Reading poetry may be a hobby or an interest. Reading poetry is a pleasure. You can't fully understand or even understand what it says and expresses, but every time you read a poem, the feeling that it is catchy, rhyming, full of beauty, romantic, short and powerful, unrestrained and sad will make people feel happy about it and make people like and love it more. Whether you understand it or not, the beauty of poetry can't be let go.
Reading poetry may also be a way to talk to the past and learn about people in the past. You can learn about the poet's love and hate through poetry.
Conversely, we can also feel the emotion in poetry through the poet's life background and social background. A poem may be a story or a person's life; It may be an emotion or a mixture. You can feel the poet's concern for the country and people, nostalgia for the past and sadness for others; You can feel the poet's praise for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, his yearning for pastoral seclusion and his great ambition to make contributions to the country. ...
Reading poetry can not only feel the poet's feelings, but also understand some past stories, people's living habits and customs. These stories may not be found in official history, but the study of official history will also be observed from them. May sigh, the original ancient people expressed their love in this way! It turns out that ancient people showed enthusiasm like this! It turns out that the completion of a house needs an article to record and so on, and the descriptions of some big and small things can be read by reading poems.
Formal characteristics of ancient poetry
1. Sentence order: Except for words and songs, most classical poems are regular sentences. For example, the Book of Songs is basically four words. For example, Chu Ci is roughly six words plus one word "Xi", while most classical poems and modern poems are five or seven words.
2. Flat tone and duality: Flat tone and flat tone are two major categories of Chinese tones. In modern poetry, poetry and songs, there are quite strict regulations on the use of flat and even words. Some positions must be in plain characters, and some positions must be in plain characters.
3. Words and syntax: Because each Chinese character is basically an independent unit, with both form, sound and meaning, and many Chinese characters are polysemous, the bonding relationship between words is varied, so the words in this bonding poem are extremely complicated and diverse. For example, adding a word after the word "wind" can form many words: charm, scenery, wind and thunder, wind and frost, wind and wind, etc.
