Everything about Qu Poetry totally explained
In
Chinese literature,
qu (
Chinese: 曲), or
yuanqu (元曲) consists of
sanqu (散曲) and
zaqu (雜劇). Along with
shi and
ci, the former comprises
Chinese poetry. The latter is a form of
Chinese opera.
Qu became popular during the late
Southern Song Dynasty, and reached its highest popularity in
Yuan Dynasty, therefore it's often called
yuanqu. Both
sanqu and
ci are lyrics written to fit a particular melody, but
sanqu differs from
ci in that it's more colloquial, and is allowed to contain
chenzi (襯字 "filler words" which are meaningless words to fill up the melody).
Sanqu can be further divided into
xiaoling (小令) and
santao (散套), with the latter comprising of more than one melody.
