Why were the early Chinese poets concerned with reconstructing the personal concern?

Why were the early Chinese poets concerned with reconstructing the lost note of “personal concern?” During this period, were there significant issues that the poets wanted to address, or were they simply adjusting to the new twist that poetry was taking?

Just read something from this book before page 250 :Watson, Burton. The Columbia Book of Chinese Poetry. New York: Columbia UP, 1984. Print.  And find one question by yourself then explanation it.
