Popular literary schools and thoughts in Indian Hindi literature in the Middle Ages. Because French doctrine is mainly manifested in poetry creation, it is also called French poetry school. This school of poets adapted to the needs of the increasingly corrupt feudal ruling class, created a large number of erotic poems, and pursued gorgeous words and novel expressions in form. The representative poets of this school are Bihari and Devo. The theoretical advocate is Geshe Vadas. Geshe Vadasz (1561-1621) was born in a Brahmin family and used to be a court poet and teacher of a feudal Lord. His literary theory work is Poet's Love, which specializes in the form and writing skills of erotic poems.
Legalists require that all kinds of expressions and actions of love should be shown according to regulations, all kinds of "flavors" should be shown according to certain formulas, and rhetorical skills should also be shown. Legalists also followed the stylized formalism theories such as "classification of heroines" and "description of female parts" which were popular in the later period of Sanskrit classical literary theory. Comments on the works mainly point out the quality of the works in terms of phonology, interest and rhetoric, regardless of the contents of the works.
Legalists inherited the Indian classical aesthetic tradition initiated by dance theory, focusing on "taste" for creation and appreciation. The connotation and essence of "taste" in ancient Indian aesthetics is beauty in a broad sense. However, in ancient Indian aesthetics, "interest" originated from real life, while French completely abandoned the real content of "interest" and greatly developed formalism and formalism in traditional aesthetics, becoming an extremely formulaic and formalistic aesthetic theory. French was popular from the middle of17th century to the middle of19th century, and its influence continued until the beginning of 20th century.
