Han Fu is divided into Sao Fu, Da Fu and Xiao Fu. Representatives of Sao style Fu are Jia Yi's "Fu in Tribute to Qu Yuan" and "Fu on Pengniao", which were directly influenced by Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters" and "Tian Wen", retaining the tradition of adding "xi".
Da Fu is also called San-style Fu. It is huge in scale, magnificent in structure, majestic in momentum and gorgeous in vocabulary. It is often a lengthy masterpiece with tens of thousands of words. The short fus have abandoned the shortcomings of the big fus such as long length, dense rhetoric, neglecting the essentials, and lack of emotion. On the basis of retaining the basic literary talent of Han fu, short fuses have been created that are smaller in length, elegant in literary style, satirical about current events, and lyrical in praise of objects.

" "Shanglin Fu", Dong Zhongshu's "Shibuyu Fu", etc.
