1. Stick to the theme of realism: Su Shi is a person who cares about the people and is interested in helping them through the world. He criticized and mocked all kinds of unreasonable phenomena in social reality, and always regarded criticizing reality as an important theme of his poetry creation. He became an official and was demoted many times. He has the opportunity to get in touch with the lower classes, and often writes down the sufferings of the people he has heard and seen in his poems. For example, the Yellow Emperor was sent to Zhejiang to write about the hardships of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after the flood, Night Cow's Mouth wrote about the hardships of residents along the Yangtze River, and Wu Zhong Tian Tan reflected the situation of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees and low grain prices hurting farmers at that time. These works reflect Su Shi's concern for people's sufferings from one side.
2. Rich content has high aesthetic value: scholars generally believe that the poetry before the Tang Dynasty is narrow in content and small in pattern. Li Dongyang of the Ming Dynasty said: "When Lai Du's poems came out, they were slightly unfolded, and almost everything in the world could be done. 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 content, subject matter, forms and feelings. In his later years, he wrote more than 100 Tao poems, which are quite distinctive.
