And then I would try to discuss the unique performance characteristics of Jiang’s poetry. This question could be discussed from these four angles:the relationship between emotion and scene, the presentation of intuitive experience, implicit expression and the "verve" of Jiang’s quatrains. Jiang’s pursuit on genre firstly surfaces in his emphasis of genre in theory, and by analyzing his poems of different genres we could find that he pays more attention to quatrains than other genres, which may have something to do with his creation of Ci. In addition, Jiang’s poetic language reflects a special style which combines exquisite and natural.
