Two of Zhang Ruoxu's poems are "Moonlit Night on the Spring River" and "An Answer to a Girlfriend's Dream". The first song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" helped Zhang Ruoxu establish his historical status as an outstanding poet in the Tang Dynasty, and he can be known and remembered by us. Among them, "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" is known as the best of Tang poetry. The description of the poem is delicate and the melody is harmonious. The whole poem expresses the impermanence of life and has a great influence on later generations.
"Replying to a Girlfriend's Dream" is a five-character long poem about a girl's resentment written by Zhang Ruoxu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. There are only 12 sentences in the whole poem, which describe the changes in the thoughts of the missing woman throughout the day, expressing her emotions with scenes, expressing her longing for the people on the frontier. By describing the actions and psychological activities such as trying on clothes, opening the mirror, washing makeup, falling asleep, closing the door, etc., the picture of loneliness and desolation is expressed.
Except for the first and last couplets, all other couplets use antithesis. The whole poem is bright, neat, and harmonious, and it has not yet shed the powdery flavor of Qi Liang poetry style.
