Classification of ancient poems Classical poems Yuefu quatrains
Classification of Ancient Poetry-Classical Poetry-Yuefu-Jueju
The editor of 300 Tang Poems divides poems into three categories: classical poems, regular poems and quatrains, all of which are equipped with Yuefu. Ancient poems, regular poems and quatrains are divided into five words and seven words respectively. This is a kind of division. The classification of Shen Deqian's Poems on Tang Poetry is slightly different: he did not separate Yuefu, but added the category of five-character poems. Du Fu's poems compiled by Guo Zhida in Song Dynasty can be divided into two categories: ancient poems and modern poems. From the perspective of meter, poetry can be divided into classical poetry and modern poetry. Ancient poetry is also called ancient poetry or ancient style; Modern poetry is also called modern poetry. In terms of the number of words, there are four-character poems, five-character poems and seven-character poems. After the Tang Dynasty, there were few four-character poems, so the general poetry collections were only divided into five-character poems and seven-character poems.
Ancient body and near body
Classical poetry is written in the style of ancient poetry. In the eyes of the Tang people, everything from the Book of Songs to Yu Xin in the Southern and Northern Dynasties is ancient. Therefore, there is no certain standard for the so-called ancient poetry style. However, the ancient poems written by poets are consistent in one thing, that is, they are not bound by the rhythm of modern poetry. A kind of metrical poem, which began to form in the early Tang Dynasty, has strict rules on the number of words, rhyme and antithesis, which is what we call modern poetry. Modern poetry is relative to ancient poetry. Poets in the Tang Dynasty and beyond still wrote classical poems. We can say. Anything that is not bound by the near-body meter is an ancient poem. Classical poetry is divided into four-character poems, five-character poems and seven-character poems. Modern poetry is divided into quatrains and metrical poems.
Yuefu poetry
Yuefu was originally the name of the official position of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and later became a poetic name. Music songs collected and created by Yuefu government in Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties are called Yuefu for short. Poems written by Yuefu poets in Wei, Jin, Tang and later dynasties are also called Yuefu or Yuefu, although they are not enjoyable. For example, Lyle Song, Mulan Poetry, Peacock Flying Southeast, and Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream are all Yuefu poems. Yuefu came into being in the Han Dynasty and was originally accompanied by music, so it was called Yuefu or Yuefu Poetry. This kind of Yuefu poetry is called Qu, Ci, Song and Xing. After the Tang Dynasty, the ancient poems written by literati imitating this style were also called "Yuefu", but they were no longer named as such. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the gradual formation of new music, the lyrics of new music appeared, called "Ci". Ci probably originated in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In the transitional period after the decline of Yuefu and before the appearance of Ci, modern poetry was adopted as lyrics with new music. For example, Cheng Wei Qu by Wang Wei and Qing Ping Diao by Li Bai are both forms of modern poetry.
"Modern Style" Poetry
Modern poetry is divided into metrical poems and quatrains. The difference between metrical poems and quatrains mainly lies in the number of sentences. There are four quatrains and eight rhyming poems.
There are eight metrical poems, one or two of which are the first couplet, three or four are the parallel couplet, five or six are the neck couplet, and seven or eight are the tail couplet.
Quatrains are also called "sentence cutting". Sonnets may or may not be antagonistic, but they must be antagonistic to each other. Both quatrains and quatrains require even numbers. A metrical poem with more than eight sentences is called arrangement.
