What does allegorical poetry mean?

Allegory poetry refers to a form of poetry that aims at expressing philosophy and enlightening thoughts, and expresses meaning through story plots and characters. It not only has the artistry of poetry, but also pays attention to conveying moral education and social value. The main feature of fable poetry is that it integrates narrative, lyrical and argumentative functions, and can convey the poet's thinking and understanding of life, emotion and morality through wonderful storylines and characters.

The origin of fable poetry can be traced back to ancient Greece, and the poet Aesop created a series of fable stories. In ancient China, fable poetry was also an important literary form. Shi Shuo, a poet in Tang Dynasty, and Monkey and Pig Wars, a poet in Yuan Dynasty, by Zheng Sixiao, are both representatives of fable poetry.

Allegory poetry makes the truth easier to understand through stories and characters, so that people can not only feel the beauty of poetry, but also understand its profound meaning in reading. It has inspired and guided people's lives, and also promoted the cultivation of social morality and personal accomplishment.
