Why can five-character poems be expressed in three-character poems? A: Five-character poetry is one of the genres of ancient poetry. Refers to a five-word poem, and the whole poem consists of five words. Five-character poems are formed by absorbing folk songs. Five-character poems can accommodate more words, thus expanding the capacity of poems and expressing feelings and narratives more flexibly and meticulously. In terms of syllables, even-odd matching is more musical. Therefore, it is more suitable for the social life developed after the Han Dynasty, thus gradually replacing the orthodox position of four-character poetry and becoming one of the main forms of classical poetry. Modern poetry appeared after the early Tang Dynasty, including five-character poems and five-character quatrains. The five-character poems before the Tang Dynasty are generally called "five-character ancient poems" or "five-character poems".

Three-character poem, one of the old poetic styles. With three words as the sentence, hence the name. On the basis of discussing "prosodic word formation" and "pause at the end of a sentence", this paper analyzes the sentence pattern and rhythm characteristics of three sentences related to their essential attributes. It can be seen that as a super-prosodic word, a three-sentence sentence has the characteristics of asymmetry of two rhythm units, possible separation of functional rhythm and phonetic rhythm, and pause at the end of the sentence, which determines that a three-sentence even sentence and a long sentence with five or seven words have different sentence characteristics. It embodies the combination with other sentence patterns and the combined use of the three sentence styles themselves. Three-character sentences are equivalent to the three-character endings of five-character sentences and seven-character sentences, which can be traced back to the important influence of three-character sentences on the formation of the rhythm of seven-character sentences. The formation of the rhythm of two or three readings of five-character sentences is also closely related to the language rhythm of folk ballads.
