How did Han Yu promote his ideas on classical prose?
I promoted my ideas through my extensive writings – essays, memorials, and even poetry. My essays, particularly those arguing for Guwen, were crafted to exemplify the very style I championed: clear, forceful, and free of unnecessary embellishment. I also engaged in scholarly discourse and sought to influence those in positions of power, believing that the restoration of authentic learning was crucial for the state and its people.
