The homophonic word "pear style" comes from the homophonic name of poetess Zhao Lihua. Some of her works are different in form and have caused controversy. Some netizens dubbed it "saliva poem". Zhao Lihua, a member of Chinese Writers Association, is a national first-class writer. He used to be the poetry judge of the second Lu Xun Literature Award and the editorial director of Selected Poems. Now, Zhao Lihua's poetic style and poems that imitate her poetic style are called "pear style".
Since August, 2006, the "Zhao Lihua's Poetry Incident" has appeared on the Internet. Netizens imitate a large number of spoken poems with a mocking attitude, and even some busybodies set up the "Pear Flower School" with "Zhao Lihua" as the homonym, and named it the "Leader". There are also "anti-Zhao schools" and "pro-Zhao schools" in the literary world, which have caused controversy in the poetry circle. See Baidu Encyclopedia "Zhao Lihua's Poetry Event"
