poetry is a special form of literature,which calls for rhyme and syllable to emphasise the strong feeling the poet want to explain.It can be used to describe some heart-touching things,memorialize some important events , express the poet's thoughts and attitude towards some specific things or even summarize the main idea of a more complex masterpiece in favor of its short and laconic terms. In China ,the word "poetry" is originally referred to the Book of Songs,which means the poetry consists two parts,one is poem and the other is song.In that time,the poem can be sang with the play of some musical instruments while the song cannot be sang through this way.So it is quite different from this today.Because of the missing of the music score , the poetry in ancient China remain a historical vacancy. The book of songs in pre-Qin period known as the poem, was China's first General anthologies of poetry, collecting a total of 311 poetries since the early years of the Western Zhou dynasty to the middle of the spring and Autumn period , also known as the book of 300.
