China's poems are classified according to time.

As a novice, I am interested in my own content, so according to my understanding, I will answer your questions in three parts: the general situation of poetry development, the basic concepts of poetry and the specific historical process ~

I don't know if it will satisfy you, I hope it will help you ~

First, an overview of the development of China's poetry:

1 pre-Qin: rhyme-the book of songs; The Songs of Chu

Non-verse prose

2 Han dynasty: verse-Han fu (ancient fu, great fu); Classical poetry (literati); Yuefu (folk)

Non-verse prose

3 Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties: Rhyme and Parallel Prose (Fu Xiao)

Non-verse parallel prose

4 Sui and Tang Dynasties: Rhyme-Modern Poetry

5 Song Dynasty: Rhyme-Ci

Non-verse ancient prose

6 yuan: Rhyme.

7 Ming and Qing Dynasties: Non-verse-Eight-part essay

8 Modern Times: verse-new poetry; Modern lyrics

Non-verse vernacular

Second, the basic concepts of China's poetry:

1 The Book of Songs and Chuci

The Book of Songs and Songs of the South are the earliest collections of China's two poems. They were all written in the pre-Qin period and later collected, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations. Therefore, there are also sayings of the Book of Songs and the Songs of the South (Sao).

In contrast, The Book of Songs abides by the standard of form, while Chu Ci is less restrained. In terms of skills, The Book of Songs tends to show scenes, express tactfully and describe vividly. And Chu Ci is relatively rich in imagination and free in thought, and often expresses strong feelings directly. The author of The Book of Songs is almost impossible to research. According to the content of music, it can be divided into three types: wind, elegance and ode. The common creative techniques are Fu, Bi and Xing. The famous authors of Chu Ci are Qu Yuan and Song Yu.

The masterpiece of The Book of Songs is a national style, and the masterpiece of Songs of the South is Li Sao, so later generations often call all poems Sao.

2 Yuefu poems

Yuefu poetry prevailed in the Han Dynasty, and after three kingdoms and two Jin Dynasties, it still developed greatly in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Yuefu is characterized by music, so the Yuefu poems handed down now are actually original words, and the style is more based on the needs of music. The more famous Yuefu poems include Mulan Ci, Peacock Flying Southeast, Mulberry on the Stranger, Evil on the Stranger and so on. Until after the Tang Dynasty, there were still many poets who wrote Yuefu songs, such as Guan Shanyue by Li Bai and Song of the Frontier by Wang Changling.

However, with the gradual loss of ancient music scores, the ancient Yuefu gradually lost its influence, but the practice of matching songs with words was still widely circulated and became the word of later generations. Due to the influence of Yuefu, later generations sometimes refer to Ci as Yuefu. For example, Su Shi's famous ci collection is called Dongpo Yuefu.

Three words

The appearance of ci is closely related to Yuefu. With the gradual loss of the latter music, Ci gradually replaced Yuefu as the mainstream poetry.

The difference between them is that Yuefu is much earlier than Ci. Secondly, the names of Yuefu music and stele are different; Thirdly, many aphorisms appeared in the early days to match the original poems, which was contrary to the fact that Yuefu had songs before words.

The similarity between the two is that they are both written for music, so they must conform to the format and characteristics of the selected music, and the author cannot change or create new Yuefu or epigraph at will.

4-character

Fu inherited Chu Ci, which was the most popular in Han Dynasty.

The biggest difference between poetry and poetry is that it is not concise, and there is no limit to the number of words and length. Fu's rhetoric is gorgeous and his description is luxurious, which requires extremely high literary accomplishment of the author and readers. Moreover, Fu pays great attention to the details of rhyme, and even in the Tang Dynasty, the so-called Rhyme Fu appeared briefly. It is precisely because of its emphasis on format that, like parallel prose, it was opposed by the ancient prose movement in the Tang and Song Dynasties and gradually lost its influence. There is also a part of Fu that absorbs the characteristics of prose, which is called Wen Fu. Although the rhyming and antithesis methods of ancient fu and Nuo fu are still used, the format is relatively loose and there are fewer restrictions on the author.

5 ancient poetry

Classical poetry originally refers to non-musical poetry before the Tang Dynasty, which, in contrast to modern poetry, together with Yuefu poetry, constitutes three categories of China ancient poetry in a narrow sense.

