Abstract:The anti-septasyllabic verse was a sub-style of poetry favored by the best-known poets throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty. It usually took the form of eight seven-character lines but was not regulated-versed. Strikingly characteristic of “oblique tone” and “anti-antithesis”,this style of poetry differs completely from regulated verse in mood and emotion.
