Populace not only refers to the common people with little education, but also those educated who do not want to become intellectual
aristocrats, willing only to pay more attention to secular life. Populace's literature is more refined than mass culture, but less refined than aristocrats' literature. Dayou poetry, this special style, has enjoyed a long
popular history. It is traditional Chinese poetry that has been popularized and untraditional Chinese poetry that has been refined with the
secular character. This character is shown in two ways: what to write and how. It uses the language and style loved by the mass as well as the nobles. It pays direct attention to the secular life and secular emotion. It reveals the living condition of the common people. It neither is the mass' popular poetry and the noble's refined poetry. It is the populace's poetry, which also serves as a necessary complement for the traditional poetry and folk poetry. With its satire, this form is always stable, regardless to the changes of time. As a result, this kind of poetry is either loved by the cultured people living among the mass or liked by some common people who want to pose as a lover of culture.
