Metric poems have prescribed format paragraphs, such as the first and second chapters or one, two, three and four chapters; Rhyme is divided into four parts. Ancient customs such as Yuefu poems, ballads and long rhymes, regardless of length, have no paragraphs. Later generations may be divided into several sections according to the content when editing and publishing, such as Peacock Flying Southeast, and some books will be divided into several sections to facilitate reading and understanding.
