Su Shi's contribution to Ci is outstanding. Before Su Shi appeared, the content of ci was bound by traditional ideas and limited to the scope of feminine and erotic ci. Su Shi, on the other hand, lamented the past and hurt the present, wrote telegrams, lamented the current politics, described the pastoral scenery of mountains and rivers, and even talked about philosophy, which greatly expanded the theme and artistic conception of Ci, and opened up a new situation for the folk performance of Song Ci. In terms of style, Su Shi initiated the bold school. Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia is the representative work of Su Shi's bold school. In addition, Su Shi also has some words describing "Huai Yi Hao", which are elegant, simple and high-spirited, such as When there is a bright moon in the water, and there are many graceful words, such as Jiang Chengzi Ten Years of Life and Death, which shows that Su Shi's words are mainly bold and changeable. Su Shi's Ci is a milestone in the development of Song Ci, "Ci is Ke Yan". He broke through the old frame of writing about love and parting between men and women since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, expanded the theme of poetry and improved the artistic conception of poetry. He can use words to express the themes that poets have been using, such as nostalgia, nostalgia, travel, reasoning and so on. , so that the word can get rid of the state of being just the lyrics of music and become a new poetic style that can develop independently.

In this sense, Su Shi is the key figure to make Song Ci a representative style of a generation. There are about 4,000 existing Su poems, which have a wide range of contents and diverse styles, but they are mainly bold and unconstrained, with changeable brushwork and romantic color, which has opened up a new road for the development of Song poetry.

Zhao Yi's "Ou Bei Shi Hua" said: "It is a spectacular sight for a generation to take literature as poetry and go from Changli to Dongpo Yida. ..... Especially out of reach, born with a healthy pen, as cold as a sad pear. Cut together quickly, and there is a sense of secrecy that must be achieved.
