Features: "Shige" (Poetic Patterns) is a term in the history of ancient Chinese literary criticism, referring to a specific category of books. As a proper noun for this category, its scope includes works named "Shige" (Poetic Patterns), "Shishi" (Poetic Styles), "Shifǎ" (Poetic Methods), etc. Later, the concept expanded from poetry to other literary genres, giving rise to books like "Wenge" (Prose Patterns), "Fugé" (Rhapsody Patterns), "Siligé" (Classical Chinese Patterns), and even "Shugé" (Calligraphy Patterns) and "Zügé" (Character Patterns). The nature of these works remains consistent.
