Abstract: After analyzing the rhymes used in their Fu (a literary form with rhyme), we can find that rhymes Meicheng et al. utilized were generally consistent with those prevailed in the period of Pre-Qin Dynasty such as The Book of Songs and The Odes of Chu, but also possessed the features of the rhyme system in the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, these Fu works were probably created in the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, which can be proved in Western Capital Miscellanea. The seven Fu works that King Xiao of Liang et al. created in Wangyou (forgetting worry) Pavilion showed us the development of the Cifu, and the original features of literary activities in the early stage of the Western Han Dynasty. The creation of four-character Fu indicated a development trend that spread out gradually, and that the courtiers eulogized their monarchs became one of the important topics in Cifu. The literary courtiers created Fu according to different topics in groups, the ethos that literati competed with each other on their literary brilliancy and talent were popular in the feudatory kingdoms.
