"Late in Xunyang and Looking at Mount Lu" is a five-character poem by Meng Haoran, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The metrical characteristics of this poem are as follows: Number of words: There are eight sentences in the whole poem, totaling forty characters. Rhyme: The whole poem rhymes with flat tones, and the rhymes are "Feng", "Feng" and "Zhong". Rhythm: This poem conforms to the metrical rules of five-character poetry, that is, each sentence has five words and a total of four couplets, namely the first couplet, chin couplet, neck couplet and tail couplet. The chin couplet and the neck couplet each have two sentences, each with five characters, arranged in a dual manner in the middle to form a counterpoint. There is only one sentence and five words in the last couplet. In addition, the metrical characteristics of this poem are also reflected in its flatness. The rules of level and obliqueness in five-character rhymed poetry are: level tones and oblique tones alternate, with flat tones used for odd-numbered digits and oblique tones used for even-numbered digits. For example, "I have traveled thousands of miles without encountering any famous mountains." "Du" and "Wei" are in oblique tones, and "Feng" and "Wei" are in flat tones. This way of alternating oblique and oblique lines makes the verses more harmonious in sound and rhyme, and enhances the rhythm and beauty of the verses.
