His masterpiece, Poems of the Human Environment, of which eight productive works are excerpted directly from the poetry centered on the First Sino-Japanese War of the mid 1890s. They are entitled respectively as Mourning for Pyeongyang, Troop of Eastern Ditch, Condoling for Lushun, Moaning for Weihai, Epic of Surrendered General, Epic of Defeated Liao General, Chronicle of Shimonoseki as well as Tour of Taiwan. Quoted by Yang's Rungyuan Sequel, in Chian's work of Annotated Poems of the Human Environment he acclaims literary pieces like Tour of Taiwan are composed ahead with titles followed by textual insertions, which explains why Kang pinpoints plentiful poetry thrived along with the territorial cession. Moreover, Chian even proposes, "The original text by Huang lacks those poems, which are allegedly added later than his infamous resignation in 1898." Why does Huang intend to adopt these poems and whether they impose ironies against the ruling party? If ironical criticism indeed exists, in which way do they present and what is the purpose for? This essay is to discourse through three domains of ironical poetryuse perspective, Huang's ironical criticism of the First Sino-Japanese War poetry, and the purpose of ironical criticism.
