The introduction of ancient poetry is as follows:

Judging from the number of words in poetry, there are so-called four-character poems, five-character poems, seven-character poems and miscellaneous poems. Four words are four words, five words are five words and seven words are seven words. After the Tang dynasty, it was called modern poetry, so it was usually divided into five words and seven words. Five-character ancient poems are referred to as five ancient poems for short; Seven-character ancient poems are referred to as seven ancient poems for short, and those who use three, five and seven characters at the same time are generally considered as seven ancient poems.

The characteristics of ancient poetry are introduced as follows:

Classical poetry is a kind of poetry as opposed to modern poetry. Before the formation of modern poetry, there were many schools of Chinese poetry. Also known as ancient poetry, there are three carriers.

Four-character poems no longer exist in modern poetry. Although the word "ancient" is not added, it goes without saying that it is an ancient poem. The ancient poems included in The Book of Songs are mainly four-character poems. Four-character poems were written in Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. Cao Cao's Looking at the Sea and Tao Yuanming's Stopping Clouds are typical four-character poems. There are many ancient poems with five words and seven words, referred to as five ancient poems and seven ancient poems for short.

The ancient Five Dynasties first appeared in the Han Dynasty. Nineteen ancient poems, all five-character poems. After the Han Dynasty, many people wrote five-character poems. Most of the poems in the Southern and Northern Dynasties are five-character poems, and there are more five-character poems in the Tang Dynasty and later. The appearance of the Seven Ancient Dynasties may be earlier than that of the Five Ancient Dynasties. But before the Tang Dynasty, it was not as common as the Five Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, seven ancient books appeared in large numbers, which were also called long sentences by the Tang people.

The miscellaneous poems are introduced as follows:

Miscellaneous poems are also unique to ancient poetry. Poetry varies in length, from one word to more than one cross. Generally, it is a mixture of three, four, five and seven words, and seven words are the main ones, so it is customarily classified as ancient seven words. There are many miscellaneous poems in The Book of Songs and Han Yuefu folk songs.

In addition, ancient quatrains also had authors in the Tang Dynasty. All belong to the category of ancient poetry. In the process of development, classical poetry and modern poetry have an interactive relationship. In the late Northern and Southern Dynasties, a new style of poetry appeared, which emphasized rhythm and duality, but had not yet formed a complete rhythm, and was between classical poetry and modern poetry. Some ancient poems in the Tang Dynasty tend to be legalized, and even ancient works are often integrated into modern sentence patterns.
