Huang Zunxian, as a diplomatic envoy, has made great achievements in creating extraterritorial landscape poems. Through describing scenic spots and customs in foreign countries, Huang expresses his concern of current affairs and longing for democracy, and reveals his global vision and ideas of exploration and reform in his poems. His poem forms a grand and graceful style by both inheriting the tradition and blazing new trails, and his language is elegant and the image vivid in the description of various scenes and people.
