However, the development of poetry in Ming Dynasty is very tortuous and presents a complicated situation. Judging from the evolution and development of poetry in the Ming Dynasty in six periods, in the first period, although some poets in the early Ming Dynasty had shown a tendency to imitate the Tang Dynasty, although they were basically able to "express their thoughts", in the face of the political situation in the early Ming Dynasty, many poets began to avoid social reality and issued more "humble opinions, not direct remonstration, direct remonstration and doubt"; In the second period, Taige poems, represented by Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu, whitewashed reality, beautified and beautified, and were full of commendable works. On the surface, it looks elegant and refined, but the actual content is very poor; In the third issue, the mainstream talks about poetry, praising Li Bai and Du Fu, saying that "a scholar can't be Du Fu without getting the Tang tune first"; The fourth period is Jiajing and Qin Long years. The imitation tendency exposed in the first seven sons' retro movement is getting more and more serious, and the momentum of the retro movement is even worse. During the Wanli and Apocalypse of the Fifth Century, the poets who learned to speak at that time had formed a crisis of poetry creation, and the police sent to the stage to oppose the tendency of retro imitation, which affected the poetry world. However, after all, poetry needs to be tempered, and poetry with "answers" is bound to be "close to the common"; The main achievements of poetry in the sixth period are the revival of political and literary groups, and several poets in several clubs. They opposed the influential Gong 'an School and Jingling School at that time, and emphasized that poetry reflected the realistic fighting role, but it was inevitably political.
From the above, it can be seen that there are many schools of poetry creation in Ming Dynasty, and there are different theoretical propositions, but these theoretical propositions have not saved the decline of orthodox poetry, but have led to a deeper crisis in poetry creation. Poetry in the Ming Dynasty is not as broad and deep as poetry in the Tang and Song Dynasties in reflecting real life. Wu Qiao's "Answering Ten Thousand Poems" holds that although there are eight selected scholars here, although there are reasons such as "Ming's fame and fortune are in today's language, the whole spirit is exhausted in today's language, and the poetic style is lost", what is more important is that the guiding ideology of the poet's creation is biased. The imitation of the former seven poets, the superficiality of the poems of the Gong 'an school and the narrow environment of the poems of the Jingling school are all bitter fruits of the poet's inability to deeply understand the importance of life.
