Why is the author of Altair unknown?

Due to the long history, especially in the form of literati five-character poems, the path between prose and fu was not very clear in the early stage of poetry formation. That is to say, before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were no special "poets", and most of the works of literati were mainly fu. Poetry, just a form of folk songs, gradually rises to the rhyming short sentences of literati, which is to strengthen the expression and output of emotions on the basis of prose. This is a process in which poetry gradually moves towards literariness, individualization and upper level. In this process, because poetry originated from the people, the author's signature was not taken seriously. This is why, for a long time, China literati ignored copyright and created unique rhetorical devices such as allusions and adaptations-China people's cultural concept is to copy articles from all over the world. With the gradual formation of cultural rhetoric style and the gradual clarification of schools, there will be schools of contention and plagiarism.
