Ancient poems:
Ancient poetry is the general name of China's ancient poetry, which refers to the poems created by ancient people in China. Ancient poems in a broad sense include poems, ci poems and Sanqu poems, while ancient poems in a narrow sense only refer to poems, including ancient poems and modern poems.
Metric poetry, also known as modern poetry, is a kind of ancient poetry in China and a poetic style formed after the Tang Dynasty, which is mainly divided into quatrains and metrical poems. According to the number of words in each sentence, it can be divided into five words and seven words. Style and sentence patterns have certain norms, phonology has certain laws, and the changes in use also need to abide by certain laws.
Free verse is a kind of poem with irregular syllables, rhythms and other forms of design. It pursues "organic form" and relies on the natural rhythm of speech. This statement naturally conforms to the theme and feelings of this poem.
Free verse is not a modern invention, but with the arrival of modernism, it occupies an important position and constitutes a rebellion against the fixed form of19th century poetry. Free verse has no external form to use, and it may be the most difficult to write well compared with previous poems.
Words and grammar:
Because each Chinese character is basically an independent unit with both form, sound and meaning, and many Chinese characters are polysemous, and the bonding relationship between words is varied, so the words in this bonding poem are extremely complicated and diverse. For example, adding a word after the word wind can form many words: charm, scenery, wind and thunder, wind and frost, wind and wind, etc.
Syntactically, due to the characteristics of Chinese and the independence of Chinese characters, in classical poetry, two Chinese characters are often separated or some Chinese characters are moved from the back to the front, which is called inverted sentences. The typical poem is Du Fu's fragrant rice pecking at parrot grains, and the old phoenix perching on green trees. The normal syntax should be that parrots peck fragrant rice grains and phoenix perches on old phoenix branches.
Rhythm and rhythm:
Judging from the sentence pattern, the four words of ancient poetry are generally two and two; Five words are two, two and one; These seven words are two, two, two and one. In a sense, sometimes there are special circumstances due to ideographic needs, such as: Shila | Wuyue | Gai | Chicheng, which becomes Type II, II, I and II.
Ancient poetry requires rhyme to make the tone harmonious and beautiful, for example, Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night uses rhyme. The rhyming position is usually at the end of even sentences, such as the bright line at the foot of my bed. Will there be frost already? Looking up, I found that it was moonlight and sank again. I suddenly remembered the home in Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night. Light, frost and country are the rhymes. Usually odd-numbered sentences don't rhyme, except for the rhyme format of the first sentence.
