Representatives of the uninhibited school: Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Yue Fei, Chen Liang, Lu You, etc. In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Shi summed up the form of ci as follows: "The tune has a fixed frame, the sentence has a fixed number, and the word has a fixed tone." The style characteristics of graceful and restrained school: graceful, tactful and implicit.

Graceful ci school is mainly characterized by its love for children. The structure is profound and meticulous, paying attention to the harmony of melody, the language is round, fresh and beautiful, with a gentle beauty and narrow content. The style of the bold school is characterized by boldness of spirit and unrestrained interest.

It not only describes the love between men and women under the moon, but also tends to integrate major themes such as military affairs and state affairs into ci, so that ci can reflect life like poetry. It is grand, magnificent and straightforward, not subtle and graceful.
