Poetry has a history of thousands of years in China until it reached its peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The 300 Tang and Song poems we are studying now are the classics handed down from that period.
There are many poems with numbers, some at the beginning, some at the end, and some even have every sentence. Applying numbers to poetry can express things more accurately and increase the interest of poetry. For example:
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu's quatrains: Two orioles sing green willows and a row of egrets fly to the sky.
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai boarded the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing, just like this Egret Island that divides the river.
Tang Dynasty: Du Mu's "Farewell" dreamed of Yangzhou for ten years and won the name of brothel.
Tang dynasty: Li shangyin's cicada, ah, this last breath is among the green and indifferent trees! . Song dynasty: Wang Anshi's "Mr. shuhuyin's wall" protects the field with water and sends it to two green mountains.
Song Dynasty: Su Shi's Jiangchengzi? On the twentieth day of the first month, I remembered my dream. Ten years of life and death are two boundless, I don't think about it, I will never forget it, and there is nowhere to talk about the lonely grave.
Song Dynasty: Shao Yong's Poem of Shangshan Village went to twenty or thirty miles, and there were four or five smoke villages. The pavilions are six or seven, and the flowers bloom in eighty or ninety. Not only is there a number at the beginning, but every sentence has a number.
Ming Dynasty: Wu Cheng'en's "A Moon Full of Gankun" Shili Pavilion was full of stars and no tourists. All ships in Bahe River are closed, and all seven thousand counties are closed. Six palaces and five houses belong to the official slaughter, and the four seas and three rivers fish. The bell rang on the second floor, and a bright moon filled Kun. There are not only numbers at the beginning and every sentence, but also flashbacks. Have to admire Wu Cheng'en's talent!
Qing Dynasty: Li's Beauty Fu is Joe's second little Joe, with a waist of three inches and a golden lotus of four inches. I bought 567 packets of powder and dressed beautifully.
