His poems draw on a wide range of materials, have both solemn and charming content, and a free and unrestrained style. They are unique in the CI world and have a far-reaching influence.
Su Shi’s innovation in the style of poetry is mainly reflected in incorporating the content and themes of poetry into poetry while retaining and developing the unique artistic charm of poetry. Su Shi's lyrics broke through the formal barriers of poetry and broke the strict boundaries between poetry and poetry in terms of subject matter and content.

It was Su Shi's bold attempt to innovate the style of poetry and its outstanding achievements and huge influence that completely reversed the situation where poetry was superior to Ci and brought a vibrant spring to the Ci world.
Under the guidance of the theory of poetry as ci, Su Shi used his unbridled talent in writing, his free and unrestrained personality, and his bold and heroic character to explore the ci garden, expand the territory, and expand the subject matter and content. The words are in various shapes and styles, each showing its own style. There are more than 350 Dongpo poems in existence, with a wide range of contents. His poems cover almost everything and are all-encompassing, greatly broadening the expressive content and space of his poems, changing the traditional concept of high poetry and inferior poetry, allowing readers to see all aspects of life content in his poems and touch the times. Pulse, the focus of performance has also shifted. What is particularly worth mentioning is the expression of the feelings of scholar-bureaucrats, the emotion of the vicissitudes of the world, and the description of rural life in Su's poems. Compared with the traditional themes of love between men and women, separation and sorrow, etc., they are obviously a kind of poetry. Big changes.
Let’s first talk about the expression of feelings towards scholar-bureaucrats. Su Shi's rich life experience, strong sense of urgency, and the ups and downs of his official career are often reflected in his lyrics.
Secondly, let’s look at the thoughts on the vicissitudes of life. Su Shi was demoted to the deputy envoy of Huangzhou Tuanlian because of the "Wutai Poetry Case", and his life was like an exile. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincided with Su Shi's nearly one year in prison. Facing the bright moon in the sky, he had mixed feelings and composed a poem called "Moon on the West River". The first film embodies emotion and scenery, praising the shortness of life and lamenting the failure of career. His lofty ideals of active participation in the world, serving the kings of Yao and Shun, and making achievements at this time and place turned into a long sigh that his ambition was unfulfilled, which also contained infinite regret for the passing of his years. The second film uses the scenery to express feelings, feeling the harshness of the world, and feeling sad about the loneliness of life. "Mingyue" contains a double entendre, which not only refers to the actual scene in front of you, but also alludes to the poet's beautiful ideals and noble personality. The last two sentences describe the infinite longing for relatives and friends and the deep feeling of hoping that the court will understand when their loyalty is slandered. At the same time, they express the author's love and pursuit of life and life in frustration and frustration. He shows broad-mindedness in depression and detachment in loneliness. There is also "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgic", which uses ancient people and events to express the same sighs about life and express one's infinite resentment that one's ambitions cannot be fulfilled.
Thirdly, Su Shi was the first to use words to praise rural life. Even when he was demoted to various places, he never forgot to work diligently, love the people, and do good things for the people. When he learned about Xuzhou, he led the local military and civilians to fight against floods and droughts. During this period, he used simple writing to describe charming pastoral scenery and lovely images of farmers. Just take one of the poems in the series "Huanxisha". The film depicts the look of a village girl hurriedly dressing up as she puts on red makeup, the way friends push me to go out for a visit, and the screams when her skirt is torn, recreating the village girls' eagerness and love for beauty as they compete to see you. . In just a few words, a simple, fresh, interesting and lively rural landscape picture pops up before your eyes. The second part depicts the young and old supporting each other, bringing wine and food to the shrine to thank the gods for the rain, which attracted a flock of kites scrambling for food. The conclusion is about an old man lying drunk on the grass by the roadside at sunset, like a close-up shot in a movie. Through a series of pictures, the author reproduces the festive scene after the rain in the countryside. In front of our eyes, we seem to see the green fields, the dense mist, the shy village girls, and the happy scenes of the officials and the people. This undoubtedly implies the denial of the dirty atmosphere of the officialdom and the infinite yearning and love for the rural pastoral life.
In addition, Su Shi's graceful words have washed away the rich rosy atmosphere and diluted the lingering and pathos emotions. They are also full of wit and charm, with simple words and rich meaning. This can be seen in the love words in "Die Lian Hua". After reading this alternative elegance, it is truly refreshing, haunting and moving.
