During the Mid-Tang period, popular literature was very prosperous, which has not only brought about the evolutionary tendency of scholars’ esthetic favor of popular literature, but has led to the massive creation of popular literary works as well. The important role of Zhuzhici in social entertainment and its enormous influence on both poets at that time and future generations were very typical. The popularity of bamboo worship and sad and depressive style of Zhuzhici made it possible to be widely accepted in folk songs. Liu Yuxi reformed Zhuzhici successfully, which turned Zhuzhici into the appropriate style of verse for describing custom henceforth.
