梁启超的《饮冰室诗话》借助评诗与采诗对维新派之“诗界革命”进行了总结。“以旧风格含新意境”是关于“诗界革命”涵义的最简明最准确的概括。它具体指诗应以古典诗歌的体式，含蓄蕴藉的风格，并与音乐性相结合，来表现西方资产阶级的新思想新精神以及爱国主义思想感情。“诗界革命”于扭转复古、形式主义诗风具有一定作用。但它只是改良而非革命。 Liang Qi-chao’s “drinking ice room poem” summarizes the “poetic world revolution” of reformers with the help of poem and poetic poetry. “Old style with new mood” is the most concise and accurate summary of the meaning of “revolution in poetry.” It specifically refers to the poem should be the style of classical poetry, subtle implicit style, and music combined with the performance of the new spirit of the Western bourgeoisie and patriotism and sentiments. The “revolution in poetry” plays a role in reversing the retro style of formalism. But it is only improvement rather than revolution.
