Shangguanti is the first poetic title named after an individual in the history of Tang poetry. Refers to the court poems represented by Shangguan Yi in Longshuo period of Tang Gaozong. The theme is mainly to serve harmony, respond to the system and chant things, with vague content, paying attention to the formal skills of poetry and pursuing the rhetorical beauty of poetry.

Shangguan Yi represented the formalistic tendency of the court poets at that time, and promoted the finalization of the regular poems. It provides a new paradigm for the trend of metrical poetry, and it is a bridge between the new poetry since Qi Liang and Shen Song's metrical poetry.

In the history of the development of Tang poetry, it inherited Yang Shidao, Li Baiyao and Yu Shinan, and started the "Four Friends of Articles" and Shen Quanqi and Song.

Shangguan Yi's innovation in the poetic system mainly lies in the exquisiteness and delicacy of objects and images. With superb skills, he diluted the flashy carving of Qi Liang's poetic style. However, the theme of the poem is still confined to the category of court literature, lacking impassioned and heroic spirit. Because most of the court poets are successful and full of ambitions, their contact with life is relatively narrow.
