What's the difference between China's ancient poems and those of western countries?

Poetic quatrains that appeared after the Tang Dynasty in China pay attention to meter, such as the number of sentences, the number of words, the level of words, rhyme and so on. The rules are strict. China's poems are subtle, concise and pay attention to artistic conception. Foreign poetry is not as exquisite as China's classical poetry, but more free and unrestrained. There is not much difference between China's modern poetry (free verse) and foreign poetry.

China's poetry pays attention to implication, taking lightness as beauty, while British and American poetry is more unrestrained and wins with emotional agitation. China's classical poems are concise, with implicit artistic conception and the unity of poetry and painting.

China's poems are good at describing scenery, expressing emotions, setting off the atmosphere or creating artistic conception, while British and American poems focus on describing the reaction caused by scenery in people's minds, thus expressing their subjective consciousness. This is the difference caused by their different thinking modes. China people pay attention to expression, while westerners pay attention to reproduction. The theory of poetry literature developed under the command of this way of thinking is naturally quite different from poetry creation. China as the representative of the East formed the theory of artistic conception and the theory of enlightenment, while the West formed the theory of typicality.
