This section of the text has a similarity to Horace Ars Poetica, AP:408- 437, Nature plus training: but see through flattery, Horace says, “Whether a praiseworthy poem is due to nature or art is the question: I’ve never seen the benefit of study lacking a wealth of talent, or of untrained ability: each needs the other’s friendly assistance.” Horace mentions that nature and the hard work of study talent go hand in hand as reflected in his words of “nature,” “study,” “talent” and “untrained.” The same way as Lu chi suggests that inspiration (nature) only comes after the hard work of taming the mind (talent), with his use of words of “celestial” to mean “nature,” “arduously” to mean “study, “anger’s hook” reflects “talent,” and “stray fish” to mean “untrained.” The both realized that you need both nature and talent to be able to release the inner creativity of the writer.
