The Yuefu is an ancient music institution, an official office established by the imperial court to manage music since the Qin Dynasty.

It collected and compiled Han folk music from various places, arranged, adapted and created music, and performed singing and performance.
The influence of the Yuefu poetry genre on the singing styles of later generations:
The Yuefu poetry genre also had an impact on the formation of the singing styles of later generations. The Five-character and Miscellaneous Yuefu of the Six Dynasties poet Bao Zhao are outstanding, and the Yuefu songs of Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty are even more unprecedented. Their artistic form is also significantly influenced by the Yuefu folk songs of the Han Dynasty. Use dialogue and monologue to narrate the story.
Han Yuefu poetry cleverly casts dialogues to describe the characters, and the voices and emotions are so vivid that people feel like hearing their voices and seeing their people. For example, "Going to the Mountain to Collect Weeds" is almost entirely composed of questions and answers between an abandoned wife and her old husband, showing the wife's kind character. There are also monologues used throughout the novel, such as "Orphan's Journey" in which a monologue is used to describe the pain of orphans. These techniques also inspired the rhetorical techniques of later poetry.
