唐五代詠史詞在類型表現上，由於受到當時詞之功能為應歌，以及內容實質原屬抒情，因此具有三項突出點：一是，並未完全接收前行詩歌原具之三種類型，只選擇了記敘與抒情兩種類型，至於議論類型則被排除在外。二是，抒情類型的篇章數量遠超過記敘類型。三是，記敘類型的詠史詞往往帶有傷感情調。故而洋溢淒清悵然之氣息。

As the function is singing, and the contexts are lyric, the nostalgia ci which belongs to the Tang and Five-Dynasties has three features: first, it didn't borrow all of the ancient poems' three types, just adopted two of them, ignored the discussion type. Second, the lyric works are far more than narrative works. Finally, it always has a sad sentiment in the narrative type's works. Therefore, the nostalgia ci in Tang and Five-Dynasties is full of desolate and lost atmosphere.
