In the late Northern Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian had a great influence on poetry. Many poets followed and imitated Huang Tingjian and gradually formed this school. Members of Jiangxi Poetry School learned a lot from Du Fu. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Fang Hui, Du Fu, Huang Tingjian, Chen were called the top three schools of Jiangxi Poetry School.
The greatest feature of Jiangxi poetry school is that it takes the old as the new in language skills, emphasizes "turning the stone into gold" and "reinventing itself", and pursues a strange and tough style.
Literary attainments
Huang Tingjian's poetry is based on Du Fu, and advocates that poetry should have the essence of "unintentional writing" and the method of "turning iron into gold" and "taking the fetus as bone". His poetic style is peculiar and he is the pioneer of Jiangxi Poetry School. He is the author of Collected Works of Mr. Huang and Interesting Tales of Qin Gu.
In the early years of Song Huizong, Lu Benzhong wrote the Sect Map of Jiangxi Poetry Society, from which Jiangxi Poetry School officially entered the China poetry circle. It is the first poetic school with a formal name in the history of China literature, and it is a poetic school with Huang Tingjian's poetic creation theory as its core. Huang Tingjian is the founder and leader of Jiangxi Poetry School.
