Abstract
Deng Tingzhen was not only a representative national hero but also an important figure in the history of Chinese ci-poetry. His philosophy of literary writing can be best summarized in his own words "I write in my own way", which was actually inheriting the late literary style of "changed elegance." He admired Su Shi for his plain diction and themes of the contemporary social political issues, and he especially stressed personal aspiration reflected in his writing, which had a unique value for both history and literature. Therefore, studies on Deng Tingzhen's ideas on poetry and his practice may help us to better understand not only his poetic achievement and his spiritual world but also the general features of the ci-poetry at that time.
