Used in China ancient poetry.

The "wind" in The Book of Songs refers to the "national wind", and the "Sao" in The Songs of the South refers to "Li Sao", which are the representatives of realism and romanticism respectively.

The national style is a part of the Book of Songs. Generally speaking, it is the folk poems of the Chinese people in various vassal States from the early Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period. The national style is the essence of The Book of Songs, and it is a bright pearl in the treasure house of China's national literature and art. The folk songs of the Zhou Dynasty with national style reflect the real life of the working people in China with colorful pictures, and express their unfair treatment and their belief in striving for a better life in the case of exploitation and oppression, which is the source of China's realistic poems.

Extended data

Compared with Qu Yuan's previous poetry forms, Sao-style poetry mainly has the following characteristics:

First, the breakthrough of sentence patterns.

The sentence patterns of Qu Yuan's previous poems are basically four-character cases. This sentence pattern is undoubtedly a great progress compared with the legendary three-sentence pattern in the Yao and Shun era that we can see today. As far as its artistic expression is concerned, the Book of Songs, especially national folk songs, can be said to be the pinnacle.

Second, the innovation of composition.

Qu yuan's previous poems, such as the national style in the book of songs, generally adopt the form of overlapping singing and repeated chanting in chapters; In many poems, only a few words are changed in each chapter to show the passage of the scene or the progress of feelings (such as Zhong Yi and General Zhong Zi). This form is related to the combination of poems and is a reflection of the form of movement. It has the function of remembering and strengthening emotions, but it also brings a disadvantage, that is, it reduces the capacity of the whole poem accordingly.
