What are the similarities and differences between poems and songs?

Poetry: Poetry is one of the basic literary genres. Preface to Poetry says: "The poet is where he wants to be, his heart is where he wants to be, and his words are poetry." The difference between a poem and a song is that a poem focuses on the back and a song focuses on singing. The so-called poem should recite its words, and the song should sing its voice. Poetry is mostly written with emotion. Poetry is one of the most common arts, which falls in every corner of human society like sunshine.

The most essential feature of poetry is lyrical beauty. Whether it is novels, essays, plays or the most beautiful places, the aura of poetry is shining. Therefore, poetry is literature in literature. In the art field, poetry is everywhere. It is the highest embodiment of the universal factors of artistic beauty. The beauty of poetry also appears in the field of non-literature and art from time to time. Exquisite fragments in scientific works even exude wisdom and brilliance in people's life and work.

Poetry is not only poetry, but also lyrical beauty, which is the common quality of all literary styles and artistic types. Therefore, poetry is a universal art, even an art that transcends artistic boundaries.

Song: a poetic style [a poem]. For example, Song of Eternal Sorrow; Gexing (the integration of ancient Yuefu poems); Song Poetry (Yuefu Poetry with Singing Music Score)
