Couplet It is a literary form that pays attention to rhythm. To appreciate and write couplets, you must

It is necessary to understand its basic metrical requirements. The so-called couplet rhythm (referred to as couplet rhythm) refers to some basic rules and formats for couplet writing, and its core requirement is antithesis. The basic rhythm of couplets can be summarized into six elements and six taboos.

It is generally believed that the six basic metrical elements of couplets are: equal number of words, related content, equal parts of speech, proportional structure, corresponding rhythm, and harmony between oblique and oblique. The author believes that these six elements can be understood from three aspects: basics, grammar, and rhythm:

1. The number of words is equal and the content is related

These are the two foundations of couplet rhythm. elements. The equal number of words means that if the upper line is composed of several clauses, the second line should also be composed of several clauses with the same number of words. In short, if the number of words cannot be equal, then it cannot be called a veritable couplet in any case.

From the content point of view, the content between the upper and lower lines should be related to achieve opposite or complementary effects. This relationship either reflects and complements each other from the same perspective, which is the so-called "opposition"; or it contrasts and contrasts with each other from the opposite perspective, which is the so-called "opposition". For example:

The awakening and conduct are perfect; the merits are solemn. (Opposite)

A calm mind accumulates blessings; a desire to bring disaster again. (Objection)

There are also a few couplets where the upper and lower couplets are connected to each other, which are the so-called "string pairs" or "running pairs". For example:

In addition to sweet, bitter, spicy, salty and sour;

It is nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

If the contents of the upper and lower couplets are irrelevant, it will make people feel very awkward and stiff, and it will not achieve the literary effect that the couplet should have, and it cannot be called a qualified couplet. Of course, there is a special form of couplets, the so-called "merciless pairs". It refers to the fact that the upper and lower couplets are neatly contrasted in form (literally), but intentionally unrelated in content (meaning), thus creating a special effect. The ruthless pair mainly uses the formal characteristics of couplets (antagonism) to embody a kind of literary taste and technique, and its content is secondary. For example:

The flowers are blooming in front of the court;

Your Excellency, Mr. Li. (commonly used as a ruthless pair)

The tree is half dead and the ax is hanging;

As expected, it has nothing to do with it. (commonly used in ruthless pairs)

In short, equal number of words and relevant content are the minimum requirements for the form and content of couplets, which reflect the most basic correspondence and correlation, so the two are called the basis elements.

2. Equivalent parts of speech and proportional structure

These are the two grammatical elements of couplet rhythm, and they are also the two most critical elements. Equivalent parts of speech means that the properties of the words in the upper and lower couplets should be as identical or similar as possible. Such as noun to noun, verb to verb, etc. For example:

The five aggregates are all empty and the view is at ease;

See the Tathagata without any confusion.

In this couplet, "五" and "一" are both numbers, "Yun" and "心" are both nouns, "Ji" and "不" are both adverbs, "empty" and " "Chaos" are both adjectives, "Guan" and "See" are both verbs, and "Zizi" and "Tathagata" are both nominalized adjectives or verbs. Generally speaking, the requirements for function words are relatively loose, while the requirements for content words are stricter. In specific antithesis, in addition to the part of speech, the role of words in the sentence can also be appropriately considered. The requirements for modifying words are looser and the requirements for central words are stricter.

Structural compatibility means that the grammatical structure of the corresponding sentences in the upper and lower lines should be as similar as possible. For example:

Always endure humiliation with one heart;

Let everything happen as it happens.

Both the upper and lower couplets of this couplet have a subject-predicate-object structure. Among them, "one heart" and "all things" are both partial structures, and "endure" and "according to fate" are both verb-object structures.

3. The rhythms are corresponding, and the level and oblique are in harmony.

These are the two rhythmic elements of the couplet rhythm. Rhythm is originally a musical term, which refers to the regular alternating intensity, length and other phenomena in music.

In couplet law, it refers to the regular pause phenomenon in couplet sentences. Rhythm correspondence means that the rhythm pauses of the upper and lower couplets should be as consistent as possible. For example:

When the leakage is gone, fly away;

The heart is empty and return home.

Use magical power to protect the righteous Dharma;

Set up the Menglan basin to save relatives.

However, the author believes that rhythm can be divided into broad and narrow senses. Rhythm in a broad sense includes semantic rhythm and vocal rhythm. Rhythm in the narrow sense refers specifically to semantic rhythm. Semantic rhythm is mainly divided according to sentence structure, which refers to the pauses or breaks in syllables based on semantic meaning. Rhythm is viewed from the perspective of the tone requirements, which refers to the tone requirements at a certain position in the sentence (the tone arrangements). The author believes that in order to make the concept clear, it is best to express semantic rhythm and vocal rhythm as "rhythm" and "meter" respectively. Examples are as follows:

Hear the prophecy at the same time; obtain Bodhi in the next step. (Rhythm)

At the same time - listen and teach - record; sequentially - obtain Bodhi. (meter)

Of course, rhythm and meter are closely related, and the two are often consistent.

