Quatrains, also called truncated sentences, broken sentences and quatrains, are short and pithy. It is a popular genre of Chinese poetry in the Tang Dynasty and belongs to a form of modern poetry. The word quatrains first appeared in the Qi and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. There are four five-character and four-sentence poems in Chen's Poem on Yutai. I don't know the author's name, and the topic is "Ancient Jueju". At this time, quatrains refer to small poems with five words, four sentences and two rhymes, and do not require balance and harmony. Jue means "cut off", and the ancients used four poems with four quatrains to complete an ideological concept. There are two types of quatrains: quatrains and archaic styles. Rhythm only needs to be refined after the rise of rhythmic poetry. Ancient times existed long before the appearance of metrical poems.
Picking Wei is from The Book of Songs Xiaoya Luming Literature, which is a poem of China in the pre-Qin period. This poem consists of six chapters, each with eight sentences. This is a poem about a soldier coming home. Poetry shows the homesickness and bitterness of people who will join the army, which is expressed in the description of scenery and military life.
As mentioned above, we can know that the format of The Book of Songs is not in line with the quatrain of "four sentences and one poem, short and pithy", so The Book of Songs is not a quatrain.
