欧阳修的赠序文在内容上主要有言劝慰、作勉励、表称美三类,在艺术上也具有独特的魅力:情系于文,意蕴深厚;巧于构思,随人赋文;善用比喻、类比、对比、渲染等手法,这些都统一在“六一风神”这一独特的美学风范之中。其赠序文完全脱离了赠诗之依附,成为一种独立的文体,且从中可以略见其作为一代之“精神导师”的风采。
From the perspective of content, OUYANG Xiu's Zeng Xu can be divided into three groups as follows, persuasion,
encouragement, and praise. While from the perspective of art, his Zeng Xu is full of affections and profound applications, with clever conception and metaphor, analogy, comparison and rendering, all of which are fully displayed in his unique aesthetic style. His Zeng Xu has become an independent style rather than a simple attachment to the poetry, from which his style as a "spiritual mentor" could be comprehended.
