[Pinyin]: Yanghupai
The prose schools in the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods of the Qing Dynasty. When Tongcheng School's prose had a great influence in the literary world, the Yanghu literati Yun Jing, Li Zhaoluo, and the Wujin literati Zhang Huiyan (both Yanghu and Wujin counties belong to Changzhou, Jiangsu Province today) accepted the influence of Tongcheng School and put forward some different ideas, known as the Yanghu School.
Yun Jingben is good at the articles of pre Qin legalists and Song Dynasty Su Xun, and Li Zhaoluo and Zhang Huiyan are good at Han Fu and parallel prose. They accepted the Tongcheng School's proposition and devoted themselves to the ancient prose of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but Zhang and Li also advocated the combination of parallel prose and prose; Yun Jing also advocated learning from various schools of thought. Yun Jing said: "The weakness of a hundred schools should be reduced to six arts; the decline of a collection of essays should be reduced to a hundred schools. Its height, distance and quality depend on the nature of people, and it can not be strengthened.". He was dissatisfied with the Tongcheng School writers, such as Fang Baowen, who said that "the purpose is near but sometimes different, and the speech is near but sometimes dull" (The Book of Shangcao Lisheng's Waiter), Liu Dakui, who said that "the words are extremely clean but the meaning cannot avoid being near" (Dayun Mountain Fang Yan Shi), and Yao Naiwen, who said that "it is short and dare not speak loudly" (the same as before). However, his own articles also have some shortcomings, such as complexity and elegance, which are not as elegant and natural as Tongcheng School. The Yanghu School is not as rigid and narrow as the Tongcheng School; Their works, with the Tongcheng School, have both advantages and disadvantages, and cannot really surpass the Tongcheng School. Since Yun Jing and Zhang Huiyan were once educated in Tongcheng, literary historians also regarded the Yanghu School as an offshoot of Tongcheng School.
