Also “spontaneity and distinctiveness.” Biaoju (标举) originally meant “to mark out or stand out.” It later extended to mean “superior, unique, distinctive, and outstanding.” Hui (会) means “to get together.” Xinghui (兴会) refers to one’s passionate creative state and rich perceptions sparked by an object, and keen, naturally-inspired interest and charm in literary creation. The term, as a whole, indicates distinctive, spontaneous perceptions and emotions in literary creation, and intense interest and charm possessed by literary work. It is both a term of literary criticism and a concept of literary creation. Opposing false sentimentality, the term holds in esteem spontaneity, writers' talents and enthusiasm, and emphasizes free imagination based on intuition and free creation in a state of bursting inspirations.

The spontaneity and distinctiveness of Xie Lingyun's poems as well as the closely-knitted structure and lucidity of Yan Yanzhi's poems, which both draw inspiration from poets before them, have stimulated poets of later time. (The History of Song of the Southern Dynasties)

A poem with spontaneity and distinctiveness will automatically blend one’s sentiments and the natural setting. (Wang Fuzhi: A Selection of Ming Poetry with Commentary)

A careful examination shows that a poet, when inspired, creates excellent works without knowing it. Such poems will thus become a model for future generations to emulate. …When the poet’s inner feelings interact with the external world, he naturally has the urge to express them. That is what poetry writing is all about. (Ye Xie: Studies on the Purpose of Poetic Writing)
