Literary forms such as poetry, prose, and rhetoric are readily available, and there is a clear demarcation between historical prose, Zhuzi prose, and applied prose.

Poetry opened the beginning of Chinese lyric poetry, and the Book of Songs and Chu Ci respectively created the two main schools of Chinese literature, realism and romanticism, and had an extremely far-reaching impact.

The pre-Qin period was an important period in the development of Chinese literature, which laid the foundation for later literature. The characteristics of pre-Qin literature can be summarized as follows:

Historicity: Pre-Qin literature mainly reflects the historical, political, cultural, and religious conditions of the society at that time, and has a distinct historicity.

Prose-based: In pre-Qin literature, prose was more important than poetry. The prose deals extensively with people's thoughts, social life, and political issues, presenting a distinctive personality style and ideological characteristics.

Prose narrative is dominant, but poetry is also important: In pre-Qin literature, prose narrative is the main form, but poetry is also a part that cannot be ignored. The creation of poetic form is mainly embodied in the Book of Songs.

Taoism, Confucianism, and Mohist thought as the main content: In the pre-Qin period, the ideological trends of the hundred schools of thought prevailed, among which Taoism, Confucianism, and Mohist thought were important contents in literature. These ideas are also often mentioned in literature.

In such an era that is far away from the present, the ancient civilization and splendid culture created by our people that were rare in the world at that time can be completely comparable to the "ancient Greek culture" and "ancient Roman culture" of ancient Europe.

This is the pride of the Chinese nation and the treasure of all mankind.

Pre-Qin literature is in the foundation stage of the development of ancient literature in China. Among them, ancient mythology, poetry and prose have achieved great achievements and have had a profound impact on the development of literature in later generations.

In short, in the development of Chinese literature, pre-Qin literature is not only the "source" of rich cultural accumulation, but also the "peak" of thousands of walls.