Harmony between levels and obliques, also known as coordination between levels and obliques. In a narrow sense, it refers to the two major requirements for the tones of couplets: the relative relationship between oblique obliques and the alternation of oblique obliques. Broadly speaking, it also includes other equivocal issues such as the arrangement of sentences and footings (see six taboos). The relative tone of flat and oblique means that between the steps of the upper and lower couplets and the foot of each clause, the flat tones should be opposite to the oblique tones, and the oblique tones should be to the flat tones. That is, if the first couplet has a flat tones, the second couplet must have a oblique tones, and vice versa. There is a saying about the arrangement of the steps that "one, three, and five are irrelevant, but two, four, and six are clear." This is because, in fact, it is not necessarily required that the entire steps are evenly relative to each other, as long as they can be evenly opposite to each other in the position of the steps. The so-called foot position refers to the last character of each foot, which is the key sound that determines the nature of the entire foot. Since most of the phonetic steps of Chinese characters are two-character steps, the phonetic steps generally refer to the second, fourth, and sixth characters of each sentence. Therefore, there is a saying that "one, three, and five are irrelevant, but two, four, and six are clear." For example:

Xinchi - there is something outside - the reality is lost - there is; in the body - in the air - not seen - empty.

○○ △△ △○ △ ○△ ○○ △△ ○(○ means flat tone, △ means oblique tone.)

In this couplet, the first 35 characters are not necessarily flat. Relatively speaking, characters 246 and 246 are all relatively flat. However, not all foot positions are in the 246 position, mainly due to the sentence pattern of couplets. In addition to the antithetical sentence patterns in rhymed poetry, there are also sentence patterns such as words, music, fu, parallel prose and even prose, as well as The use of collar words, proper nouns, etc. For example:

Build a mandala altar and practice Dharma;

Meditate at Alan Ruo.

A straight mind is the foundation of all actions;

Greed is the source of all suffering.

Study the Shingon teachings deeply and diligently;

Promote the Mahamudra method with all your strength.

The foot steps of the above couplets are not necessarily in the 246 position.

Alternation of oblique and oblique, which is actually two aspects of the same problem as opposed to oblique and oblique. It refers to the correspondence between oblique and oblique between the steps (or foot positions) of the sentences in the upper or lower couplet. Use alternately. Only between the foot of each clause and the previous sound step, the issue of alternation does not need to be considered. For example:

The true body has passed the mortal world; the wonderful method cannot be heard by Xiaozhi.

○ △ ○△ △ ○ △○ (the sound steps alternate, and the foot of the sentence also alternates with the previous sound step)

There is a true Buddha when you start with righteous faith; there is no devil if you go deep into your heart. .

The requirements for coordination between oblique and oblique are not absolute. Sometimes, in order not to The law harms the meaning, and it can also be accommodated if there are certain places where Ping and Ze are wrong or Ping and C are not replaced.

When using special rhetorical techniques such as parallelism, rhyme, and quotation, and using fixed sentence patterns such as idioms and allusions, the metrical requirements on level and obliqueness can be appropriately relaxed.

Six elements and six taboos of the basic rhythm of couplets (Part 2)

Author: Da Zhi Source of article: Internet

Some Lianjia take the equivalence of strength and weakness or the equivalence of concepts as one of the elements of the couplet rhythm, but the author thinks it is inappropriate. Because "equal strength and weakness" is just a further rhetorical requirement on the basis of relevant content. It means that the meaning of the contents of the upper and lower lines must basically match. The more they match, the more effective the contrast will be. If the upper link is too strong and the lower link is too weak, or if the lower link is too strong and the upper link is too weak, its symmetry will be affected. Therefore, strength and weakness mainly involve the issue of the width of the confrontation. Similarly, concept equivalence is just a further rhetorical requirement based on equivalence in parts of speech. It means that not only the parts of speech of the upper and lower couplets must be equivalent, but the concepts or meanings represented by the words must also be equivalent, and they must be as close or opposite as possible. This is only a matter of wide-ranging confrontation. If the two words in the upper and lower couplets belong to the same concept, the smaller the category, the more effective the contrast will be, and vice versa. For example: "China" and "rooster" have the same category as things; "xiaori" and "rooster" are reduced to natural objects; "grass" and "rooster" are reduced to living things; When "horse" is compared to "rooster", it is reduced to an animal; when "old duck" is compared to "rooster", it is reduced to birds or even poultry. Secondly, if the conceptual relationship between the two words in the upper and lower couplets is more contradictory (the so-called "contradictory concepts"), the more effective the contrast will be, such as "have" versus "nothing", "true" versus "false", "sheng" The pairs of "death", "wisdom" and "foolishness" are work pairs.

In short, the six elements of couplet rhythm are related to the issue of whether a couplet becomes a qualified couplet. In this regard, it is still necessary to further form a political understanding of the couplet world on the basis of full discussion and clearly define it.

