Besides Chu Sheng and Dixiyu music in the north, there are five-character ballads popular in China. As far as the Western Han Dynasty is concerned, five of the six lines of "Song of Voiceless" sung by Mrs. Qi during the reign of Emperor Hui were five words. Among the four poems "There are beautiful women in the north" sung by Li Yannian for Emperor Wu, three are five-character poems, and the word "I'd rather not know" is removed from the third sentence. They are all standard five-character poems. Western Han Yuefu widely collected all kinds of ballads, among which there must be a considerable proportion of five-character poems. These five-character poems are different from the traditional four-character poems in form, which aroused the strong interest of scholars and imitated them personally. Therefore, more literati five-character poems began to appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is the basic track of the development of early five-character poems.
