Modern style poems generally rhyme in flat tones.
Introduction to metrical poetry:
Also known as modern poetry, it is a type of ancient Chinese poetry. Metrical poetry is a poetic style that took shape after the Tang Dynasty. It is mainly divided into quatrains and rhymed poetry. According to the number of words in each sentence, it can be divided into five-character and seven-character poems. The text structure and sentence structure have certain specifications, the phonology has certain rules, and the changes in use also require certain rules to be followed.
This ancient and traditional poetry style has a strict structure, with certain restrictions on the number of words, lines, level or emphasis, and rhyme. Its number of sentences is certain. For example, rhythmic poetry generally pays attention to level and rhyme, rhyme and antithesis.
For example, "Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping. Different countries have different metrical poems. Such as Chinese modern poetry (quatrains, rhymed verses), Western sonnets, five-line limericks, four-line poems, Spanish eight-line poems, Italian three-line poems, and Japanese haiku.
Finishing:
Poetry developed into the Tang Dynasty and ushered in a highly mature golden age. In the nearly three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, nearly 50,000 poems were left behind, and there were about fifty or sixty famous poets with unique styles.
The Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty were the main poets in the founding period of Tang poetry. These four heroes are Wang Bo (649-676), Yang Jiong (650-693), Lu Zhaolin (637-689), and King Luo Bin (646-684). Although their poems followed the styles of Qi and Liang, the themes of their poems were expanded in their hands, and the form of five-character and eight-sentence verses also began to be preliminarily finalized by them.
The formation process:
Metric poetry was developed on the basis of Yongming style in the Southern Dynasties. With the spread of "Four Tone and Eight Diseases" and "Yongming Tone Rhythm Theory", people gradually realized its shortcomings, sorted out and modified them, and the simpler "sticky antitheses" appeared, and from this evolved the "Ping-Zhi Rhythm" ".
The finalization of the five-character rhymed poetry was completed by Song Zhiwen and Shen Quanqi during the Tang Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu periods. They not only advocated that poetry should pay attention to rhythm and antithesis, but also proposed the law of the cohesion of oblique and oblique lines, that is, a couplet. The couplets should be opposite to the outgoing sentences, and the outgoing sentences of the next couplet should be consistent with the couplets of the previous couplet, and this rule should be used throughout the article.
Later, Shen Quanqi, Song Zhiwen, Du Shenyan, and Li Qiao applied this rule to the seven-character song style, and finally the seven-character verse was finalized during the Jinglong reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty.
