Qijue

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

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

• Example of qiyan jueju:

{{Verse translation|italicsoff=y|lang=zh|

"江南春绝句"

千里鶯啼綠映紅，

水村山郭酒旗風。

南朝四百八十寺，

多少樓臺煙雨中。

|attr1=Du Mu (杜牧)
(803～852)|

"Spring of the South"

Thousands of miles of birds' singing, light green along the Yangtze river;

Ponds and hills circling the village with flags in the soothing wind;

Amid the four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties;

How many terraces are in the misty cold rains?}}

• Example of shichigon-zekku:

{{Verse translation|italicsoff=y|lang=zh|"富士山"

仙客来遊雲外巓

神龍棲老洞中渕

雪如丸素煙如柄

白扇倒懸東海天

|attr1=Ishikawa Jozan (石川丈山)
(1583～1672)|

"Mount Fuji"

This great peak above the clouds, where hermit-wizards came for sport

The deep pools of whose caverns holy dragons have inhabited from old

The snow is like white silk, the rising smoke like a handle

A great white fan inverted, in the heavens above the eastern sea}}
