What is the difference between rhymed poetry and quatrains? What are their characteristics?

Rhymed poetry is a type of modern Chinese poetry with very strict metrical requirements. There are three common types: Five Rhythm, Seven Rhythm and Pai Rhythm.

The rhythm of rhythmic poetry is very strict. There are strict regulations on the number of sentences, the number of words, rhyme, rhythm, and opposition:?

1. Each poem is limited to eight sentences: the five rules stipulate that each poem Each sentence has five characters, and the whole sentence has 40 characters. The Qilu stipulates that each sentence has seven characters, and the whole sentence has 56 characters. ?2. Limit the use of plain rhyme, and one rhyme to the end, and no rhyme changes are allowed in the middle. For the five-rhythm, the first sentence that does not fall into rhyme is a regular example, and if it does, it is a variant; for the seven-rhythm, the first sentence that does not rhyme is a regular example, and the first sentence that does not rhyme is a variant. ?

3. There are regulations on the sentence structure and word order of each sentence: pay attention to adhesion and pairing. ?

4. The two middle couplets of each poem must use duality. This is an important feature of rhythmic poetry. It's up to you to use the other two combinations or not.
