The basic unit of a series of melodies, whether they rhyme or not. It is the basic unit of poetry rhythm and expresses the rhythm of poetry. Rhythm is a sound group that expresses the rhythm of poetry, also known as cadence. It is the basic unit of poetry rhythm and also the basic unit of poetry rhythm. Rhythm is the beat of poetry. The beat is determined by words, and a poem consists of several words, that is, several beats.
And a few beats in a poem are just a few steps. There is no level in English, but there are important points. The special combination of stressed syllables and unstressed syllables in English poetry is called cadence. The steps are similar to the bars divided in music, and the weight is similar to the strong and weak beats in each bar, which are repeated regularly. A foot usually contains two or more syllables, one of which bears the main stress.
(or syllables are divided into heavy syllables and light syllables according to a specific pattern in the volume table) The most common types of steps are iambic, iambic, iambic and iambic. There are other types of steps. The number of syllables in a step can be two or three syllables, but not less than two or more syllables, and only one syllable can be stressed.
The step is also the basic rhythm unit in phonology. A typical foot consists of a series of syllables, one of which has stress or other prosodic elements. The concept of step is extremely important in rhythm phonetics. However, it is not clear whether the concept of step is useful for languages without stress or syllable beat.
In China's ancient poems:
To analyze the metrical height of English poetry is to divide it into steps, distinguish which steps are and calculate the number of steps. In ancient Chinese poetry, step is also a rhythm unit, which is a phonetic group to express the rhythm of poetry. Generally speaking, a monosyllabic step is a word, and a disyllabic step refers to a word with two words. For example: day//mountain/tail, ending in a single step.
There are exceptions, which may be awkward to read: "Three Wan Li//River//East into the sea, 5,000 meters//Yue//On the skyscraper." In fact, in Chinese, a syllable or a combination of syllables will form a "pause", which is a sound step. Syllables are complete, and common poetic styles such as four-character, five-character and seven-character have long formed a fixed rhythm division form.
