Poetry is the mainstream because it was popular in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, a large number of poets appeared, including pastoral poets, bard and so on. The Tang Dynasty left a large number of poems, including five-character poems and eight-character poems, some of which can be divided into quatrains and metrical poems.

Moreover, the Book of Songs was first discovered, which is said to have existed before the Xia Dynasty. The Book of Songs can be divided into three parts: style, elegance and ode, among which one style poem accounts for the largest proportion, which shows that poetry has long consolidated its position.

As for other literary forms, such as words, songs, dramas, essays and novels, they developed after the Song Dynasty. It is said that the form of poetry is unparalleled. Just like the simplest, the sky is gray and the fields are vast, and the wind and grass see cattle and sheep. Just a few words can show the vast grassland at that time, and even describe the activities of animals on the grassland. This is so poetic that it can't be compared with other literary forms. Poetry has strong expressive power.
