The evolution of poetry is relatively simple, about 200 words, speed.

1. The pre-Qin poetry collection is represented by The Book of Songs and Songs of the South. Most of The Book of Songs is a northern poetic style, while The Songs of Chu is a work of the Warring States Period. The Huaxia nationality in Chu (the predecessor of the Han nationality) merged with the Baiyue nationality in the south, and the poetic style broke through many restrictions and became more southern.

2. Yuefu poetry was formed in the Han Dynasty. Yuefu poetry is sung with music, which is equivalent to the current lyrics. This kind of Yuefu poetry is called Qu, Ci, Song and Xing. During the Three Kingdoms period, the poetry works represented by Jian 'an literature absorbed the nutrition of Yuefu poetry, which laid the foundation for later modern poetry with more rigorous meter.

3. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the ideological realm of economically developed people was constantly improved, and people's thoughts were relatively loose. Most of the Tang poems are mainly metrical poems and quatrains, and the Song Dynasty is famous for its ci. Poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties is the representative of China's ancient poetry and the Chinese nation.

4. After the Yuan Dynasty, the golden age of ancient poetry ceased to exist, and poetry gradually declined, replaced by music, drama and novels in literature and art ... Among them, Yuan Qu, Yuan Zaju and Ming and Qing novels are representative works.
