First, ancient poetry
Ancient poetry mainly refers to ancient poems and essays with a long history and rich cultural connotations in China, such as The Book of Songs and Historical Records. As far as China culture is concerned, it is popular to write poems in the Tang Dynasty, such as quatrains (such as Li Bai's "Early Sending Baidicheng") and regular poems (such as Du Fu's "Landing"); Most popular words in the Song Dynasty have tablet names (such as Bodhisattva Man). The famous word in Yuan Dynasty is Qu (such as Guan Hanqing's Yuan), which has many names of tablets and songs.
Second, poetry.
Poetry refers to the traditional poetry of Han nationality in China, represented by ancient poems, modern poems and metrical words. It is also one of the characteristics of Chinese character cultural circle. Generally speaking, poetry is more suitable for "expressing ambition" and words are more suitable for "expressing emotion". Poetry is a literary art that expounds the soul, and poets and poets need to master mature artistic skills and follow strict prosodic requirements;
With concise language, dense rules, rich emotions and rich images, social life and human spiritual world are highly concentrated. China's poetry originated in the pre-Qin period and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. China's ci originated in Sui and Tang Dynasties and was popular in Song Dynasty. China's poetry originates from the people, but it is actually a kind of grass-roots literature. In China in the 2nd/kloc-0th century, poetry is still favored by the public.
Third, ancient poetry
Classical poetry is written in the style of ancient poetry. In the eyes of the Tang people, everything from the Book of Songs to Yu Xin in the Southern and Northern Dynasties is ancient. Therefore, there is no certain standard for the so-called ancient poetry style. However, the ancient poems written by poets are consistent in one thing, that is, they are not bound by the rhythm of modern poetry. A kind of metrical poem, which began to form in the early Tang Dynasty, has strict rules on the number of words, rhyme and antithesis, which is what we call modern poetry.
Modern poetry is relative to ancient poetry. Poets in the Tang Dynasty and beyond still wrote classical poems. We can say. Anything that is not bound by the near-body meter is an ancient poem. Classical poetry is divided into four-character poems, five-character poems and seven-character poems. Modern poetry is divided into quatrains and metrical poems.
