Fu is a rhymed style in ancient my country, between poetry and prose, similar to the prose poems of later generations. It emphasizes literary grace and rhythm, and has the qualities of poetry and prose. It is characterized by "the collection of essays and the use of objects to describe one's aspirations", focusing on describing scenes and expressing emotions through scenes. It first appeared in the prose of various scholars and was called "Short Fu"; the "Sao style" represented by Qu Yuan was the transition from poetry to Fu, and was called "Sao Fu"; the Han Dynasty formally established the style of Fu, which was called "Ci Fu"; After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it increasingly developed in the direction of parallel verse, which is called "parallel Fu"; in the Tang Dynasty, it shifted from parallel style to rhyme style, which is called "Lü Fu"; in the Song Dynasty, fu was written in prose form, which is called "Wen Fu". Famous poems include: Du Mu's "Afang Palace Fu", Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu", Ouyang Xiu's "Qiu Sheng Fu", Su Shi's "Qian Chibi Fu", etc. ?[1]?
Although to modern people, Fu is far less popular than poetry, prose, and novels. However, in ancient times, especially in the Han and Tang Dynasties, poetry and fu were often referred to together. We can get a clue from Cao Pi's "poems and poems are beautiful" and Lu Ji's "poems are related to emotions and are exquisite, and poems are about objects and objects are bright". Fu originated during the Warring States Period, flourished during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and declined during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were literati who only wrote fus but not poems, but there were almost no talented people who only wrote poems but not fuss. After Jian'an and throughout the Six Dynasties period, Fu was more highly regarded than poetry. Qu Yuan's works are called Fu in "Historical Records", and the works of Qu Yuan and others are also called Fu in "Han Shu". Later generations respected "History" and "Han", so they called the works of Qu Yuan and others Fu. Fu is the most representative literary style of the Han Dynasty that best reflects the spirit of the times. It is a new literary style that is finally synthesized on the basis of inheriting the tradition of poems and odes in the Book of Songs, being close to the Songs of Chu, and incorporating the extravagant and wanton style of the Warring States Period and related factors in the works of pre-Qin scholars. Together with the poetry and prose of the Han Dynasty, it made the Han Dynasty literature splendid and brilliant.
