1, Narrative Poetry: There are relatively complete story lines and characters in the poem, which are usually expressed by the poet's passionate singing. Epic, story poem and poetic novel all belong to this category.
2. Lyrics: It mainly reflects the social life by directly expressing the poet's thoughts and feelings, and does not require complete stories and characters. There are love songs, carols, elegies, elegies, pastoral poems and satirical poems.
Of course, narration and lyricism are not absolutely separated. Narrative poetry is also lyrical, but its lyricism requires close combination with narrative. Lyric poems often describe some fragments of life, but they can't be spread out, and they must obey the needs of lyricism.
