First of all, the style of poetry has always been criticized by different levels, ways and personal preferences, and some of them even have obvious polarization tendency. As far as ancient poems are concerned, they are abundant, but they are generally recognized as good poems, but being recognized does not mean being appreciated by individuals, which is also related to the expression and personal appreciation of the poems themselves. China's new poems have been published for more than one hundred years. After many political and cultural tests, not many people can leave their names, so most of them can stand the test. It's really hard to lift three out of so many people.
Secondly, the ranking is inevitably subjective, even in terms of contribution to poetry, it is inevitably biased.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella alone
Wandering in the long, long
Lonely rain lane,
I hope to see
Like cloves.

Spinning along the peeling ancient wall,
Sunset hangs obliquely in the western sky,
The height of the ancient wall is full of residual red.
The ancient wall silently arched the old man's waist,
Look at the history ahead.

Put your arms around Baota shan.
