In the early years of Song Huizong, Lu Benzhong wrote the Sect Map of Jiangxi Poetry Society, named the poetry school headed by Huang Tingjian and Chen Shidao "Jiangxi Poetry School", and respected Huang Tingjian as the ancestor of the school. Later, Du Fu was called the ancestor of Jiangxi poetry school, while Huang Tingjian, Chen were called the "schools" of poetry school, and put forward the theory of "one ancestor and three schools" of Jiangxi poetry school. The creative ideas and characteristics of Jiangxi Poetry School are: paying attention to syntax and liking to use strange sentences; Code the old for the new, and turn the vulgar into elegance; The style is new, thin and hard, but bright and slippery. The evolution of Jiangxi Poetry School itself also represents the transformation from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty. Jiangxi Poetry School is an important link in the development of Song poetry.
Huang Tingjian's valley poetry is the product of the development of Song poetry in Yuan You period. Yan Yu classified Huang Tingjian's poems as "valley style" in Cang Shi Lang Dialect. Its overall style is characterized by newness and thinness, and its main artistic feature is that it likes to use awkward sentences. The so-called "awkward sentences" mainly change the sentence patterns and flat words in the regular poems, and deliberately create an effect of breaking the balance and harmony. This deliberate novelty, awkward sentences and blunt words are important factors in forming a new thin and hard style in the valley. The use of allusion is also an important aspect of innovation in the valley, and it is a concrete embodiment of the implementation of "turning iron into gold" and "robbing the fetus to change bones" in poetry creation.
