Qiyan jueju (七言絕句; abbr. qijue 七絕), known in Japan as shichigon-zekku (七言絶句) is a type of jueju poetry form consisting of four phrases each seven Chinese characters (or kanji) in length.

Shichigon-zekku are the most common form of classical Chinese poems (kanshi), and the standard form of shigin (Japanese chanted poetry).

Composition

In composing Qiyan Jueju, the character of the phrases (Jueju) is important. The rules are as follows:

• First phrase Qiju (起句, "bringing into being"): Depiction of the scene
• Second phrase Chengju (承句, "understanding"): Add further illustration and detail to the Qiju
• Third phrase Zhuanju (転句, "changing"): By changing the scene of action, reveal the true essence of the poem
• Fourth phrase Jueju (結句, "drawing together"): In assimilating the Zhuanju draw together and complete the poem
