Han Fu belongs to prose, while Chu Ci, Tang Ci and Song Ci belong to poetry.
Chuci has some feelings between poetry and prose, each sentence is basically between 7 and 9 words, and a large number of function words are used, the most typical example is the modal particle "Xi";
Han Fu is a style between poetry and prose, which uses parallel prose, verse and question-and-answer style.
The basic forms of Tang poetry are quatrains and metrical poems, including four quatrains and eight metrical poems, which are divided into five words and seven words (that is, five or seven words per sentence);
The sentence patterns of Song Ci are not as uniform as those of Tang Poetry, but they are staggered in length. The difference between words and poems is that they are written in strict accordance with qupai, and the sentence patterns are irregular.
Yuan Qu can be divided into Yuan Sanqu and Yuan Zaju. The former belongs to the category of poetry, but it should be sung with music. Compared with Song Ci, meaningless interlining is widely used. The latter belongs to China traditional opera, which is an art form of stage performance.
