There are two methods of chanting poems: one is to put oneself in it; the other is to stand beside oneself. "That is to say, there are roughly two types of writing methods of poems about objects: one is a simple poem about objects with no sustenance, such as the poems about objects in Qi and Liang Dynasties that describe shapes; the other is objects with sustenance. Allegorical poems about objects, such as Qu Yuan's "Ode to Oranges"

1. Direct description of objects (without sustenance)

It cannot do without this object, so it is still a poem of chanting objects. Secondly, it is In terms of the focus of creation, it is also different from the previous category.
