The stone is like jade, the column is loose like jade, and it is unique in the world.
Stand like a garden and a tree and smile like the moon in your arms.

Stones are piled like jade, pine trees are arranged like jade, and the gorgeous color of white is unparalleled in the world. There is no other person like him in the world.
Standing like a treasure tree of Ganoderma lucidum, smiling is like holding the bright moon in your arms.

The Han, Wei and Six Dynasties were famous for Yuefu folk songs. Yuefu was originally a music institution established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was used to train musicians, make music scores and collect lyrics, among which a large number of folk songs were collected. Later, Yuefu became a poetic name with musicality. Fifty or sixty folk songs of Han Yuefu preserved today truly reflect the miserable life of the lower classes.
For example, War in the South and North, Journey to the East Gate, Joining the Army in the Tenth Five-Year Plan, Mulberry on the Stranger, etc. Compared with the Book of Songs and Songs of the South, it is more lively and free in style, and has developed five-character style, seven-character style, long and short sentences and so on. , and mostly narrative-oriented, shaping characters with certain personality.
Since the Qin dynasty, the official position of wind music established by the imperial court was expanded on a large scale during the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and a large number of poems and poems were collected from the people, which was collectively called Han Yuefu by later generations.
Later, Yuefu became a school of poetry (1976 A button clock was unearthed from the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and the inscription was "Yuefu" in gold. In 2000, a "Yuefu Seal" was unearthed at the site of Anqin, which further affirmed this historical fact. Yuefu began in the Qin Dynasty, not in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. )
Yuefu is a court institution established by the feudal dynasty in Han Dynasty to manage music. Yuefu originated in the Qin Dynasty, and the name Yuefu was adopted in the Han Dynasty. In 1 12 BC, Yuefu was formally established in the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Yuefu was mainly in charge of music, supervised the collection of folk songs from all over the country, and matched it with music to facilitate singing at court banquets or sacrifices. Poems collected and sung by Yuefu are called Yuefu poems.
According to Records of Rites and Music in the History of Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wudi was in power, there was an organization that collected local ballads, arranged and made music scores, called Yuefu.
Later, people called the poems collected and created by this institution Yuefu Poetry, or Yuefu for short. By the Tang Dynasty, although the scores of these poems had long been lost, this form followed, becoming a poetic genre with no strict meter and close to five or seven words.
