Five laws leveling

There are only four kinds of five-character flat lines, and these four kinds can form two couplets. Namely:

Even, even,

Flat and faint;

Flat and faint,

It is flat.

From the intricate changes of these two couplets, we can form a five-law and four-flat format [1]. In fact, there are only two basic formats, and the other two are only slightly changed on the basis of the basic format.

(1) Five-law Starting Formula

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

Wang Chun (Du Fu in Tang Dynasty)

Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested. Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.

The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold. The bald head has become shorter, and there is no room for hairpins.

On the other hand, the first sentence is changed to flat, and the rest remains unchanged.

(2) Five laws parallel starting type

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains (Wang Wei in Tang Dynasty)

The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and feel the early autumn at night. The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks.

The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe. Spring spring might as well give it a rest, and the autumn sun can stay on the hills for a long time.

On the other hand, the first sentence is changed to flat, and the rest remains unchanged [1 1].
