Zhang Xiaoxiang's articles exposed and criticized the decadent politics of the Southern Song Dynasty, and showed the patriotic spirit of resolutely resisting the enemy and recovering lost territory. Many of his poems have answers, poems and stories, and many chapters can show deep concern for the fate of the country and people's lives in the narrative of scenery. For example, Huangzhou: "It is difficult to read current events and it is difficult to stay." Fu Xue, the son of Professor Xiao Shenyang, said, "Today it's only a few hundred dollars, let alone winning people's hearts", and so on, all of which are realistic and ideological. His poems were widely circulated and highly praised at that time. Xie praised his article, "Like the waves of the sea and the flying clouds of Mount Tai, it is scattered and gathered, bright and dark. Although it is ever-changing, it is not easy to find its poverty." (Preface to the Collected Works of Mr. Zhang Yuhu) He writes poems with the intention of imitating Su Shi. Han Yuanji praised him as "Wen Ya" and said: "His happy feelings are all in poems, and it is almost impossible for a busybody to lament." (Preface to Zhang Anguo's Poems)

Zhang Xiaoxiang has more than 220 poems, among which the most outstanding achievement is his patriotic thought and social reality. For example, [Huanxisha] wrote "Wan Li Central Plains North Fire" in "Jingzhou Yuemajun View Climbing the Tower First" to express his nostalgia for North China under the rule of Jin people; The titles of Shuidiao and Pang Fuyou express the enthusiasm of the Northern Expedition against the enemy with the words "Cut the candle and see Wu Gou" and "Strike the oath". Wang Longhuai, his masterpiece Song of Six Kingdoms, summarizes the social situation in the twenty years after the defeat of Lifu in Shaoxing and Longxing in the first year, and expresses great indignation at the Southern Song Dynasty's policy of not trimming the border, not using talents and pursuing humiliating peace. Writing between the lines: "I heard that the old friends in the Central Plains always look south and are beautiful in jade; When pedestrians come here, their hearts are full of loyalty and tears. " It is said that he gave the word to Jiankang's left-behind seat at that time. Zhang Jun was deeply moved after reading it, and walked for it (Shuo Lan led the legacy of the ruling and opposition). In the Qing Dynasty, Chen Tingzhuo's "Bai Yu Zhai Hua Ci" also said that this word was "dripping with ink and making people dance", which shows its great influence. In Zhang Xiaoxiang's ci, there are many works that express feelings about scenery, such as [Nian Nujiao], [Li Si], [Shuidiao Tou] and Pan Xiangjiang River. Through the description of "the storm is evil everywhere" on the river and the mourning for Qu Yuan, he expressed his feelings of "wandering in the world" and innocence. He often shows an open-minded and open-minded attitude towards life, which is obviously deeply influenced by Su Shi. For example, in Xijiang Moon and Huanxisha, "The world has become accustomed to it now, and its heart is carefree everywhere" and "The world is not tied to a boat, so its heart is not afraid of gulls, so it lies down and watches the stormy waves, and the sky floats" implies the author's grievances after being hit hard. Another example is Nian Nujiao's Crossing Dongting, which was written on the way home from Guilin after being dismissed from office for two years (1 166). Shang Kun described the scenery of Dongting with "clear inside and clear outside", while Xia Kun expressed his lofty mind with "the liver and lungs are all ice and snow", which was praised by predecessors as the most outstanding poem in the ci. This kind of words has a broad realm and a bleak artistic conception. Although it does not directly describe the social reality, it shows the special color of that era.

It is said that Zhang Xiaoxiang "made peace with the past with words, never wrote a manuscript, and his pen was vigorous and vigorous, and he succeeded.". At the beginning, if he was not careful, he repeatedly studied and found that no word was nowhere to be found ... The so-called "Li Junfa" is also a poet's syntax (Preface to Zhang Fengya by Tang Heng). Because it is written with passion, it is emotionally coherent, passionate and fluent in language, and can blend the poems of predecessors without revealing traces of carving. Charley said: "Yuhu Ci has a strong sense of rhythm, full syllables, vigorous and elegant, slow meaning and sharp words" (The Legacy of Tonggu Bookstore), which just sums up the basic characteristics of Zhang Xiaoxiang Ci. His intention in writing lyrics is to learn from Su Shi, and many critics think they are very similar. For example, Tang Heng said, "If you go to Qiu Chi (Su Shi) and go his way, who is it?" (Preface to Zhang Ya) Ci inherits Su Shi and is the first of Xin Qiji's patriotic ci school, which occupies a more important position in the history of Ci.

Zhang Xiaoxiang's collected works were published in various ways in the Song Dynasty. There are 40 volumes of Collected Works of the Jushi Yuhu, including 4 volumes of Ci. There are also three volumes, Sixty Famous Song Ci Poems and Yuhu Ci Poems.
