Four-character quatrains in Tao Yuanming's ancient poems

According to the number of words in each sentence, quatrains can be divided into five-character quatrains, six-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains. There are many five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains and six-character quatrains. As for the four-character quatrains, they have never appeared in ancient poetry.

As a prolific poet, Tao Yuanming wrote few quatrains, only the following one, which is extracted as follows:

four seasons; all the year round

Tao Yuanming [Wei and Jin Dynasties]

The spring water is full of four rivers, and Xia Yun has many strange peaks.

The autumn moon shines on the ground, and the winter ridge is lonely and loose.

Spring water overflows fields and Shui Ze, and summer clouds are unpredictable, such as the sudden appearance of Qifeng.

The autumn moon is bright, and everything in the moonlight is covered with a layer of blurred colors. In winter, a pine tree on sorghum is full of vitality in the cold.

Jueju originated in Han Dynasty, formed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and flourished in Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were four sentences called "couplets". The so-called "Wen Xin Diao Long Shi Ming" has a rhyme of * *, which makes it redundant. Tang and Song Dynasties were the golden age of China's classical poetry, and quatrains were popular all over the world, and their creation was prosperous. The famous Zhang Jiashi is as beautiful as a group of flowers, which is unprecedented.
