Han poetry

Han poetry refers to the poetry produced during the Han Dynasty in ancient China, lasting from 206 BCE to 220 CE. This era is known for its significant cultural and literary advancements, including the development of various poetic forms. Han poetry often emphasized themes such as nature, human emotion, and historical events, using regulated verse and often employing parallelism and imagery. Notable poets from this period include Qu Yuan and Sima Xiangru. Han poetry laid the groundwork for later Chinese literary traditions, influencing both the structure and themes of future poetry.
