Five-character ancient poems are referred to as five ancient poems for short; Seven-character ancient poems are referred to as seven ancient poems for short, and those who use three, five and seven characters at the same time are generally considered as seven ancient poems.

Cao Cao's Looking at the Sea and Tao Yuanming's Stopping Clouds are typical four-character poems.
