Chapter 26 Section 3 Rhythms and Fus in the Tang and Song Dynasties

The imperial examinations in the Tang and Song Dynasties required the composition of Fu, so Parallel Fu evolved into Rhythmic Fu.Rhythm Fu has very strict rules: antithesis should be neat and tidy, rhythm should be strict, rhyme should be specified, length should be limited, and the author's creativity should be strictly restricted, which is similar to "eight-legged essays" in Ming and Qing Dynasties.Law Fu has lost its literariness and is no longer a literary work, so no examples are given here.
