Second, it is rich in content and high in aesthetic value. Scholars generally believe that the poems before the Tang Dynasty were narrow in content and small in pattern. As far as creative style is concerned, the poems of Wang Anshi, Huang Tingjian and Chen Shidao may be more prominent and distinctive than those of Su Shi, but as far as creative achievements are concerned, Su Shi is outstanding. Su Shi's poems are unique in terms of rich content, wide subject matter, diverse forms and profound feelings.

He has studied classical poems such as The Book of Songs and Songs of the South, and his poetry creation is deeply influenced by Li Bai, Du Fu, Tao Yuanming, Liu Zongyuan and others. He can appreciate a variety of literary styles, which shows that the diversity of aesthetic tastes has influenced his poetry creation. The tone of Su Shi's poetic style is bold and unrestrained, with a simple aesthetic feeling. He pays special attention to the harmony and infiltration of masculine beauty and feminine beauty in his creation, so Su Shi's excellent poems often show a style of combining rigidity with softness. In terms of poetry creation, Su Shi is good in all aspects, ancient and modern, and the seven ancient is the best.
