How many ancient poems are there in the world?

There are too many to count. Just a few examples:

The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems and the beginning of China's ancient poems. Collected poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (pre-1 1 century to the 6th century), with a total of * * * 31/,among which 6 poems are full, that is, there are only titles but no contents, which is called full poems.

There are about 55,000 existing Tang poems, among which "Complete Tang Poems" contains 49,000 poems by more than 2,200 authors, with 900 volumes, with a single catalogue 12 volumes. The rest are recorded in The Whole Tang Poetry and The Supplement to the Whole Tang Poetry.

On the other hand, there are 4,000 volumes of all Song poems, divided into 60 volumes, including more than 220,000 Song poems. Author 1 10000 people. The number of volumes and the number of words are about five times that of the whole Tang poetry. In fact, I don't think it's too much to pass it down, it's not very important. Once I spent a week in the library, browsing the complete works of Tang poetry, and found that there were not many really excellent works in it, or that excellent works had long been selected from the anthologies of past dynasties.

Lu You has been writing poems for more than 60 years, with more than 9,300 poems, calling himself "10,000 poems in 60 years".

According to legend, Yang Wanli, a great master, wrote 20,000 poems and saved more than 4,000 poems.

Qianlong wrote 43,630 poems in his life.
