四言诗的发展由来已久,早在先秦时期就出现了大量的四言诗,而《诗经》作为中国第一部诗歌总集,更是先秦四言诗发展的扛鼎之作。发展到汉代,《诗经》四言诗在影响了汉代四言诗的同时,也赋予了其新的特质,某种程度上也成为制约汉代四言诗发展的重要因素。 The development of the four-character poem has a long history. As early as the pre-Qin period, a large number of four-character poems appeared. As the first collection of Chinese poems, The Book of Songs is even more a tripod for the development of four-character poems in the early Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the four-character poem of the Book of Songs affected the four-character poem of the Han Dynasty, at the same time it also gave its new character and to an extent also became an important factor restricting the development of the four-character poem in the Han Dynasty.
