The Creation Tradition of Yuefu Poems

The Yuefu poems in the two Han dynasties pay attention to tailoring, emphasizing narrative but slightly lyrical, laying out the scene, detailing the intermediate process and outlining the beginning and end. On the one hand, Yuefu poems in the Han Dynasty played a positive role in promoting the evolution of China's ancient poetic style, and realized the transition from four-character poems to miscellaneous poems and five-character poems.

Han Yuefu is divided into:

1, symphony: mainly music songs made by noble literati for sacrifice, gorgeous and elegant, without thinking. Such as the seventeenth chapter of An Shi Fang Song and the nineteenth chapter of Jiao Ji Song. Music mainly uses Qin music and Chu music.

2, advocating music: also known as piccolo cymbals, is the northern music introduced from the northern nationalities in the early Han Dynasty. The lyrics were written later, and the content was more complicated. Mainly folk creation.

3. Harmony songs: Music is folk music collected from all over the country, and most of the songs are "street talk". Among them, there are many masterpieces, which are the essence of Han Yuefu.
