There are many schools of poetry creation. In addition to the influential Chinese studies, the first seven schools, the last seven schools, the public security school and the Jingling school, there are many regional schools in the dynasties. This phenomenon is obviously related to the atmosphere of the literati wedding poetry club in Ming Dynasty.
(2) Faced with the decline of orthodox poetry, poets in the Ming Dynasty put forward many theoretical ideas on poetry creation. For example, Gao Qi thinks that he should be a teacher; Li Dongyang thinks it is necessary to distinguish the tone syllables of poetic style; The former and the latter seven scholars advocated learning from the prosperous Tang Dynasty of Han, Wei and advocating retro; The police advocate "expressing one's own spirit" and so on. These viewpoints all have some truth, involving how to learn from predecessors, how to master the characteristics of poetic style, how to express the poet's subjective feelings and so on. However, most of the theoretical propositions put forward by them have the following weaknesses: First, they overemphasize some truths they have realized and lack the dialectical attitude they deserve; Second, we can't correctly summarize the experience and lessons of poetry development since the prosperous Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. Thirdly, the key factor to improve the level of poetry creation has not been found, that is, seeking poetry in real life. Therefore, these theoretical propositions failed to save the decline of orthodox poetry, but led poetry creation to a deeper crisis.
(3) Poetry in Ming Dynasty is not as broad and deep as poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties in reflecting real life. Of course, there are eight-part essays here, which make the Ming Dynasty's fame and wealth in this article, the whole paragraph is full of verve and poetic feelings (Wu Qiao's Answer to Wan Ji □ Shi Wen) and other reasons, but more importantly, 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.
