Second, the origin of seven-character couplets

It is a genre of ancient Chinese poetry, and each sentence of the whole poem is mainly composed of seven words or seven sentences.

It originated from folk songs. In the pre-Qin period, besides the Book of Songs and Songs of the South, there were seven-character sentence patterns, while Xiangcheng Pian written by Xunzi was a miscellaneous poem with seven characters as the main body, imitating folk songs. In the Western Han Dynasty, in addition to the Song of Guarding the Building and the Song of Shang Jun contained in Hanshu, there were seven-character popular rhymes such as Fan Jiang by Sima Xiangru and Ji Jiu by You Shi.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many miscellaneous ballads with seven words, such as "Mai Yao", "Wu in the City" (Sima Biao's Five Elements of Hanshu) and "Children's Songs Around the Ling" (Ge Hong's "Bao Pu Zi Shen Ju"), all of which were vivid, popular and fluent folk works with seven words. According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once called his ministers together and made a seven-character couplet of Bailiangtai. But according to later research, this is an untrue statement and unreliable.

Ge Yanxing by Wei is China's first complete seven-character poem of literati. Later Tang Huilin and Bao Zhao all had seven-character poems. Bao Zhao's 18 "Zhun Qi Difficult to Walk" not only greatly expanded the content of the poem, but also changed the rhyme of the original seven-character poem into the rhyme of every other sentence and can be changed, which opened up a new way for the development of the seven-character style.
