According to different words, it can be divided into long tone (9 1 word or more), middle tone (59-90 words) and short tone (58 words or less). Words can be divided into monosyllabic and disyllabic, and disyllabic is divided into two paragraphs, in which the level and number of words are equal or roughly equal, and monosyllabic is only one paragraph. A paragraph of a word is called a que or an article, the first paragraph is called Qianque, Shangque and Shangpian, and the second paragraph is called Houque, Xiaque and Xiapian.

Each group number takes the song of the first song as the name of the whole set of songs, and the whole set of songs must be in the same palace tune. It has no guests, but only oratorios.
2. From the theme of poetry can be divided into:
Lyrics about scenery, lyrics about scenic spots and natural scenery. Because of their dissatisfaction with reality, some ancient poets often attached their feelings to mountains and rivers, and expressed their thoughts and feelings by describing the scenery of rivers and lakes and natural scenery. This kind of poetry often contains the feelings expressed by the scenery described later, which is what people often say. Its style is fresh and natural.
(2) Poetry is expressed by chanting things, in which the poet describes the shape, characteristics, charm and personality of chanting things, so as to entrust the poet's own feelings and express the poet's spirit, quality or ideal.
(3) I feel nostalgic about poetry, because one thing causes the poet's feelings, such as homesickness, homesickness and friends.
(4) Memorizing the past and chanting epic poems, taking historical allusions as the theme, or expressing their opinions, or satirizing the present through the past, or expressing vicissitudes of life.
⑤ Poems describing frontier battles, describing frontier scenery and the military life of frontier soldiers, or expressing optimism and heroism or homesickness, with tragic style and bold brushwork.
According to different standards, poetry has different classifications. Here, the author focuses on the classification based on subject matter. To sum up, there are mainly the following categories:
Write lyrics by borrowing scenery. In poetry, you don't express your feelings directly, but feel the same with things and blend your feelings into the scenery. Express feelings through the description of the scenery. As far as poetry is concerned, there are two forms: creating the situation with emotion and creating the situation with sight.
Ode to history and cherish ancient poems. Climbing high and looking far, reciting historical facts and remembering historical sites can achieve the purpose of feeling the rise and fall, pinning grief and satirizing the present. This kind of poetry uses allusions and euphemisms.
Poems that hurt spring and bid farewell. Through the narrative description of the disappearance of spring scenery, we can express our feelings about fleeting youth and irretrievable ambition, or express our infinite yearning for our sweetheart.
Poetry about travel and service. The prodigal son who left his hometown, what he saw in his eyes, heard in his ears and felt in his heart all contained his yearning for his distant hometown, his yearning for his warm family and his endless yearning for his hometown.
Landscape pastoral poetry. Poets throw delicate brushstrokes into quiet Shan Ye and leisurely fields to create an idyllic life, so as to express their dissatisfaction with reality, their yearning for a quiet and peaceful life and their feelings for independence.
Show your ambition by holding things. Poets do not directly express their thoughts and feelings, but use symbols, enthusiasm and other means to integrate their ideals and personality into something specific.
Poetry about what happened. Refers to a poet expressing his views and feelings about something. This kind of poems are often well-known, unique and full of good sentences.
Frontier poems Poets either paint the frontier scenery with heroic pen and ink, express their ambition and broad mind to serve the country and make contributions, or express their yearning for their sweetheart through fighting, and give bitter satire and euphemistic advice to the rulers who are aggressive and open up the frontier.
On Zen poetry. The poet tells his epiphany or observation of Zen in his works. This kind of poetry often wins with seemingly irrelevant ethereal realm, or spreads through the ages with profound philosophy.
Leisure and seclusion poetry. Some poets are used to the intrigue of officialdom and the turbidity of secular society, so they retreat to the fields and villages, keep company with the villagers and the bright moon, so as to show their bright and clean character. There are often many unique poems reflecting these lives.
Send a farewell poem to a friend. As the most affectionate poet, when facing the parting from his best friend, he will feel a kind of passion in his heart. Therefore, farewell poems have always been the main theme of China poets.
Poems mourning immortals. Poets often have magical imaginations. When their loved ones leave them or their ideals and ambitions have not been realized, they often resort to sleeping and wandering around the immortals, or meeting their sweetheart, or realizing their great ambitions in fairyland.
