Is it difficult to arrange a seven-character poem?

It’s difficult.

Rhyme arrangement is also a kind of rhythmic poetry. The difference between Qilu and Qilu is that it is long, at least ten sentences, and there are a lot of antithetical sentences in the middle (except for the first two sentences and the last two sentences, which can not be antithetical, the middle ones must all be antithetical sentences), other rules They are all similar to Qilu.

In general, seven rows is the most difficult type of old-style poetry, followed by five rows.

Seven-character rhymed poetry refers to poems with seven characters and eight sentences that conform to the standard of rhymed poetry. Its rhythm is very strict, and there are strict regulations in terms of words, rhymes, equivalence, and antithesis.

1. The length is fixed. Each poem has eight sentences, each sentence has seven characters, totaling fifty-six characters. The first and second sentences are called "first couplets", the third and fourth sentences are called "chin couplets", the fifth and sixth sentences are called "neck couplets", and the seventh and eighth sentences are called "tail couplets".

2. Rhyme strictly. The whole piece has four rhymes or five rhymes, and generally even-numbered sentences rhyme, that is, the last word of the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth sentences must have the same rhyme. The first sentence may or may not be rhymed, but is usually rhymed with flat tone, rhyming from one end to the end, without changing rhyme in the middle. They are also required to rhyme with the words in the rhyme book.

In principle, only the original rhyme can be used, not the adjacent rhyme; even if it is a little looser, only the first sentence that enters the rhyme is allowed to use the adjacent rhyme, which is called "borrowing rhyme". Seven-character rhyme poems can be divided into two formats: the first sentence in rhyme and the first sentence without rhyme according to whether the first sentence rhymes. Among them, the first sentence in rhyme is in formal form, which is different from the five-character rhyme poem.
