The difference between Fu and poetry
Fu and poetry are the two main styles of ancient Chinese literature, but there are some obvious differences between them. Fu was a literary work that expressed the author's feelings, thoughts, and outlook on life through the description of nature, human affairs, history, and other aspects. The language of Fu was usually more gorgeous, exaggerated, and the use of Fu Bi Xing was more common. Moreover, the number of words in Fu was often several thousand words. On the other hand, poetry was a literary work that expressed the author's emotions and thoughts in the form of lyrics, narration, and scenery. Its language was concise and clear, often using rhymes, antithesis and other rhetorical devices, and the number of words in the poems was relatively small, usually between a few hundred to a few thousand words. Fu and poetry are different in form and content, but they both reflect the unique charm and cultural meaning of ancient Chinese literature.
