First of all, from the perspective of syllables, this poem has the harmonious beauty of syllables, which is mainly manifested in the rhythm of the poem. The rhythm of this poem is very neat, and there are four pauses in each line, such as:
This is/a ditch/despair/stagnant water, breeze/can't afford to blow/a little/a waste of time. Why don't you throw more copper/iron scraps and throw out your leftovers/leftovers?
Every four pauses here consist of three "two-character feet" and one "three-character foot". Such a neat pause makes the syllables of this poem very harmonious, just like a four-beat song, and makes its rhythm have a rhythmic musical beauty. The musical beauty of this poem is also reflected in the rhythm. Except for the first verse, the second, third, fourth and fifth verses of the whole poem are all rhyming. Make the rhythm neat and not rigid. This also makes the new metrical poem and the old metrical poem have obvious differences in form. In addition, the first sentence of the first two paragraphs of this poem is "This is a backwater of despair", which is not only an emphasis and echo in the sense, but also a rhythmic beauty.
Secondly, the architectural beauty of this poem is also obvious. The so-called architectural beauty of this poem is that the lines and stanzas of the poem are arranged evenly. This poem has five sections, each with four sentences and nine words, with symmetrical envoys and even sentences. Each section is square and uniform, like an angular, rigid and tall building with architectural beauty.
Thirdly, this poem also has a strong beauty of painting, which is mainly manifested in the beauty of words in the poem. When describing stagnant water, poets pay special attention to choosing words that easily arouse people's visual association, so as to enhance the aesthetic feeling of painting in their poems. For example, there are rich and distinctive emerald green, peach blossom red and pearl white, plus Luo Qi and Xia Yun. This undoubtedly greatly enhances the painting beauty of poetry. Poets use beautiful colors to describe the "surface" of stagnant water, of course, precisely to effectively reveal its ugly "interior." The sharp contrast between the surface and the heart has a strong irony effect, just like exaggeration in comics and irony in rhetoric.
