First, the production time.
Yuefu poetry first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and originated from the so-called Yuefu music institution in the Han Dynasty. Besides writing and producing poems praising literati and playing new songs and dances, it also collects folk songs and lyrics for entertainment. Following the Book of Songs and Songs of the South, a new poetic style, Yuefu, appeared in the literary history of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. It was once brilliant and became an organic part of the excellent cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.
Ancient poetry first appeared in the pre-Qin period until the end of the Tang Dynasty.
Second, the theme is different.
Han Yuefu folk songs are rich in content, reflecting the broad social life at that time, vigorous and fresh in art, and have realistic themes reflecting the suffering of corvee, the pain of war, poverty and people's working life.
However, ancient poems are not rigid about themes, such as reflecting social reality, praising love and expressing ambitions.
Third, there are different forms of expression.
All Yuefu poems are sung and can be accompanied by songs and dances. However, there is no such form of expression in ancient poetry, and only some ancient poetry with the theme of "song" can be sung.
Fourth, the requirements are different.
Yuefu poetry has no strict requirements on the rhyme of the poem itself, while classical poetry has strict requirements on the rhyme, which is slightly wider than metrical poetry; You can use one rhyme alone, or two or more rhymes together. However, the so-called transgene is not arbitrary; It must be adjacent rhymes to be universal.
