The drastic change from the Ming to the Qing dynasty profoundly affected Gu Zhenli's Ci-poetry creation, which were delicate words at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and gradually changed from expressing the severe pain of losing the country in the early Qing Dynasty to encouraging brothers and nephews to seek an official rank, reflecting the complex and subtle mental journey of female writers in the early Qing Dynasty. In addition, unlike other female writers who mostly follow the tradition of feminine Ci-poems, Gu Zhenli was more closely connected with the early Qing Ci-poetry circles. She was a member of the Liangxi Ci-poet group, and was influenced by the Huajian Caotang group; her refreshing style also echoed the "Jiaxuan Feng" group and Yangxian school, showing the uniqueness of Gu Zhenli忆s mentality and creation as a female Ci poetess.
