What is called "poetry" in Japan generally refers to Chinese poetry?

The term "poetry" in the history of Japanese literature refers to a literary genre written in Chinese characters, which expresses sound and meaning and has the same rules as that of poetry creation in the Han and Tang Dynasties, that is, what we call archaic and rhythmic poetry. Because Chinese characters are completely used, and the usage of Chinese characters is the same as ours, this kind of poetry is called "Chinese poetry" in the history of literature. This Chinese poem is relative to the later Japanese literary genre "Waka". Understand?
