Trial poems originated in the Tang Dynasty, mostly with five words, six rhymes or eight rhymes, and were influenced by Tiejing and Trial Poems. Its title range and rhyme are already relatively broad. Poetry and Fu were not tested in the imperial examinations in Ming Dynasty. In the 22nd year of Qing Qianlong (1757), a poem with five words and eight rhymes was added to the provincial examination and general examination.
This is also an old-fashioned poetic style. Its content cannot express emotions at will, but should be written in strict accordance with the topic, and it must be the content of praising and whitewashing peace. Try to use the word "Fu De" in front of the title of the poem (so it is also called "Fu Yi"), and then take a poem of five or seven words from the ancients to express a word in the poem as rhyme, which means that the rhyme of the word should be limited.
At the same time, the word must also appear in the rhyme of the second or fourth sentence of the poem; The title should also specify the requirements of "five (seven) characters and six rhymes" and "five (seven) characters and eight rhymes"; In poetry, except for the first and second couplets, all the couplets in the middle must be neat and so on. With so many restrictions, the author can only fill in some words praising peace and prosperity according to the format, which makes the trial post poem, like the eight-part essay, not only dull in form, but also extremely boring in content.
