2. Differences:

1. Differences in the relationship with music

There are great differences in the literary characteristics of poetic style and ci style. Let's illustrate the differences in the literary characteristics of poetic style and ci style by comparing metrical poems with ci. First of all, the relationship between poetry and music is different. China's classical poetry has an indissoluble bond with music from the beginning, but poetry finally separated from music, and after separating from music, it became mature and prosperous. However, Ci originated in the soil of music, and musicality is the most basic feature of Ci-style literature. Even after Ci-poetry in the Southern Song Dynasty no longer entered into music singing completely, but became a new kind of rhythmic poetry, it still had to be filled in according to the rhythm and tune stipulated in the Ci-poetry, and the brand of music could not be erased.

2. Differences in external forms

Differences in external forms are manifested in sentence patterns, syntax, rhythm and antithesis.

first of all, from the sentence pattern, the metrical verse style is uniform, and the length of ancient poems is arbitrary; The sentence patterns of words are uneven, but the uneven aria of words is also stipulated by the meter; Secondly, the syntax of poetry is also very different, the metrical verse method is relatively fixed, and the rhythm is 23, 223; The syntax of words is flexible and diverse, and one word teases people to go to thousands of miles; Thirdly, the rhyme rules of poetry are different. Metric poems only use flat rhyme, rhyme to the end, rhyme every other sentence, and the first sentence can be suppressed or not; Words are flat and flat, and the rhyme can be changed in the middle, and the rhyme foot is variable, but it is stipulated by the meter; Finally, the antithesis rules of poems are also very different. The second and third couplets of metrical poems must be antithetical, but the antithesis of words is much more flexible and there is no unified requirement. If the foot is right, it can be right or wrong. Eye-catching

3. Differences in theme and content

There are also great differences in theme and content of poems. Poetry focuses on political themes, with the rise and fall of the country, the sufferings of the people's livelihood, ambition and the ups and downs of the official career as the main contents, and mainly expresses the feelings of social groups; A remarkable feature of Ci's theme content is that it mainly describes the love between men and women and the parting of lovesickness, and most of them express the author's personal feelings.

4. Differences in language features

Poetry is a typical language art, while Ci is a typical exquisite language art.. Mr Miao Yue once vividly compared the language features of poetry to the elegant garden pavilion of a scholar-bureaucrat and a famous lady. From this, we can see that because the theme of Ci is mostly related to women, the language of Ci is also feminine, more light, delicate, delicate and fragrant.

5. Differences in styles

The differences in poetic styles are succinctly summarized as poetic charm (Li Dongqi language in Qing Dynasty), and even works with the same theme and content present quite different styles; And the poetry works of the same writer also show a completely different style. This has a lot to do with the differences in theme content and language characteristics of poetry.
