Who are the four "four bachelors" in Sumen?

During the Northern Song Dynasty, poets Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Zhang Lei and Zhao Bu under Su Shi, a literary master, were called "Four Gentlemen of Su Men". Among them, Huang Tingjian has the highest literary achievements and is the leader of Jiangxi Poetry School. His poems and Su Shi are called "Su Huang", and his ci and Qin Guan are called "Qin Huang Nine". His poems are tangible, rich in content, thin and tough, old-fashioned and novel, and steep in style. Zhang Mo is also famous for his poems. His poems pay attention to ideological content, but ignore artistic form and lack appeal. Qin Guan is famous for his poems. Zhao Bufei's main achievement is also in ci. He developed a bold and uncontrolled school of ci.

These four scholars have different research results, different degrees of influence from Su Shi and different literary styles. For example, Huang Tingjian founded the school of poetry, which was called Su Huang together with Su Shi; Qin Guan's main achievement lies in his ci, but his people did not imitate our poems.
