The contributions of the "four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty" to Tang poetry mainly include:
First, the theme and content are large. They changed the description of scenes and themes from the palace to the market, such as Lu's "Chang 'an Ancient Meaning"; From Taige to Jiangshan indifference, such as Yang Jiong's "Join the Army". In addition, the poem is magnificent, generous, sad and touching, especially Lu and Luo's seven-character poems, which are magnificent, broad in vision, fluent in writing and vivid in charm, and have opened up a new poetic style earlier. Some poems have high ambition and spirit, which are mainly reflected in farewell works and frontier poems, such as Wang Bo's Send Du Shaofu to Ren Shuchuan.
Secondly, the metrical form of poetry is discussed. First of all, five-character and eight-sentence metrical poems have begun to take shape, especially Wang Bo's and Yang Jiong's Five Laws. They pursue the neatness of duality and the coordination of rhythm, and their feelings are relatively stable, with a sense of conceit, heroism and generosity. Yang Jiong's five-character law completely conforms to the law of near-body viscosity, which plays an important role in the formation of the five-character law. Secondly, the ancient customs and singing methods, especially Lu and Luo's seven-character quatrains, have become complete, magnificent, broad-minded and vigorous. Rulu's Hard to Walk and Luo's Imperial Capital.
Of course, the poetic style of the "four outstanding poets" also belongs to the "contemporary style", which did not completely get rid of the influence of the popular palace-style poetic style at that time, but formed the metrical and rhythmic Tang poetry from them.
