Poetry in the early Tang Dynasty still carries the habits left over from the Six Dynasties. These poems are flashy and have low style. Chen Ziang had lofty ideals and ambitions, and he wanted to change the situation at that time. Chen Ziang's poems were progressive and rich in content at that time, and the simple and strong style and language had a great influence on the literature of the whole Tang Dynasty at that time. So that after Chen Ziang's death, his good friend Lu Zangyong also wrote ten files for Chen Ziang. Chen Ziang's poetry creation mainly shows his thoughts at that time. Chen Ziang's thirty-eight experiential poems are just like those in the twenty-ninth poem Xishan is a soldier. "Qiongdao grabs grain, and Ji competes for Qiang city" is the main representative work that shows this revolutionary and innovative spirit. There are also some poems that lament the impermanence of life and praise the hermit's feelings of seeking immortality. These poems have strong negative thoughts of Buddhism and metaphysics.
Chen Ziang's metrical poems are few, but as he wrote, "Seeing Chu in Jingmen", he went to the martial arts and saw the next stage. Bashan river is exhausted, Jingmen smog is open ... ",which is also the masterpiece of the early Tang Dynasty. Chen Ziang expressed the magnificent mountains and rivers he saw when he first walked out of Shu in one go. Chen Ziang's style is obviously different from other poets. However, Chen Ziang's poems also have shortcomings in art, which shows that Chen Ziang's research on Yuefu folk songs in the Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties is not deep enough. He doesn't attach importance to the new form of seven-character poem, and there is not a seven-character poem in his poetry collection.
