The New Yuefu Movement is a quite powerful poetry movement. Its representatives are Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi. Although Yuan Bai is always called Yuan Bai in literary history, Bai Juyi is the theoretical founder of this school, and his poetic achievements are higher, and he is the true representative (Bai Juyi's tomb in Luoyang).
The name "New Yuefu" was proposed by Bai Juyi in relation to Han Yuefu. Its meaning is to use self-created new Yuefu titles to chant current events, so it is also called the "New Yuefu Movement". "Yuan Bai" refers to the poets Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi of the Mid-Tang Dynasty. They are both advocates of the New Yuefu Movement. The collective name "Yuan Bai" was already popular in the era when Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi lived.
