First, the concept of new style poetry:
Yongming was the title of Emperor Wu of Qi in the Southern Dynasties. Yongming style is also called "new style poetry", which requires strict four tones and eight diseases and emphasizes rhyme and meter. The appearance of this poetic style has played a certain role in correcting the shortcomings of literati's poetic language since Jin and Song Dynasties and making the creation turn to fresh and smooth. It has a great influence on the formation of "modern poetry".
Second, the historical position of new poetry:
Before "Yongming Style", "Ancient Style Poetry", also known as "Ancient Style Poetry" and "Ancient Style Poetry", was popular in poetry circles. Each sentence has four words, five words, six words, seven words and miscellaneous words, and even words and rhymes are free to use. After the Tang Dynasty, metrical poems and quatrains were formed, which were called "Modern Poetry" and "Modern Poetry".
This is in contrast to "ancient poetry", which has strict rules on the number of sentences, words, levels and rhymes. The embryonic form of this kind of "modern poetry" is "new poetry", that is, "Yongming poetry". The appearance of "Yongming style" marks the temporary end of ancient style poetry and indicates that "modern style poetry" is about to appear.
Therefore, even if future generations criticize "Yongming Style" poems in one way or another, we should affirm the position of "Yongming Style" poems in the history of literature and give them due evaluation.

In addition to the above three people, Fan Li and others have also written many good poems, and their poetic style is close to that of Xie and Shen. He Xun, Wu Jun, Liu Yun and Liu Xiaozhuo, who became famous in Liang Dynasty, also got married respectively.
He Xun's poetic style is also close to that of Xie Tiao, and Wu Yun is more quaint and distinctive. Xiao Yan, one of the Eight Friends of Jingling and later the founding emperor of Liang Dynasty, also wrote some beautiful and readable poems, but he did not agree with the theory of "four tones and eight diseases".
