People often say "Yuan Qu of Tang Poetry and Song Poetry" in poetry. Why?

The Tang Dynasty was the golden age for the development of China's classical poetry. Tang poetry is the most obvious symbol of literary achievements in the Tang Dynasty and a new era of China's poetry development, reaching an unprecedented peak. Poets in Tang Dynasty were divided into different periods and had different celebrities. There were four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty, namely, Luo, Yang Jiong and Lu. They were all outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty.

The most famous are Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran and others in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Poetry in this period is divided into many schools. Some people focus on writing pastoral poems, while others focus on describing social life, so they later achieved Tang poems with different themes. There were Meng Jiao, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and others in the middle Tang Dynasty. Poets in the late Tang Dynasty included Li Shangyin, Wen and others.

The forms of Tang poetry are also diverse. Tang poetry is divided into ancient poems and modern poems, which are divided into five-character ancient poems and seven-character ancient poems. Modern poems are divided into quatrains and metrical poems, as well as five-character quatrains, five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains and seven-character metrical poems. The tone and rhythm of ancient poetry are relatively loose, while modern poetry is more rigorous in meter.

After thousands of years' changes, Tang poetry has been enduring for a long time, leaving many masterpieces for modern people, which can make people feel the beautiful artistic conception and harmonious rhythm brought by Tang poetry.

Ci began in Liang, became in Tang and flourished in Song, so it was called Song Ci. Song Ci and Tang Poetry are called "two wonders" in the history of China literature.

Famous poets in Song Dynasty include Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Li Qingzhao, Yan Yong and others. Like Tang poetry, Song ci has formed many different schools, among which Su Shi is the representative of the bold school and Li Qingzhao is the representative of the graceful school.

Ci is divided into poem, middle tune and long tune. Words have brand names, mostly from allusions or the following Yuefu poems. Only one paragraph of a word is monosyllabic and two paragraphs are disyllabic. Famous ci poems include "Shuidiao Song Tou" and "Yulin Ling".

Yuan Zaju combines singing, narration and dancing, and its masterpiece is Guan Hanqing's Dou Eyuan. Sanqu is a poem, which is divided into collections and poems. The masterpiece is Ma Zhiyuan's Tianjingsha Qiu Si.
