Ancient prose contains 222 articles from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, with a total volume of 12. The selected ancient prose is mainly prose, with both rhyme and parallel prose. Zuo Zhuan in the pre-Qin period was selected the most, and Historical Records in the Han Dynasty and articles by Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi in the Tang and Song Dynasties were selected the most.
Stylistically, there are thirteen selected rhymes in the book Guanzhi of Ancient Chinese Literature, such as Supplementary Sentences of Chu Ci, Return to Ci by Tao Yuanming, and Fu of Tu Mu's Epang Palace. These works are "extremely beautiful and extremely poor" and are characterized by description. Although rhyme is used in description, it is different from poetry and is often combined with rhyme to strengthen feelings. Prose means taking notes, telling fables and so on.
