What is the poem that is the same in both directions?

Answer 1

This kind of poetry that could be read forward, backward, or repeatedly was called palindromic poetry. Palindromic poetry was a unique genre in China classical poetry. It made use of the flexible characteristics of Chinese word order, grammar, and word meaning. For example, Su Shi's poem," Empty flowers fall, wine is poured into the vat, and the snow melts on the mountain and the river rises." Red baked shallow pot new fire, dragon group small rolling clear window." It was read as "The window is clear and the small dragon is rolled. The new fire is slightly baked red." The river rises and the snow melts on the mountain. The wine in the jar is emptied and the flowers are empty." There was also the poem "Bodhisattva Man" by Nalan Xingde,"The fog window is cold against the distant sky, and the distant sky is cold against the fog." Flowers fall, crows cry, crows cry, flowers fall. The shadow of the sleeve is thin, and the shadow of the thin sleeve is thin. The wind cuts off a trace of red, and the red thread cuts off the wind." And many other works. Palindromic poems had many forms, such as "full palindromic","sentence palindromic","double sentence palindromic","circle palindromic" and so on. The creation technique inherited the artistic characteristics of poetry's repeated chanting and had a strong artistic effect of loop repetition. It should not be simply regarded as a word game.
