The rules for writing poems are as follows:
There are only four types of five-character poems, and these four types can form two couplets. That is:
廄仄平仄, 平平仄仄平;
平平平任仄, 任仄仄平平.
The intricate changes in these two couplets can form four flat and oblique patterns of the five laws. In fact, there are only two basic formats, and the other two are just slight changes based on the basic format.

The Qilu is an expansion of the Wulu. The way to expand is to add a two-character header to the five-character sentence. Add level to level, add level to level. Let’s take a look at the comparison below:

The seven words are 廄 rises and ends, 廄廄平平廄廄.
(4) Pingpingjiao

Therefore, there are only four types of Ping and Qi in Qilu, and these four types can also form two couplets, namely:
Ping Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping and Ping.
廄廄平平廄仄, 平平任仄仄平平.
The intricate changes in these two couplets can be changed into four formats of Qilu. In fact, there are only two basic formats, and the other two are just slight changes based on the basic format.
