What are the characteristics of Yuefu poetry?

Yuefu poetry is an ancient poetry genre. In the history of literature, the so-called Yuefu poetry not only refers to the works collected by Yuefu organs, but also refers to the Yuefu works copied by writers in previous dynasties after Wei and Jin Dynasties. So what are the characteristics of Yuefu poetry?

1. The biggest and most basic artistic feature of Han Yuefu is narrative. This feature is determined by the content of its "accidental things". Although we can already see some works with narrative elements in the Book of Songs, such as Meng and Meng.

2. Express the character's character through the character's language and actions. Some adopt the form of dialogue, such as the dialogue between Luo Fu and the emissary in Mo Shang Sang, and the dialogue between the wife and her husband in East Gate, all of which can show different characters such as wit, courage and kindness.

3. The language is simple, natural and full of emotion. The language of folk songs in Han Yuefu is generally colloquial, but it is also full of feelings and people's love and hate. Even narrative poetry is a combination of narrative and lyric, so it has a strong appeal.

4. The forms are free and diverse, including three words, four words, five words, six words and miscellaneous words, among which the most commonly used are emerging miscellaneous words and five-word poems. There is no doubt that rich and diverse forms help to express complex ideological content.

All the above are about the characteristics of Yuefu poetry.
