Comparison between Arabic Poetry and China Poetry

Literature is the most distinctive feature of Arab Islamic culture, and it is also one of the most proud fields of Arabs themselves. The themes of early Arabic literature are mostly proverbs, poems and stories, and the language is concise, sharp and simple, which embodies the wild and straightforward character of Arabs. Poetry before Islam is represented by some Al-Mu`allaqat. In the era when the empire was strong, Arabic literature gained further development because it absorbed the nutrients of the conquered peoples in the empire and the national literature around the empire. Arabic literary works are mainly poems, with beautiful words, sonorous rhymes or euphemistic femininity. In the poetry circles of past dynasties, old people came forth in large numbers. Rhyme and prose made great progress in the era of Abbasid Empire. The Arabian Nights (or translated Arabian Nights) has been continuously improved for hundreds of years. It absorbs the essence of Indian, Hebrew, Persian, Egyptian, China and Arab folk literature, and becomes a pearl in Arab and even world literature.