After the formation of modern poetry, there are still quite a few poets who like to create in ancient style. These poems are also called archaic poems or archaic poems, which are different from modern poems that obey metrical rules.

6 modern poetry

Modern poetry is a style of poetry that appeared in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and matured in the Tang Dynasty.

Its characteristic is to pay attention to meter, that is, to standardize poetry includes four factors: word number, level tone, rhyme and antithesis. Only five types of modern poems are allowed, namely, five-sentence poems, seven-sentence poems, five-rhyme poems, seven-rhyme poems and arranged poems.

The development of modern poetry began in the Southern Dynasties. During the Liu and Song Dynasties, Bao Zhao, Yan Yanzhi, Xie Lingyun and others tried to adjust the level tone and highlight the rhythm, which was for the sake of "Yuanjia style". In the era of Xiao Qi, the rules became stricter, with Shen Yue, Xie Tiao, Ren Fang and other "Eight Friends of Jingling" as the representatives, known as "Yongming Style". Until the early Tang Dynasty, the form of modern poetry was basically realized.

Judging from the works such as Shi Ge circulating today, there is still a gap between the meter of the early Tang Dynasty and the cognition of later generations, and there are many attempts to adjust the meter, which has not yet been finalized. By Shen Quan and Song Dynasty, the rhyme and meter were complete. Shen Quanqi is good at seven laws, and Song is good at five laws. Later, the discussion on rhyming, leveling and antithesis gradually became consistent. In the early Tang dynasty, the style of writing was beautiful, and there was still a legacy of the Six Dynasties. Chen Ziang and Zhang Jiuling became popular gradually, which laid the poetic style in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In the early Tang Dynasty, both meter and style gradually formed a new style, and entered the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which became the golden age of China's classical poetry. The so-called golden age is specifically from the formal aesthetic feeling and lyrical style, which is also the characteristic of many commentators on Tang poetry. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, frontier fortress, pastoral poetry and other styles and themes were extremely prosperous, and Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were the representatives of pastoral poetry style. Cen Can, Gao Shi, Wang Zhihuan and others are good at frontier fortress themes.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the poet Li Bai and the poet Du Fu.

7 parallel prose

Parallel prose is another kind of poetic style. At first, it mainly emphasized duality. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it absorbed the characteristics of Han Fu and began to pay more attention to rhyme. The style becomes more and more introverted, and often becomes a work with only good appearance and no substantive content. After the ancient prose movement, it gradually lost its influence.

8 songs

Yuanqu is the latest form of ancient poetry.

Although there are still some elements such as rhyme and music, the achievements of Yuan Zaju are far more than Sanqu. In fact, it has developed into practical functions such as telling independent stories, and gradually separated from the category of verse. Yuanqu had a far-reaching influence on novels in Ming and Qing Dynasties and various schools of Quyi opera.

Third, the historical process of China's poetry:

Early Poetry: Many ethnic groups of human beings have produced poetic forms suitable for their own language in the development of language.

1 The earliest collection of poems in China is The Book of Songs, in which the earliest poems were written in the early Western Zhou Dynasty and the latest works were written in the mid-Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Warring States Period, the languages of Huaxia and Baiyue nationalities in southern Chu gradually merged, and its poetry collection "Songs of Chu" broke through some formal restrictions in the Book of Songs and better reflected the characteristics of southern languages.

3 Ancient poems in Han Dynasty

Yuefu poetry was formed in the Han Dynasty. Yuefu poetry is sung with music, which is equivalent to the current lyrics. This kind of Yuefu poetry is called Qu, Ci, Song and Xing. During the Three Kingdoms period, the poetry works represented by Jian 'an literature absorbed the nutrition of Yuefu poetry, which laid the foundation for later modern poetry with more rigorous meter.

4 Modern Poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties

In the Tang Dynasty, four quatrains and eight metrical poems appeared in China's poems. Rhyme and rhyme are balanced, and the balance and antithesis of each sentence are regular. The quatrains are a little looser.

In addition, the words that reached their peak in the Song Dynasty are also an important form of poetry. The format of words should follow some fixed aphorisms, so as to sing with music.

5 later development

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the golden age of China's poetry has gradually passed, and his literary creation has gradually turned to drama, novels and other forms.
