If we talk about ancient poets now, are they considered writers?

Are ancient poets considered writers now? Ancient poets are equivalent to modern ones: Romantic writers are also poets.

Poets in ancient times must first have certain literary skills. Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a (naturally) smart mind, with a delicate level of cognition and understanding of things, and the ability to filter and filter in the heart. And can skillfully use beautiful words, sentences, and words to express emotions and feelings systematically.

Poets can use the least (gorgeous) words to express (express) things, hearts, passions and other things in a profound way, which is also beyond the capabilities of human beings. If a poet writes, the expression of the article will be very delicate. However, it is not ruled out that due to overly delicate expressions, it may become complicated and wordy. This may be a problem with the attributes of poets (or authors), and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a problem.

Ancient poetry is equivalent to modern lyrics. Because poems and music can be sung, this is why poems pay attention to the use of flat and oblique sounds, high, low, pure and low, because when sung, they must have high, low, pure and low. So: Ancient poets were also lyricists.

As for the status of ancient poets, it is a bit difficult to say. It depends on the person. Anyone from the emperor to the common people can compose poems. It’s just a matter of different cultures, different backgrounds, and personal talents. Therefore, there will be high-quality products, defective products, and vulgar products, which do not exclude character, personality, and popularity. For example, Qianlong was regarded as the emperor. There is nothing to say about his status. He has written tens of thousands of poems, but few are popular. Liu Yong spends all day in Liu Lane, and is indeed loved by the women in the brothel. Therefore, ancient poets are not limited by status, but have different levels. Some poets have a low status, leading to poverty, but their poems are indeed famous throughout the ages. There are those who are noble emperors and scholar-bureaucrats, and there are those whose poems are mediocre. In other words: status and poetry cannot be equated.

Xu Zheng, a native of the Qing Dynasty, once said: Poetry is a person's strategy. If a person is tall, the poem will be high, and if the person is vulgar, the poem will be vulgar. Seeing his poems is like seeing his person, not a single word can be concealed.
