Introduction to poetry:
Poetry comes from life. Poetry is the flash of the sea of life. If we separate poetry from life, we can't understand the essence of poetry. Many poems have emerged in ancient and modern China and abroad. "The scope of poetry is all life and nature;
The poet looks at everything in the world, and his views are as varied as those of thinkers. "Where there is life, there is poetry singing. The field of poetry is as vast as life.
The characteristics of poetry:
Poetry is full of the author's thoughts, feelings and rich imagination. The language is concise and vivid, with distinct rhythm, harmonious phonology and rich musical beauty. Sentences are generally in rows, paying attention to the beauty of structure and form.
He Qifang, a modern poet and literary critic in China, once said: "Poetry is the literary style that most strongly reflects social life. It is full of rich imagination and feelings, and it is often expressed in a direct lyrical way. Moreover, in the degree of exquisiteness and harmony, especially in the distinct rhythm, its language and prose are different. "
This definition summarizes several basic characteristics of poetry: first, it reflects life in a highly concentrated and general way; The second is lyrical expression, full of rich thoughts and feelings; Third, rich imagination, association and fantasy; Fourth, language has musical beauty.
In modern poetry, single sentence is called antithesis, double sentence is called antithesis, and addition is called antithesis. In metrical poems, the first to eighth sentences are called first couplet, parallel couplet, neck couplet and tail couplet respectively. In metrical poetry, couplet and neck couplet must be opposed. In addition to the relative part of speech, antithesis first requires the same sentence form.
In addition, according to the severity of confrontation, there are "workers' right" and "lenient right". The level of sentence and the level of sentence must be opposite, which is called "right"; The parallel lines of the lower conjunction and the upper conjunction must be consistent, which is called "sticking".
