Classical poetry is divided into 1, five-character ancient poetry 2 and seven-character ancient poetry. There are five words in each sentence of five-character ancient poetry, and there is no limit to the number of words in the whole poem. Seven-character ancient poetry has seven words in each sentence, and there is no limit to the number of words in the whole poem. In addition, there is a kind of miscellaneous poem, which is composed of five words, seven words or even three words, four words, six words, eight words and nine words, and is generally classified as seven-word ancient poetry. Classical poetry is also called archaism.

Modern poetry is a new style of poetry in the Tang Dynasty, which is quite different from ancient poetry in terms of words, rhyme, tone and antithesis. When we say meter, we mainly mean the meter of modern poetry. Metric poetry is a style of poetry, which requires strict writing in accordance with the rules. It originated from "Yongming Style" and flourished in the Tang Dynasty, becoming the soul treasure of China's poetry culture.
