Abstract:
In the 1950s, not long after the foundation of new China, when people are wild about singing the praises of the ruler, SHAO's poetry is fervent and heroic, which is incompatible with the then flattering style. He thereupon faces kinds of censure because of his sticking to conscience and truth and has to seclude himself. He restarts his poetry with great changes in the creative style, which becomes tranquil and rational.

Key words: tranquility, heroism, Atticism, fervency
