Zhang Wentao was a famous poet in the late Qianlong period and Jiaqing period, and a master of seven-character poems. Zhang Wentao also talked about "soul" and agreed with Yuan Mei's poetics, which can be regarded as a poet with "soul". Zhang Wentao, Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi are also called "three outstanding men of spirit". Shu Wei, Sun Yuanxiang and Wang Tan are considered as another poet after Yuan Mei, Zhao Yi and Jiang Shiquan. Among the three, Wang Tan's poems are rough. The poems of Shu Wei and Sun Yuanxiang are mostly in and out of Li Bai, Li Shangyin and Du Mu. Sun Yuanxiang's poems are full of originality and colorful language; Shu's talented people are vertical and horizontal, and they are fantastic. Their creative tendency is basically inherited from the "spiritual school", but compared with Yuan and Zhao, their position and role in the poetry world are not as good as theirs. It can be seen from this that the influence of "spiritualism" has gradually declined. During the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, there were many poets. In addition to the above-mentioned poets, Yan Suicheng, who devoted himself heroically to history, should also be mentioned. Yao Nai took Qing Jiong as the Sect; Li Jian with a clear outline and pictures in his poems; Wu Xiqi, whose style is beautiful and elegant, and whose words are beautiful; Hong, bold and unrestrained writing, strange language; Don't shy away from rude and straightforward Song Xiang and so on. However, judging from the general trend, his later poetry creation gradually declined.
During Daoguang and Xianfeng periods, internal and external contradictions broke out, and the Opium War marked that China entered the modern history stage, and the development of Qing poetry also entered a new period.
Shen Deqian's Poems of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Chang's Biography of Hu Hai's Poems, Xu Shichang's Poems of the Late Qing Dynasty, etc., have collected the works of many writers and are very popular.
