The intention of the author of the T'an lung lu : Based on Chao's own preface to the work , the author discusses its literary background . Chao's theories as distinct from those of Wang Shih-chen 王士禎（1634-1711） might have been influenced by his association with the literary circle in the South , which included writers like Yen Juo-ch'u 閻若璩 and Ku I-an 顧以安 . 3. The first argument : In this section Chao's criticism of Wang's poetry , poetics , and personality is discussed together with the reasons for Chao's relentless criticism . 4.
