Liuyi jushi shihua

Liuyi jushi shihua (simplified Chinese: 六一居士诗话; traditional Chinese: 六一居士詩話; “Remarks on Poetry from the Retired Scholar with Six Single Things[1]”), abbreviated Liuyi shihua (simplified Chinese: 六一诗话; traditional Chinese: 六一詩話; pinyin: Liùyī shīhuà), are poetry talks (shihua[2]) by Ouyang Xiu 欧阳修 (1007–1072) of the Song dynasty, primarily focusing on poets, poetry and related events. Its length is 1 juan. One of Ouyang Xiu's art names was Liu Yi Jushi (六一居士), in English the work can therefore also shortly be called Liuyi's Remarks on Poetry.

Ouyang's work is a forerunner of this genre of shihua during Song time.[3] The poetry talks were categorized into two major schools: the Ouyang School, centered around Ouyang Xiu's work; and the Zhong School, centered around Zhong Rong's Shipin (诗品), mainly discussing poetry and rhetoric.[4]

The Hanyu da zidian (HYDZD) for example refers to the edition of the Baichuan xuehai[5] 百川学海.[6]
