As an art with a long history and charm, The Book of Songs has always been regarded as an art. The author thinks that the most beautiful place of The Book of Songs lies in its phonological structure, which is the beauty of the book of songs in language. Language consists of phonetics, vocabulary and grammar, which exists in any language and is also a special element of language. As far as China's classical poetry is concerned, it usually stays in a book and is a static poetry text. This leads to the disappearance of pronunciation from people's field of vision and becomes the dark night of history, just like the soundtrack of many classical poems. This is a great loss for modern researchers. As we all know, poetry such as The Book of Songs has a strong sense of rhythm, and its pronunciation is an important aspect of studying poetry and an important dimension that cannot be ignored.
At present, many papers have discussed the rhyme of poetry. In the Historical Investigation of the Stylistic Characteristics of China's Poetry, Zhang Zhongyu's view is that "as one of the main characteristics of China's classical poetry, we can't give up the harmonious and beautiful rhythm (rhythm, flatness and rhyme), which is the final boundary between poetry and non-poetry." Li Peirong pointed out in On the Stylistic Features of Poetry that "musicality is the stylistic feature of poetry. Poetry and music are closely combined, common descent, influencing each other and developing in the same direction; The musicality of poetry is manifested in rhythm and rhythm. Without musicality, poetry cannot be itself. "
The most important way to spread China's classical poems is chanting, which is an important way. However, as far as the main ways of poetry communication are concerned, this point is often ignored, which leads to the lack of rich poetry research objects in later generations. It is normal to add the phonology of poetry to the scope of poetry research. Phonology is an important part of poetry. The so-called "phonology" is to summarize the characteristics of "phonology" according to "phonology system" and "phonology", and then further interpret the poetry text. Phonology studies the sound, rhyme and tone of Chinese syllables. A syllable contains initial, intermediate, main vowel, ending and tone, which should be paid attention to from the perspective of phonology.
Second, the rhyme reading of The Book of Songs.
In the rhyme reading of The Book of Songs, due to the progress of culture, the pronunciation of many words has changed. Today, we have been debating whether to read ancient sounds or standard sounds. The author's point of view is that everything in the world is developing more scientifically and endlessly, so ancient Chinese is no exception. The previous eighteen or twenty-eight books are the crystallization of ancient wisdom, and many studies have been developed on this basis, but it does not mean that they are perfect. For example, in Meng, the rhyme in the first chapter-"Fu, Si, Mou, Qi, Qiu, Qi, Mou" is homophonic except for "Mou", "Qiu" and "Mou", so I won't go into details to trace the ancient sound. This is 28 "ha" parts, and the rhyme value is ai. Jiang Youhao's Reading the Rhyme of the Book of Songs said: "Autumn Yin deceives, seeks, introduces and opposes Mopi" or inherits Changdi's mistake. The ancient reading of "hill and accumulation" is the second rhyme of "opening and burying", and "medium" and "seeking"-"Huan, Guan, Lian, Guan, Yan, Yan and Qian" can be related. Chapter III Rhyme-"Luoruo" has been related to the modern sound, and the ancient sound luk/nuk is short. Turn to rhyme-"Zhong, Dan", the ancient sound "Zhong", read "Kan" and turn to rhyme-"Shuo, Shuo" is now homophonic. The ancient sound t'at pronounced "couch" for short. The fourth rhyme-"autumn, poverty" has been associated. The old saying "soul, basin". Turn the rhyme-the ancient rhyme of "soup, clothes, cool, and travel" has not changed, and "travel" is pronounced "Hangzhou". Turn rhyme-"extreme, virtue" has been coordinated today, and the ancient sound "cover, generation" is short. Chapter V Rhyme-The ancient rhyme of "fatigue, facing, violence, laughter and mourning" has not changed, and "facing" is pronounced as "knife" in ancient times. Chapter VI rhyme-"resentment, shore, half, banquet, denim, opposition" can be associated with this sound. Turn rhyme-"thinking, zai", ancient pronunciation of "thinking" and "cheeks"
Third, the literary beauty in the phonological structure of The Book of Songs
In the rhyme of The Book of Songs, there are many words expressing images. Image refers to a concrete and single image with words as the carrier. These images not only reflect the unique beauty of ancient literature, but also the general image words show the cultural background of totem worship, witchcraft, customs and people's feelings of the ancients, which provides convenience for future generations to study. The rhyme in The Book of Songs not only contains the author's emotions and subjective thoughts, but also has rich aesthetic charm. In terms of phonology, all the articles in The Book of Songs basically have a neat structure. Taking Zheng's Fengzijiao as an example, it is divided into three chapters, each with four sentences, and the rhyme used in each chapter is different. We can think of corners as a group of four sentences, and the relationship between each three groups constitutes a rhyme change. In addition, in Zi Jin, rhyming forms all begin with sentences, and every chapter is no exception. Its three rhyming parts are invasion part, moving part and moon part. As far as the Book of Songs is concerned, the usage of Yin rhyme is much more than that of Yang rhyme. According to some data, the usage of Yang rhyme is only half that of Yin rhyme. In terms of rhyme, according to the frequency of use, it is at least the department, the yang department, the fish department, the secluded department and the vocational department, of which three belong to yin rhyme and one belongs to yang rhyme. In terms of rhyme, the most impressive thing is that many chapters have a rhyme to the end, but there is a relationship between chapters. These numerous phonological structural features represent the beauty of ancient literature.
Four. conclusion
As a pearl in the cultural history of China, The Book of Songs has much to learn from later generations in terms of literary aesthetics and phonological structure. It has a strong sense of rhythm and musicality, and is also very free in form and rhythm, bringing readers a catchy sense of rhythm.
