After the equalization and dualization, there are many shortcomings. Therefore, the dispute between leveling and informal leveling almost lasted 1500 years. Mr. Wang, a Zhejiang poet, said in "My humble opinion on poetry": "The low, heavy, slow and high-low changes of joy produce sadness."

Tall, strong and powerful, the rhythm is obviously continuous, which will produce an enterprising spirit. Light, soft, flat, harmonious and jumping, resulting in lightness and liveliness. Therefore, as long as poetry is recited in music, it greatly exceeds the four tones of Chinese and has a musical beauty. "

With the deliberate development of the leveling theory, to a certain extent, it later restricted the exertion and expansion of the poetic momentum and artistic conception, and became the lame shoes or burdens of the poet, which greatly went astray and violated his original intention.
