[edit] poetically conservative

The article states The Rokujō family :

was the first clan to specialize in attaining power and influence via success in poetry

The article would be stronger if that statement was expanded upon. It would also give needed context to the statements that The Rokujō family (六條家?) was a poetically conservative faction in the Japanese Imperial court, and the Fujiwara Family was poetically liberal.

What did it mean to be poetically liberal or conservative and how was this important to the Japanese Imperial Court? How was this used to garner power and success? Also, is the clan still in existence? Did it's influence and power wane? if so when?
