The rabbit dances and the stars shine in the cold palace.
Homesick, the moon shines on the way home,
Raise a glass and laugh together.
Seven-character poem is the name of a poetic style. The whole poem has seven words in each sentence or seven main words. Folk songs originated in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. However, there are few seven-character poems between Han and Wei Dynasties, which gradually developed from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, and it didn't really develop until the Tang Dynasty, becoming another major form of China's classical poetry.
Extended data:
According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once called his ministers together and made a seven-character couplet of Bailiangtai. But according to later research, this is an untrue statement and unreliable. Ge Yanxing by Wei is China's first complete seven-character poem of literati. Later, Tang Huixiu and Bao Zhao had seven-character works.
Bao Zhao's 18 "Zhun Qi Difficult to Walk" not only greatly expanded the content of the poem, but also changed the rhyme of the original seven-character poem into the rhyme of every other sentence and can be changed, which opened up a new way for the development of the seven-character style.
Seven-character poems gradually increased from Liang to Sui, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that seven-character poems really developed. The appearance of seven-character poems provides a new and bigger form for poetry and enriches the artistic expression of China's classical poems.
