Quatrains, also known as truncated sentences, broken sentences, short sentences and quatrains, belong to a form of modern poetry. There are different interpretations of it, and some people think that the "half-cutting method" is convenient for singing.
Quatrains are composed of four sentences, which are divided into quatrains and archaic quatrains, among which quatrains have strict metrical requirements. Common quatrains include five-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains, while six-character quatrains are rare.

Rhyme is a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. Named for its strict metrical requirements. Metric poems originated from Shen Yue and other new-style poems that emphasized the antithesis of metrical poems in the Southern Dynasties, and were further developed and stereotyped by Shen Quanqi and Song Wenzhi in the early Tang Dynasty, which prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Rhyme has strict rules in word, rhyme, even tone and antithesis. Its common types are five-character poems and seven-character poems.

First of all, quatrains
According to the number of words in each sentence, quatrains can be divided into five-character quatrains, six-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains. There are many five-character quatrains, few seven-character quatrains and few six-character quatrains. According to the strict degree of metrical requirements, it can be divided into two categories: absolute and ancient.
Rhyme, like metrical poetry, is fluent and strict according to the characteristics of metrical sentences. Ancient quatrains, that is, quatrains, are a kind of quatrains opposite to metrical quatrains. Although it rhymes, it is relatively free, or some poets don't want to be bound by meter.
Second, legal poetry
Generalized metrical poems are very inclusive, allowing irregularities and three ends to exist. For example, the Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao is a typical example.
In a narrow sense, the metrical form of metrical poetry is very strict, and there are strict rules in terms of words, rhyme, level tone and antithesis.
Metric poems are generally eight sentences each, and more than eight sentences are called parallel sentences or long sentences. An eight-sentence metrical poem, every two sentences are linked together, is called quadruple. Traditionally, the first couplet is the first couplet, the second couplet is the parallel couplet, the third couplet is the neck couplet, and the fourth couplet is the tail couplet.
The upper sentence of each couplet is called a sentence, the lower sentence is called a sentence, and the two sentences form a sentence relationship; The relationship between prepositional antithesis sentence and prepositional sentence is called adjacent sentence relationship.
The number of words in a metrical poem is uniform, and each sentence is five or seven words, which are called five-word metrical poem and seven-word metrical poem respectively. The five laws stipulate that every sentence has five words, and the first word is forty words; The seven laws stipulate that each sentence has seven words and the whole sentence has fifty-six words. There are also six-character sentences, all of which begin with 48 characters. They are called six-character poems, and there are few handed down works.
