"Drinking"——Is Tao Yuanming a five-character poem or an ancient five-character poem?

"Drinking" is an ancient poem with five characters. "Drinking" was written by Tao Yuanming, a litterateur in the late Jin Dynasty and early Song Dynasty, and contains twenty poems.

Take the fifth chapter of "Drinking" as an example. The original text is as follows:

The house is in a human environment, without the noise of cars and horses.

How can you do this? The mind is far away from itself.

Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain.

The mountain air is getting better day by day, and the birds are flying back and forth.

There is a true meaning in this, but I have forgotten to explain it.

1. The rhythm of five-character poems requires eight sentences in each poem, five characters in each sentence, and a total of forty characters. "Drinking" has ten lines and fifty characters, so "Drinking" does not belong to the five-character rhyme poem.

2. The third and fourth sentences, and the fifth and sixth sentences of the five-character poem must be in opposition. In "Drinking", the third sentence "Ask you how can you" and the fourth sentence "My heart is far away and I am biased" do not conflict with each other. The fifth sentence "Pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence" and the sixth sentence "See Nanshan leisurely" do not conflict with each other. , so "Drinking" does not belong to the five-character poem.

3. Five-character rhyme poems must be arranged according to a specific format. They must be correct within one couplet and coherent between two couplets. Relative within a couplet means that the couplets in the same couplet must be opposite to the outgoing sentence Ping and Qi, that is, Qi to Ping, Ping to Qi. However, the first couplet in "Drinking Drinking" is "The hut is in a human environment, and there is no noise of carriages and horses", and the pingqi is "level, level, level, level, level", which is not relative, so "Drinking" does not belong to the five-character rhythm poem.

Five-character ancient poetry is a new poetry style formed in the Han and Wei dynasties. It is different from the Yuefu songs of the Han Dynasty and the modern rhymed poems and quatrains of the Tang Dynasty, so it is called five-character ancient poetry.
