Although some poets in the early Ming Dynasty have shown a tendency to learn from the Tang people, they can basically "speak with substance" and achieve "making famous articles and flowing freely". Among them, some poets experienced great social unrest at the end of Yuan Dynasty, among which Liu Ji and Gao Qi were the most famous.

The characteristics of poetry in Ming Dynasty;

1, a variety of creative genres

There are many schools of poetry creation. In addition to the influential Chinese studies, the first seven schools, the last seven schools, the public security school and the Jingling school, there are many regional schools in the dynasties. This phenomenon is obviously related to the atmosphere of the literati wedding poetry club in Ming Dynasty.

Faced with the decline of orthodox poetry, poets in the Ming Dynasty put forward many theoretical ideas on poetry creation.

3, breadth and depth

Poetry in the Ming Dynasty is not as broad and deep as poetry in the Tang and Song Dynasties in reflecting real life. Of course, there are reasons such as stereotyped writing by literati, but more importantly, there are deviations in the guiding ideology of poet's creation. The imitation of the former seven poets, the superficiality of the poems of the Gong 'an school and the narrow environment of the poems of the Jingling school are all bitter fruits of the poet's inability to deeply understand the importance of life.
