Background

I am very into writing classic Chinese poetry. The first poetry of mine was written in 2018, when I just graduated from high schooll and was preparing for college life. Under the influence of my father, where he wrote many poetry called Ci (词) and he said that he chose to write Ci rather than poem since writing Poem (诗) need to meet more restrictions and is harder, I decided to try to write a Peom. I searched online for the format and many data to write the first one, and since then, I had fall in love with writing poetry. As time passes, I gradually freed myself from the rigid format and focused more on whether the poem feels fluent and beautiful, where surely the form or genre still meets the classic Chinese poetry.
