The 28-character poet's title refers to Du Mu's seven-character quatrains.

Explanation and analysis:

Du Mu, among the poets of the late Tang Dynasty, was the first to use a large number of Qijue forms to write epic poems. He used a distinctive historical writing style to express his emotions by recalling the glory of the past. The sentimentality of the end of the world, or looking for the mistakes of the past to warn the present, can comprehend the philosophy of life from the changes of the times, and integrate praise and criticism into the implicit poetic flavor.

He gave full play to the magical effect of quatrain poetry and created many excellent works known as the "Twenty-eight Characters of History", such as: The sky is empty and the island is sinking, and the eternal depression is sinking into it. See what kind of career the Han family has, there are no trees in the Five Tombs, but there is an autumn breeze.
