In the poetry world of the late Northern Song Dynasty, the poetry of Qin Guan and Zhou Bangyan belonged to the

Graceful school.

Qin Guan and Zhou Bangyan were two graceful poets with distinctive artistic styles in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Qin Shaoyou’s lyrics are not those of a poet, but actually those of a poet. What Qin Shaoyou writes is often the softest and most subtle feeling. He doesn’t need to have any sustenance or ideals, it’s just a very keen feeling.

Qin Shaoyou's poems are divided into two categories: one is the relatively early poems, which express a soft and subtle feeling; the other is the poems he wrote after experiencing political setbacks to express his life experience.

Zhou Bangyan was an important author in the late Northern Song Dynasty and a comprehensive author of the Northern Song Dynasty. He absorbed various advantages of Xiaoling and Longdiao since the Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhou Bangyan was a figure who united the north and opened up the south. He was the figure who gathered the achievements of the Northern Song Dynasty and pioneered the Southern Song Dynasty.

Starting from Zhou Bangyan, his poetry has changed a bit. Instead of winning by emotion, he has won by thinking.
