It is worth mentioning that Empress Yang was one of the only four female poetry writers of the Song Dynasty whose works have survived, which makes her works even more valuable. Formatted mainly in the style of Qi Jue (七绝), Yang's Gong Ci poems depict the rich beauty of the imperial court, focusing on the elaborate lives of court figures of the emperor as well as courtesans and ministers of the inner court and celebrate the peace and stability of the Southern Song Dynasty perceived from her standpoint as an Empress. Similar to her poetic inscriptions, Empress Yang also regularly utilized the metaphor of flowers or other natural subjects as a metaphor for celebrating people or general characteristics of the royal family. For example, in the thirteenth entry of her Gong Ci, the description of lotus flowers in bloom is in fact an allegory for the lively peace of imperial court: 306:, Zhang Shansheng (d. 1170), who was at one point employed in the palace, and became an actress in service of the Empress Dowager Wu. Historical accounts indicate that Zhang Shansheng left the palace, but eventually returned after learning that her daughter would become a famous politician through a vision. Zhang Shansheng then returned to the palace as a court musician, rising through the ranks due to her musical abilities. Empress Wu called for Madame Zhang sometime after her arrival, only to find that Madame Zhang had, by that point, passed away.

It is highly possible that she has appropriated Ningzong's hand to send out imperial "consents" for Han Tuozhou, her political rival, to be expelled from the imperial precincts and be assassinated. Ghostwriting was also used extensively by rulers in and around the Song dynasty as a way of delegation of imperial responsibility, but was sometimes cast in bad light because of its inclusion of the lower classes as ghostwriters. Empress Yang was among those who employed ghostwriters on occasion for her own political endeavors. 874:
