What is an official poem?

Shangguan style poems:

It refers to the poetic style initiated by some writers in the early Tang Dynasty, represented by Shangguan Yi, a poet who moved to the palace. Shangguanti's "Qi Cuo Wan Mei" represents the imperial tendency of pursuing the beauty of formal skills and sound, and also embodies a relatively healthy and cheerful creative mentality and elegant temperament, which was imitated by many poets at that time and was called "Shangguanti".

Palace poetry

Refers to the poems produced in the court with the description of court life as the basic content, and the style is usually superficial and frivolous. In other words, palace poetry is a kind of palace literature with specific content and style.

Although palace poems appeared in the Liang Dynasty, they originated from western songs popular in Wu Ge after the Jin and Song Dynasties.

Palace-style poetry has lasted for nearly a hundred years in history. Because the three generations of literati of Liang, Chen and Sui mostly gathered in the court, and the court literati were almost all the literati of that era, court poetry became the mainstream of poetry development during this hundred years.

Palace-style poems were popular in three short-lived dynasties, and Chen Houzhu and Yang Di were the so-called kings of national subjugation, so palace-style poems were often said to be the voice of national subjugation.
