Abstract Understanding the Jiang Hu Poets and their creations from the social level，this paper finds out that an autonomous poetry field is forming in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Poetry is still the most important literary style，although the poet is marginalized in the power structure owing to the reform of the imperial examination system. A certain social space then is formed in which some people have the identity of a poet, making a living by poetry，which shows that the field of poetry is relatively independent. The emphasis is put on literary writing’s value and principles，not political mainstream thought. The pure literature natue and common trend of poetry writing is one of the characteristics of modern literature.
