The whole poem is 249 words, with mixed style and prose, uneven sentences, free and easy brushwork, strong feelings, singing three sighs and being extremely heroic. This style, this brushwork and this structure fully show the poet's character. The predecessors once commented that "Li Taibai is magical and far away, and Du Shaoling is gloomy and tragic". This poem is the proof of this style, and it is also the difference between the two masters' poetic styles.
Ancient poetry should be divided into two types according to genre: ancient poetry and modern poetry. Classical poetry is called classical poetry, and its writing form is free, and it is not bound by metrical rules. The representatives of this poetic style are The Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, Han Yuefu and so on. Modern poetry is generally strict, with certain requirements on rhyming, leveling and antithesis, and strict restrictions on the number of words. Modern poetry is divided into metrical poems and quatrains.

For example, Li Bai's Into the Wine, it is hard to go, Wang Changling's The First Song, Du Fu's Two Ways, and Meng Jiao's Ode to a Wanderer all belong to Yuefu poems. However, some poems that can be accompanied by music, such as old poems, are collectively called "Yuefu". From this perspective, how can Bai's Shu Dao Nan in Tang Dynasty not be regarded as a Tang poem? .
