"Xing Ji" requires that the ambition be substantial and profound. The introduction of "character bone" and "Xing Ji" not only swept away the formalist poetic style of the early Tang Dynasty, but also provided a foundation for the Tang Dynasty. It pointed out the direction for the healthy development of contemporary poetry, which was undoubtedly pioneering at the time.
