Archaic poetry is an ancient Han poetry genre. Generally speaking, it is also called ancient style. Judging from the number of words in the poems, there are so-called four-character poems, five-character poems, and seven-character poems. Four words are one sentence with four characters, five words are one sentence with five words, and seven words are one sentence with seven words. After the Tang Dynasty, four-character poems became rare, so they were usually only divided into five-character and seven-character poems. Five-character ancient poems are referred to as Wugu; seven-character ancient poems are referred to as Qigu, and those using both three, five, and seven characters are generally considered Qigu.
