光英朗練

　　光彩閃耀于凝練明了的文字之間。初唐文學家陳子昂認為文字凝練明了即可使文章光彩閃耀，因此他極力反對過度鋪陳和反復修飾。這與他推崇建安文學與正始之音，強調興寄、風骨的觀點是一致的，表明他倡導剛健明朗之美，反對綺靡纖弱的文風。

Concise and Clear Wording Makes Writings Shine

　　Chen Zi'ang, the early Tang Dynasty writer believed that concise and clear wording makes writings shine, and he strongly opposed excessive exposition and repeated ornamentation. This is in line with his advocacy of the prevailing literary style in the Jian'an era at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Zhengshi literary style of the final years of the State of Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. He put emphasis on expressing the theme and character of an article and he calls for a writing style whose beauty lies in its strength and clarity, as opposed to a style that was flamboyant and weak.

　　士龍朗練，以識檢亂，故能布采鮮凈，敏于短篇。（劉勰《文心雕龍·才略》）（陸云文思清晰而文辭精練，用自己的識見來檢視紛亂的事實與現(xiàn)象，因而能夠鮮明干凈地安排文字，擅長寫作篇幅短小的文章。）

　　Lu Yun's writings were clear and concise, in which he used his knowledge to dissect disorganized facts and happenings. He thus wrote in a clear and lucid way, and he was good at writing short articles. (Liu Xie: The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons)
