Seven-character verse is a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. Shen Yue's new-style poems originated from Qi Yongming in the Southern Dynasties, paying attention to rhythm and duality. They were further developed and stereotyped by Shen Quanqi and Song in the early Tang Dynasty and matured by Du Fu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Seven-character metrical poetry refers to seven-character and eight-sentence poetry, which conforms to the norms of metrical poetry. Referred to as "Seven Rhymes", it is a kind of metrical poem. Metric poetry belongs to the category of modern poetry, which is named because of its rigorous meter.
Cultural development:
The rise of seven-character poems is later than that of five-character poems. It originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, sprouted in the new style poems of Qi and Liang Dynasties, and was shaped between the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Shen Quanqi, Song, Du, Li Qiao and others began to write articles. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei, Li Qi, Cen Can and Jia Zhi all made efforts to master the system, while Cui Hao and Li Bai still had mixed, semi-ancient and semi-French works.
In fact, although there are some masterpieces of Gao Hua Xiulang in the seven-character poems of this period, most of them belong to the content of giving and receiving, which is narrower than the five-character poems. At the same time, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, most of the seven laws of poets such as Li Bai, Wang Wei and Gao Shi were wrong, sticky and emphasized.
