They put forward the idea that "articles should be written in time, and poems should be written for things". In the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yi said in Volume IV of Ou Bei Shi Hua: "Han, Meng, Yuan and Bai are the most important poems of China. Han, Jing Meng, businessmen dare not speak; Yuan, white on Tan Yi, what the speaker wants. " Bai Yuan Poetry School and Han Meng Poetry School seem to run counter to each other, but in fact, all roads lead to the same goal.
Bai Yuan Poetry School refers to Han Meng Poetry School represented by Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. They pay attention to realism and are still popular today. They launched the New Yuefu Movement, emphasizing punishing evil and promoting good in poetry, making up for the function of current politics, and striving to be easy to understand in language.

Scholars in troubled times dare not forget to care about the country and the people. They use their own literary creations to reflect the society and guide human feelings. A group of poets, represented by Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi, launched a vigorous new Yuefu movement and put forward the creative purpose of "combining articles with the times, combining songs with things".
