Metrics of ancient poetry

The four tones of Chinese characters are divided into two categories: flat tone and flat tone. The first sound (flat sound) and the second sound (flat sound) are collectively called flat sound. There is no fluctuation in the flat sound, which is relatively long. The third tone (rising tone) and the fourth tone (falling tone) are collectively called tones. Words with old sounds are also classified as sounds. It means inclined, which means uneven.

The word "flat" is very important in the arrangement of poems, and all metrical poems are flat. Although ancient poetry is not so strict in its requirements for flat tones, in general, it should be properly arranged to make the tone of the poem ups and downs, musical and catchy. For example, the fifth and sixth sentences of Chairman Mao's Seven Laws "Long March" say, "The Jinsha River is warm with clouds and cliffs, and the Dadu Bridge is cold with iron."

Its flatness is "flat, flat, flat." Every two words have a rhythm. In the flat sentence, flat is followed by flat, flat is followed by flat, and the last word is flat. But the first sentence is flat tone followed by flat tone, followed by flat tone, and the last word is flat tone. This is the alternation of levels.

Rhyme is one of the most popular forms of old poetry "modern poetry". The so-called "law" means regularity. These laws, including the definition of flat and parallel, the length of words, the neatness of antithesis and so on. Generally speaking, regular poems are all in five words and seven languages. If you write five words, the level is as follows:

Plain, plain, plain, plain.

Plain, plain, plain, plain.
