Matters needing attention in writing quatrains

1. When writing quatrains, we should not only pay attention to the prosodic rules, but also pay attention to the artistic conception and emotional expression of poetry. The most important thing in the creation of quatrains is to be concise and express the most artistic conception and emotion with the least language. For example, in Wang Zhihuan's "The Story of the Heron Tower" in the Tang Dynasty, the heroic language of hunger for pork and thirst for the blood of Huns showed the heroic spirit of pursuing career success despite difficulties.

2. The emotional expression of quatrains is also very important, which can reflect the poet's thoughts and feelings about life, nature, love and friendship. For example, in "Farewell to Ancient Grass" written by Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty, he expressed his deep sigh that life is short and things are impermanent with the sad words of rambling grass across the plain and coming and going with the four seasons.
