Four tones in classical Chinese pronunciation

That is, pitch up and down, collectively referred to as four tones.

Stand up and fall.

Stand up means that the first word and the second word of the first sentence are flat, and stand up means that the first word and the second word of the first sentence are flat.

For example, the next sentence of the second couplet of Autumn Night in the Mountains, beginning of autumn is flat and flat in the evening, and the last sentence of the third couplet, the moonlight in its pine forest should also be flat, so it is flat and flat, but because the foot of the sentence must be closed with a flat voice, it becomes sticky.

The first and last letter:

The first sentence is the same as the last sentence. For example, the first sentence of autumn night in the deep mountains is that the mountains are empty after the rain, flat and even, and the last sentence is when you are here, ah, the prince of friends? , flat and uniform.

Sanpingdiao

There are three tones at the end of the sentence, which are called "three tones". This is a special form of classical poetry, which must be avoided as far as possible when writing modern poetry, and it cannot be remedied.

2. The seven-word sentence is "flat and flat". The first and third words can be flat, but the fifth word can't be flat, otherwise it will become a three-tone tone tone.

Liu Yuan, a Pingshui person in the Southern Song Dynasty, compiled the Brief Rhyme of the Book of Rites in Renzi New Magazine, and merged the rhymes used together into 107, and later generations simplified them into 106, which is called Pingshui Rhyme. This is a rhyme that has been used to this day. The rhyming books actually used in the Tang Dynasty are roughly the same as those compiled by Heping Yunshui.

rhyme

One is Harmony and Xie Yun. Poetic terminology. It is said that some rhymes, such as pronunciation, are not in harmony with other rhymes of the same poem, so it is necessary to change a certain sound to coordinate the rhymes. Some literati in the Southern and Northern Dynasties read the Book of Songs according to the pronunciation at that time, and found that many poems were not harmonious in rhyme, so they temporarily changed some words in their works to a certain pronunciation. In the Ming Dynasty, Changdi began to use the principle of sound change, thinking that the so-called pronunciation of Ye Yun is an ancient local sound, which can be rhymed by reading the ancient sound and cannot be changed at will.
