Is there a difference between ancient poetry and classical poetry? Why do ancient poems also include modern poems?

Classical poetry refers to the forms of poetry formed before the Tang Dynasty, which are less restricted by metrical rules, including four-character style, five-character style, six-character style and seven-character style. Generally speaking, they rhyme without paying attention to even words and sentences.

Modern poetry is a new form of poetry that appeared in Sui and Tang Dynasties. There are two kinds of poems: quatrains and metrical poems. Metric poems are usually eight sentences (more than eight sentences are called parallel poems or long poems), which are divided into first couplet, parallel couplet, neck couplet and tail couplet. The quatrains are four sentences. According to the number of words in each sentence, it can be divided into five laws, seven laws, five sections and seven sections. It pays attention to the level of rhythm, rhyme and antithesis. Except for arrangement, the number of sentences is limited. The most striking feature of modern poetry is its neat structure, exquisite rhyme, and even and neat style.

Ancient poetry includes poems, ci poems and songs, but the genre of ancient poetry is nothing more than ancient poetry and modern poetry.

In short, ancient poetry includes ancient poetry and modern poetry.
