恒仁是清代宗室诗人,有四十三则,约万言的月山诗话一卷。诗话内容包括品评 唐、宋诗人诗作,纠前人诗歌作者及典章制度之正误,考前人诗歌创作之师法和技法,对 富有争议的问题抒发己见等。诗学观方面,虽较少正面阐述其诗学理念和见解,但仍能在 其考证、品评、分析诗歌审美价值的过程中析出。主张复古、兼取唐宋,重视人品及勤 学;诗歌创作技巧方面,主张辩证地学习江西诗法;要求诗歌敦厚端庄、语言清新俊逸; 评价他人诗歌重视考证校勘;宗主格调,对于神韵思想亦有所接受。诗话取得了独特的价 值,如将乾嘉学派重考证的治学方法与诗歌批评相结合,充分展示了清代宗室汉文素养和 水平,侧面证实了满族对汉文化的重视,突破格调派宗唐的局限,辩证运用江西诗派诗歌 创作技巧等。月山诗话对完善清代格调思想,修正格调派的部分理论缺陷,起了积极的 推动作用。诗话亦有不足之处,如因过分喜爱杜甫,对李白的评价有失偏颇等。
