Extended information

Five-character quatrain is a genre of traditional Chinese poetry, referred to as five-character quatrain, which refers to a short poem with five characters and four sentences that conforms to the standard of rhythmic poetry, and belongs to the category of modern poetry. This style originated from the Yuefu poems of the Han Dynasty, was deeply influenced by the folk songs of the Six Dynasties, and became mature and finalized in the Tang Dynasty. Each of the five poems has only twenty words, which can show fresh pictures and convey various true artistic conceptions. Because the small makes the big, the small makes up the big, and the short chapters contain rich content, which is its biggest feature. Wujue has two grids, namely, Pingqi and Pingqi. Representative works include Wang Wei's "Birdsong Stream", Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts", Du Fu's "Eight Formations", Wang Zhihuan's "Ascending the Stork Tower", Liu Changqing's "Farewell to Master Lingche", etc.