The author believes that in addition to the above-mentioned six elements, there are also six more important taboos in the basic rhythm of couplets, that is, six situations that should be avoided as much as possible. They are briefly described as follows:

1. Avoid ending at the same time

This is in terms of the relationship between the clauses and sentences in the first or second line. For a couplet composed of multiple clauses, the arrangement of the footings of each clause can, strictly speaking, be governed by horse hoof rhyme. The so-called horse hoof rhyme refers to the flat and oblique arrangement of the feet of a sentence like the walking of a horse, with the back foot following the front foot prints. The flat format is: flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat. However, the author believes that starting from the current situation and development trend of couplets, taking into account the characteristics of the couplets that "the couplets have no final sentences and the sentences have no final characters", as well as the complexity of the couplet sentence pattern and other factors, the metrical requirements for the arrangement of the sentence feet are also "Don't settle with the same voice" can be the rule. To be more precise, this rule has two requirements: (1) If there are two to three clauses on each side, it is required that all clauses cannot end at the same time. (2) If there are more than four clauses on each side, it is required that each clause cannot be three consecutive sentences (exceptions can be made when connecting sentences and middle clauses) or three or more sentences can end at the same time. This kind of rule is concise and clear in theory and flexible in application. It not only embodies the combination of principle and theory, but also accommodates several major different opinions on the issue of equivalence of sentences and footings. Taking the top couplet of five sentences on each side as an example, according to the rules of "horse hoof rhyme", there are only two formal patterns: 仄仄平平仄 and 仄平平平仄 (when divided into paragraphs in the middle), and there is another type of 仄平平仄仄Variations, ***three formats.

According to the rule of "avoid ending with the same sound", then, 仄仄平仄, 仄平平仄 (when divided into paragraphs), 仄平平任仄, 任仄平任仄, 仄仄平仄, 任仄仄仄, 平平仄仄Eleven formats such as , 平平廄平廄, 平仄仄平廄, 平仄平平廄, 平仄平仄仄 are all qualified, and there is no need to distinguish between the regular case and the deformed case.

2. Avoid ending with the same sound

This is the relationship between the first couplet and the second couplet. To be more precise, this rule also has two requirements: (1) Regardless of the length of a couplet and the number of clauses, it is required that the first line of the couplet ends with a oblique tone, that is, the last word of the first couplet should be with an oblique tone; the second couplet is required to end with a level tone. Generally, the first line cannot end with a flat tone, and the second line cannot end with a flat tone. (2) The upper and lower couplets cannot end in the same tone, that is, the last character of the upper and lower couplets cannot both be in the oblique tone or the same tone.

3. Avoid three flat or three oblique tails

This refers to the last three words in a sentence, which should be avoided as much as possible. For example, "sitting on the lotus platform because of deep connections", if "sitting" is changed to "climbing", it becomes three flat tails. Another example is "One can enter the Tao by cultivating according to the law." If "can" is changed to "can", it will become a triple ending. There is no difference between three flat tails or three square tails in terms of flat and flat tails. In order to reflect the theoretical consistency, both should be regarded as taboos. You cannot only avoid three flat tails but not three square tails.

4. Avoid Gu Ping or Gu Ze

This means that in a five-character or six-character sentence, you should try to avoid having only one flat tone character or only one oblique tone character in the entire sentence. For example: "Everything goes as expected", if it is changed to "Everything goes as expected", it is Guping; another example: "Bodhi is ready at this moment", if it is changed to "Bodhi is perfected at this moment", it is Guqing. Here, the author will briefly discuss the Guping issue. The author believes that couplets do not have to completely follow traditional poetic rules. From the perspective of couplets, "in a five-character or six-character sentence, if there is only one flat tone, it is a solitary tone." This definition is more concise and reasonable. Because: First, this definition’s requirements for level and toe are generally looser, which is in line with the development trend of couplet rhythm. Secondly, according to the traditional poetry rhythm, the so-called Guping also requires the addition of sentence footings. However, there is a big difference between couplets and modern poetry, that is, the leveling requirements for the last characters (sentence footings) are different, and rhyme is not required, so in In the couplet, the last word (sentence foot) does not have to be marked separately. Third, from a literal perspective, Gu is one. If the literal meaning and actual meaning of Gu Ping are completely consistent, it will be helpful for understanding and operation. The solitary tone of traditional poetic rhythm is: in the sentence pattern of five-character flat-rise and seven-character straight-tone, except for the flat-tone characters in rhyme, if there is only one word in the sentence that is a flat-tone character, it is a "lone flat". This kind of definition, in fact, has fixed Gu Ping in one or two sentence patterns (specifically, the five-character "平平廄廄平" has become "廄平仄廄平", and the seven-character "廻仄平廄廄平" ” becomes “廄仄廄平廄廄平”, which is Guping). Therefore, the word Guping must be supplemented with additional explanations so that people can actually understand and operate it. Fourth, in terms of five-character couplets, if only "廄平廄廄平" is Guping, then let's take a look at "廻仄仄平廄" and compare the two formats. From the perspective of the rigidity and monotony of Pingchui, Which one is more rigid and monotonous? Fifth, modern poetry is mainly composed of five or seven words. Therefore, in six-character couplets, the concept of traditional poetic rhythm cannot be explained, and in six-character couplets, the phenomenon of solitary poetry may also exist. (
