What does the New Yuefu Movement mean?

During Zhenyuan and Yuanhe years in Tang Dynasty, a group of poets, such as Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, Zhang Ji, Wang Jian and Li Shen, inherited Du Fu's realistic literary tradition, dared to face up to life, consciously excavated materials from the source of life, and created a large number of Yuefu poems with new themes, new languages and new poems. This is the famous new Yuefu movement in the history of literature. The new Yuefu movement inherited the realistic tradition of ancient poetry in poetry theory, criticized the disadvantages of the times, and claimed that the famous assertion of "combining articles with the times, combining songs with poems" was the creative program of the new Yuefu movement. Linguistically speaking, the new Yuefu poems are simple, easy to recite and harmonious in melody.
