The author analyzed the ancient verse poetry, which consist of eight sentences of which there are five characters in each, in the poetry of Tang in order to explore the characteristics of"anti-wulv"(an ancient verse of poetry in Tang Dynasty in China). At the same time, subject matter of the poems and states of mind of the author in the course of creating were investigated to explain causes further for the purpose of studying regular patterns of Tang poems in depth.At first, Anti-wulv was defined in introduction. To put it simply, Anti-wulv is the same thing as the ancient verse of five characters in one sentence in Tang Poetry. Although this ancient verse of poetry is similar to Wulv in forms, it has its own characteristics because the creators'deliberation. The features of the verse are: eight sentences and five characters in each one in forms and "anti-rhyme". "Anti-rhyme" is mainly manifested in "anti-Level and Oblique Tones", "anti-rhyme" and "anti-adhesion". Therefore, we defined this kind of poems as"anti-wulv". The following part mainly discussed the evolution of Tang poems consisting eight sentences of which there are five characters in each before Tang Dynasty. The evolution can be divided into two stages as follows: the first stage, which is from Han Dynasty to the late Jin Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty. The second stage is from the early Song Dynasty, after Qi and Liang Dynasty to Chen. We can arrive at the conclusion that the definition and characteristics of this verse after discussing the process of the stereotyping of it.Anti-wulv can be mainly divided into four categories in terms of rhyme. A-type: each sentence of the whole text ended with the rhyme of level contour (one of the four tones of Chinese characters). Some use the consistent rhyme from the beginning to the end, but still others change the rhyme. B-type: using oblique tones as rhyme throughout the whole text. Some use the consistent rhyme from the beginning to the end, but others change the rhyme. C-type: eight sentences of poems are divided into two parts: the upper part and the lower part. The former one consists of four sentences and the latter includes four, too. The rhyme can be level tone in the upper part and oblique in the lower or vice verse. The rhyme should be changed in the middle cut of the poems. Sometimes a change will be found in the single upper or lower part. D-type: employing level or oblique contour interchangeably as a rhyme without regular patterns. The author classified related poems according to the above four types. Moreover, the further classification can be got in terms of four periods of Tang Dynasty literature (beginning, flourishing, middle and late) with examples. Most of these poems are written by famous poets. Several works of the representative poets in each period are cited not only to exhibit achievements of"anti-wulv"but also to explore features of four types."Anti-wulv"was investigated from two aspects: characteristics of its forms and subjective matter. Its significant feature is sequence but the types of its subjective matter mainly focus on three kinds: parting poetry, pastoral poetry and landscape poetry.After Analysis, we can arrive at the reasons of formation of anti-wulv. The external reason is the political impact of the Tang Dynasty while internal reason is that Tang Dynasty scholars'awareness of genre and eagerness of seeking novelty.
