The poems that are astonishing at first sight are as follows:
1. Poppy Poppy Listening to the Rain
The young man listens to the rain song upstairs. The red candle dims the tent. A young man listens to the rain and is a guest in the boat. The river is broad and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are calling the west wind. Now I am listening to the rain at the foot of the monk's house. There are stars on the temples. Joys and sorrows are always ruthless. Before the first term, every step until dawn.
2. Fortune teller
I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day without seeing you, and drink water from the Yangtze River every day. When will this water stop, and when will this hatred end? I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and I will live up to my love.
3. A cut of plum blossoms
The fragrance of red lotus root lingers in the jade mat of autumn. He undressed Luo Shang lightly and boarded the orchid boat alone. Who in the clouds sent a brocade book? When the wild goose returned, the moon was full on the west tower. The flowers float and the water flows. One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I just frown, but it is in my heart.
Ancient poetry
Ancient poetry is a poetry style relative to modern poetry. Before the formation of modern poetry, there were various poetry genres. Also known as ancient poetry and ancient style, it has three carriers: "song", "line" and "yin". Four-character poems in ancient style no longer exist in modern poetry. Although the word "ancient" is not added, it goes without saying that it is an ancient style poem.
The ancient poems collected in The Book of Songs are mainly four-character poems. There were still people writing four-character poems in the Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties. Cao Cao's "Guan Cang Hai" and Tao Yuanming's "Standing Clouds" are typical examples of four-character poems. There are many ancient poems in five characters and seven characters, which are referred to as Wu Gu and Qi Gu.
The Five Ancients first emerged in the Han Dynasty. "Nineteen Ancient Poems" are all five-character ancient poems. After the Han Dynasty, many people wrote five-character ancient poems. Most of the poems written in the Southern and Northern Dynasties were in five-character style, and there were also more five-character poems in the ancient poetry of the Tang Dynasty and after. The emergence of the Seven Ancients may be earlier than the Five Ancients. But before the Tang Dynasty, it was not as common as the Five Ancients. In the Tang Dynasty, Qi Gu appeared in large numbers, and people in the Tang Dynasty also called Qi Gu a long sentence.
