Rhyme and essay were not distinguished into two categories till Western and Eastern Han Dynasties. Although the former writers focused more on the theme and the content than techniques, blending ornament into plain language or using parallel phrases were out of a writer's nature, and were helpful to explain ideas. Since Wei and Jin Dynasties, literary style was changed. The style of Pianli (Liti Wen) begun to be popular, and literature language became ornate and complicated. The former plain style was replaced by Nan Dynasty's elaborate Pianli style. Among Pianli writers, Lu Shiheng was an outstanding and ambitious one. He ended the former plain style, founded model and principles of Pianli, and had influences on later generations. Lu was renowned as the master and the vanguard of Pianli style. Inheriting the profound groundwork, the later writers were ingenuity, and had shown their creavities in different dynasties. However, the tides of Western culture and theories invaded when the Republic of China built. Pianli style was almost disappearance. Thanked to Cheng Chuwang's striving, Pianli style was revival again. Cheng's writings are distinctive and prominent for fusing history with modernity, reflecting the spirit of the Age, and exploiting appropriate allusions. Pianli's thousand years' development was related to the circumstance, and with great virtue, Cheng extended it in Democrotic Age. As the vanguard of Pianti style, Lu founded its norm; as the rear guard, Cheng revitalized it from weakening. The essay is divided into four parts. First, an introduction of Pianli's development before it had a model. Second, Lu became the vanguard of Pianli. Third, the transformations of Pianli since the model had been founded. The last part, Cheng became the rear guard of Pianli. According to Chronicle of Zuo, the significances of military commanding should be ”the service helps the preparation; the vanguard leads the norm; the center plans strategies, and the rear guards the army.” Pianli's development was like the allusion that was prepared from the early Qin Dynasty to Western and Eastern Han Dynasties; was founded in the Western Jin Dynasty; form Song to Qing Dynasty, writers present it with their talent and creativities; when the Republic of China built, Cheng guarded it, and presented the style's aesthetics once again. Consequently, The history on Pianli's development was as clear as a chain.
