Form style
The forms of Tang poetry are diverse. There are mainly two types of ancient poetry in the Tang Dynasty: five-character poems and seven-character poems. There are also two types of modern poetry, one is called quatrains and the other is called rhymed poetry. Quatrains and rhymed poems are different in five words and seven words.
