Poetry in the Yuan Dynasty can be ancient style poetry. Ancient style poetry and modern style poetry seem to correspond to ancient and modern times, not just time. Both modern style poetry and ancient style poetry follow the format of a Chinese poem.
Ancient style poetry is the corresponding name after modern style poetry, including five-character, six-character, seven-character, four-character, miscellaneous words, etc., as well as Yuefu poetry.
It even incorporates parallel prose from the Six Dynasties period, such as Li Bai's "Sleepwalking Tian Mu Yin Liu Farewell". His characteristic is that he does not stick to the ordinary, regardless of the opposition, and is a completely civilian poem. The rhyme of ancient poetry is wider.
The formation of modern poetry
The word "modern" refers to the Tang Dynasty, and ancient corresponds to before the Tang Dynasty. Because of the maturity of modern poetry, a large number of poets emerged in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi, etc.
Modern poetry probably took shape in the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, and is also called metrical poetry. Playing the ball against each other and rhyming with the rhymes has a strict poetic rhyme. There are very strict restrictions on the number of words, equivalence, and sentence structure.
However, since the formation of the Tang Dynasty, it has completely become the criterion. The previous Yuefu poetry and ancient style poetry have been marginalized. Modern poetry needs to be of a very high level and be more literati, so as long as you are from the Tang Dynasty, it would be embarrassing to say that you are from the Tang Dynasty if you don't write two poems. Whether it’s a human face with peach blossoms complementing each other or a lonely city in Wanren Mountain.
