International influence
China's poetry literally means China's poetry. But this concept is mainly used outside the Chinese world. Some neighboring countries of China, such as Korea, Japan and Vietnam, are naturally deeply influenced by Chinese poetry because they use Chinese characters as written language. With the spread of Zen in these countries, China's poetry has become the most important form of Zen literature.
The expansion of ancient poetry information in Han Dynasty
Yuefu poetry was formed in the Han Dynasty. Yuefu poetry is sung to match the music, which is equivalent to the lyrics of modern society. This kind of Yuefu poetry is called Qu, Ci, Song and Xing. During the Three Kingdoms period, the poetry works represented by Jian 'an literature absorbed the nutrition of Yuefu poetry, which laid the foundation for later modern poetry with more rigorous meter.
Modern poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties
In the Tang Dynasty, four quatrains and eight metrical poems appeared in China's poems. Rhyme and rhyme are balanced, and the balance and antithesis of each sentence are regular. The quatrains are a little looser.
In addition, the words that reached their peak in the Song Dynasty are also an important form of poetry. The format of words should follow some fixed aphorisms, so as to sing with music.
