Wang Li's Poetic Metrics

Poetic Metrics is a series of Wang Li's poems published by Zhonghua Book Company.

Most of the poems in the book are the results of previous studies, and some places are the author's own opinions. Because it is a book of basic knowledge, there is no specific description of which parts are described in the book and which parts are the author's own words. "Poetic Metrics" focuses on meter, not on choosing poems, so it doesn't comment on poems with examples.

There are also different versions of words in quoted poems; The author chose the version, but in order to save space and avoid triviality, he doesn't intend to add collating notes in every place. The metrical pattern of poetry has a general purpose, that is, it tries to briefly describe the metrical pattern of poetry as a basic knowledge and tell readers.

As for poetry, the emphasis is on metrical poetry, because after the rise of metrical poetry, poetry has strict metrical rules. The ancient poems before the Tang Dynasty were all free poems or semi-free poems, and I won't talk about them before they formed a meter. As for the ancient poetry after the Tang Dynasty, although it is not limited by metrical rules on the surface, there are actually many exquisite poems, which can't be said, but can be said less.

Brief introduction to the content of "Summary of Poetic Metrics";

Although Wang Li's Summary of Poetry is simpler than Poetry, its basic content is the same and it has its own characteristics. In some places, it is more detailed than the standard of poetry. For example, when talking about flat tones, the commonly used ancient Rusheng characters are quoted, so that readers in dialect areas without Rusheng can master flat tones.

In some places, it is different from poetic meter. For example, it can be divided into two situations: major depression must be saved, and minor depression can be saved or not. This is also to let readers better grasp the rhythm of poetry. There is another difference. Metric uses many poems of Mao Zedong to analyze the metrical pattern of poetry, while the summary of Metric is based on all classical poems.

Mao Zedong's poems are very artistic and regular, and readers are familiar with them. It is possible to use them as examples, and it is also conducive to the popularization of poetry rules. But fundamentally speaking, the rhythm of poetry is summed up from the poetry creation of some ancient people. It should be said that it is more appropriate to describe the rhythm of poetry with the poems of ancient writers.
