Extended data:
The essence of Suiyuan Shi Hua lies in "words" but its foundation lies in "poems", so there are a lot of works collected and recorded in the book, regardless of the era, genre, author's identity and gender, and there are many things that are particularly commendable. There are also many stories, poetic techniques and anecdotes of poets in this book. Although not vulgar, we can also see the cultural situation of Qianlong from one side.
In addition to Wang Shizhen's theory of verve, Shen Deqian's theory of mode and Weng Fanggang's theory of texture, the theory of spiritual nature advocated by this book is even more unique, gathering the poetic schools of spiritual nature in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which has made important contributions to the anti-imitation and anti-textual research of poetry and returning poetry to the track of expressing its true nature. This book has a different reputation for a long time.
