An overview of Huang Tingjian's poetry theory is as follows:

1. First of all, Huang Tingjian emphasizes the "rhyme" and "rhythm" of poetry. He believes that the rhythm of poetry should be natural, and should not be too deliberate in rhythm, rhyme, etc. He advocates grasping the overall musical beauty in creation, so that poetry works can be smooth and natural when read aloud, and at the same time have musical beauty.

2. Secondly, Huang Tingjian advocates "using literature as poetry". He advocated introducing prose writing techniques into poetry creation to make poetry richer and more diverse. By using prose syntax, rhetoric and other techniques, Huang Tingjian successfully liberated poetry from traditional rhythm and provided important ideas for the innovative development of poetry in the Song Dynasty.

3. In addition, Huang Tingjian also put forward the theory of "intention between words". He believed that poetry should focus on expressing emotions and artistic conception, rather than just describing superficial phenomena. He advocated the use of symbols, metaphors and other techniques in poetry to make poetic works more profound and implicit, achieving the effect of exhaustive words and infinite meaning.

4. Finally, Huang Tingjian emphasized the moral enlightenment role of poetry. He believed that poetry should have the function of educating the people, and that through the dissemination of poetry, people could be morally edified and ideologically enlightened. Therefore, in his creations, he focuses on exploring themes from daily life, paying attention to social phenomena and life issues, so as to stimulate readers' thinking and perception.

Poems of Huang Tingjian

1. I live in the North Sea and the South Sea, and I send letters to the wild geese to express my gratitude. A cup of wine with peach and plum spring breeze, and a light in the rainy night in the rivers and lakes for ten years. There are only four walls to run a household, but there are only three walls to cure diseases. I imagine my head has turned white when I read, and the ape across the stream is crying because of the miasma of vines in the stream.

2. Riding an ox far past Qian Village, you can hear the piccolo blowing across the long distance. There are so many famous and wealthy people in Chang'an who are not as good as you if they run out of agencies.

3. Ten years of lanterns in the rivers and lakes.

4. The idiot has left the public and family affairs behind, and is leaning against the evening sun in the pavilion. Thousands of fallen trees and mountains, the sky is far and wide, and the moon is clearly visible along the Chengjiang River. Zhu Xian is already a beautiful woman, and her blue eyes are as good as wine. Returning to the boat after thousands of miles to play the flute, I am in alliance with the white gull.

5. The sad autumn of thousands of miles is a frequent guest, and the one who has been sick for a hundred years appears on the stage alone. Difficulty and bitterness hate the frost on the temples, and the wine glass is stained by the new stop.
