Creative stage
Poetry in the Han Dynasty developed on the basis of The Book of Songs, Songs of the South and the folk songs of Qin and Han Dynasties, and generally experienced the development process from folk songs to literati's creation, from Yuefu songs to literati's poems, that is, "ancient poems", from four-character poems to five-character poems, from Sao poems to seven-character poems, and from narrative poems to lyric poems.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Yuefu official office was formally established, which enabled the folk songs of the Han Dynasty to be preserved in large quantities and to shine brilliantly in the case that the literati poetry circle of the Han Dynasty was particularly neglected, thus forming the third important development stage in the history of China poetry after The Book of Songs and The Songs of the South.
