One is to use new questions. Since Jian 'an, most of the songs written by literati are based on current events and follow ancient topics, often with limited content and inconsistent topics. Bai Juyi writes current affairs with new topics, so it is also called "New Topic Yuefu".
The second is to write current events. After Jian 'an, writers have their own innovative themes, but most of them have nothing to do with current affairs. Writing new themes and current events began with Du Fu. Bai Juyi followed the tradition and stabbed the reality with the new Yuefu.
Third, it is not measured by whether you are happy or not. Many new Yuefu poems are to taste the "songs broadcast in the movement". Musically, it has the name of Yuefu, but in content, it directly inherits the realistic spirit of Han Yuefu and is a real Yuefu.
Disadvantages:
After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty witnessed social unrest and political corruption, and people of insight witnessed increasingly serious social problems, hoping to save the declining national situation through political improvement and the promotion of national spirit. This thought was embodied in the ancient prose movement and the new Yuefu movement in the literary world.
The poet inherited Du Fu's social realism style and tried to reflect the sufferings of people's livelihood and the disadvantages of social reality in his poems. However, this type of creation is bound to touch powerful people, so it is not smooth in promoting the atmosphere. However, such a spirit of caring for the country and the people is commendable in both literary history and humanitarian care.

Poets such as Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen either "hinted at ancient themes" or imitated Du Fu's "poems about famous things", improved the popular folk songs at that time and actively engaged in the creation of new Yuefu poems. Bai Juyi's 50 New Yuefu Poems, his New Yuefu Poems 10, Yuan Zhen's Tian Jia Ci and Zhi Fu Ci, and Li Pai's New Yuefu Poems 12 are all their representative works.
Zhang Ji's 33 Yuefu poems, wild old songs, fortification poems and Jia's poems reflect the sufferings brought to the people by the war and expose the cruel exploitation and slavery of the people by the rulers. Wang Jian described the miserable life of the courier in the boatman's Ballad.
Tian Jia Xing and Silkworm Collection revealed the cruelty of feudal taxation. Li Shen once wrote 20 new poems about Yuefu, but there are no more. His two poems "Compassion for Farmers" wrote: "A drop in the spring will yield ten thousand kinds in the autumn. There are no idle fields in the four seas, and farmers still starve to death. "
"After cutting the grain at noon, sweat dripped into the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard. " It has become a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages. Pi Rixiu, Nie and Du Xunhe, poets in the late Tang Dynasty, inherited the spirit of the new Yuefu.
Pi Rixiu's ten poems and three shameful poems, Nie's Journey to the Childe, Du Xunhe's Widow in the Mountain and Houhui Village Rebellion, profoundly exposed the cruelty and decay of the rulers in the late Tang Dynasty and the social reality before and after the peasant war in the late Tang Dynasty.
