How to distinguish 1 regular poetry from classical poetry? Syntactically, the number of words in each sentence of classical poetry is different, and the number of sentences in each poem can also be different.

Parallel prose and neck couplets must have the same sentence pattern, relative part of speech, and even. Very neat. In fact, three, four, five and six are two excellent couplets.
