The difference between limerick and jingle

There are differences in origin and development, morphology and structure.

Origin and development: limerick originated in the Tang Dynasty, which is a form of folk poetry, usually expressing emotions or describing things in a humorous way; The jingle originated in Song Dynasty, which is a folk rap art form. It usually rhymes or describes things in a smooth way.

Formal structure: the five-element limerick is generally four or eight sentences, each with five or seven words, which rhymes freely; However, jingles have no fixed number of sentences and words, and are usually expressed in a rhyming way, which is more flexible.
