"Yuefu" was originally the name of the organization in charge of music. It was first established during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. There were also Yuefu organizations in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Its specific tasks are to produce musical scores, collect lyrics and train musical talents. There are two sources of lyrics: some are specially written by literati, and some are collected from folk. Later, people called the poems collected by Yuefu agencies Yuefu, or Yuefu poems and Yuefu lyrics, so the name of Yuefu changed from the official name to the name of the poetic style.
