He created the unique "Chengzhai" style in his later years. His poems are picturesque, refreshing and easy to read, as we'll discover soon. The highlight of this work is that Yang anthropomorphizes everything he encounters in nature, from the running water to the tree shade. This makes Yang's poetry more like a fairy tale, because in his novel eyes, water can feel, trees can love, and everything in the world has a soul, just like us.
