It is divided into ancient poetry and modern poetry
Ancient poetry: The so-called ancient poetry refers to the poetry form with less metrical restrictions formed before the Tang Dynasty, including four-character style, five-character style, and six-character style. Yan style and heptagram style, etc., generally rhyme, do not pay attention to level and oblique, and the number of sentences is not limited. The development trajectory of ancient poetry: "The Book of Songs" → Chu Ci → Han Fu → Han Yuefu → Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasty folk songs → Jian'an poetry → Tao Shi and other literati five-character poems → the ancient style and new Yuefu of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, "Guan Cang Hai" written by Cao Cao is one of the classics. Modern style poetry: Modern style poetry is a new poetry style that emerged in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. There are two types of poetry: quatrains and rhythmic poetry. Rhymed poetry is usually 8 lines in length (more than 8 lines are called regular verses or long verses). Rhymed poetry is divided into first couplets, jaw couplets, neck couplets and tail couplets. There are 4 quatrains. According to the number of words in each sentence, it can be divided into Wulu, Qilu, Wujue and Qijue. It pays attention to the rhythm and level, and rhythm poetry also pays attention to the counterpoint. Except for exclusions, the number of sentences is limited. Neat structure, attention to rhyme, and regular rhythm are the biggest characteristics of modern poetry.
Therefore, Yuefu poetry, metrical poetry, lyrics, music, and fu should all be counted
