Classical poetry is a genre of poetry, which can be divided into four-character poems, five-character poems and seven-character poems according to the number of words in the poem. Compared with modern poetry, ancient poetry has free meter, does not require antithesis and leveling, and has wide rhyme and unlimited length.
The metrical poems in China's ancient poetry reached its peak in the middle Tang Dynasty (the representative poet was Du Fu). Because its poetic beauty space has been excavated by the great poets in the Tang Dynasty, the metrical poems in China in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties developed into miscellaneous poems, which formed a backlash against the metrical poems, resulting in some rigidity in form and eventually shaped into a systematic form of "Ci". Ci finally developed to the height of "a generation of literature" and made great achievements.

Five-character ancient poetry, ancient poetry genre. Refers to a five-word poem, and the whole poem consists of five words. 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". A five-character poem is a poem with five words in each sentence. As an independent poetic style, it originated in the Western Han Dynasty and matured in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
