According to the number of words in a poem, ancient poems can be divided into four-character poems, five-character poems, seven-character poems and miscellaneous poems. Four words are four words, five words are five words and seven words are seven words. Classical poetry is free in meter, does not require antithesis and leveling, rhymes freely, and is not limited in length. There are four words, five words, six words, seven words and miscellaneous words in the sentence, which are also called ancient Chinese poetry.
Classical poetry can not only rhyme, but also rhyme. In phonology, we should also distinguish between upper phonology, lower phonology and upper phonology. The rhyme of ancient poetry is slightly wider than that of metrical poetry.
After the Tang dynasty, it was called modern poetry, so it was usually divided into five words and seven words. Five-character ancient poems are referred to as five ancient poems for short; Seven-character ancient poems are referred to as seven ancient poems for short, and those who use three, five and seven characters at the same time are generally considered as seven ancient poems. Modern poetry, also known as modern poetry and metrical poetry, is a genre that pays attention to metrical, antithesis and rhyme in Chinese poetry. In order to distinguish it from classical poetry, it has the name of modern style.
Refers to another poetry genre formed after the early Tang Dynasty. Modern poetry has strict requirements on the number, number of words and rhyme of sentences, and pays attention to levels and levels. Famous representative poets are: Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Lu You, etc. It occupies an important position in the history of China's poetry development and has made outstanding contributions to the study of history and culture.
Yuefu came into being in the Han Dynasty and was originally accompanied by music, so it was called Yuefu or Yuefu Poetry. This kind of Yuefu poetry is called Qu, Ci, Song and Xing. After the Tang Dynasty, the ancient poems written by literati imitating this style were also called "Yuefu", but they were no longer named as such.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the gradual formation of new music, the lyrics of new music appeared, called "Ci". Ci probably originated in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The transitional period after the decline of Yuefu and before the appearance of Ci. The lyrics of new music are modern poems, such as Cheng Wei Qu by Wang Wei and Qing Ping Diao by Li Bai.
