China's poetic style. Also known as broken sentences, broken sentences and broken poems. Each song has four sentences, usually five or seven words. Known as the five wonders, seven wonders, and occasionally six wonders. It originated from the ballads of the Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The name "Jueju" originated in the Southern Dynasties. Liang, generally, uses quatrains to refer to four short poems, and their rhymes are relatively free, or they are ancient quatrains. After the Tang Dynasty, quatrains in the near aspect prevailed, and the meter was the same as the first, last or middle four sentences in eight metrical poems. Therefore, some people in the Tang Dynasty attributed quatrains to metrical poems in their poetry collections. Later, some scholars thought that quatrains were formed by cutting off half of orthographic poems. Quatrains are flexible and light, suitable for expressing fleeting thoughts and feelings, and are widely used by poets, and their creation is more prosperous than other poems. In Song Dynasty, Hong Mai compiled 10,000 quatrains in Tang Dynasty, accounting for 1/5 of the total number of existing Tang poems. Besides Li Bai, Wang Changling, Du Mu and Li Shangyin are good at quatrains, there are many famous works throughout the ages, which are not necessarily written by famous writers. In addition, most quatrains in the Tang Dynasty were sung by music, such as Cheng Wei Qu by Wang Wei, Qing Ping Diao by Li Bai, Zhi Zhu Ci by Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi, and Yang Liuzhi. Therefore, quatrains are also considered as Yuefu in the Tang Dynasty.
2. What is "Yuefu Poetry"
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.
3. What is rhyme?
Rhyme is a kind of modern poetry. The meter is very strict Shen Yue's new-style poems, which began in the Southern Dynasty when Qi Yongming was in charge, focused on rhythm and duality, took shape in Shen Quanqi and Song Dynasties in Tang Dynasty and matured in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The metrical requirement of metrical poetry is that the number of words in the poem should be uniform first. Each song is divided into five words, six words and seven words. Secondly, there are different restrictions on the number of poems in the team. Usually eight sentences, six of which are called short poems or three-meter poems, and more than ten are called parallel poems or long poems. The third is the specific dual requirements. Usually, a metrical poem consists of eight sentences, and every two sentences form a couplet, which is counted as a quadruple. The upper and lower sentences in the middle two couplets must be dual sentences. The fourth is to strictly demand rhyme and meter. Rhyme requires a rhyme in the whole poem, and the second, fourth, sixth and eighth sentences rhyme. Tones should be flat and relative. The shaping process in Tang Dynasty is different from the creative practice after shaping. For example, the first half of the Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao is antique, while the second half is harmonious. There are also deliberate irregularities that change the rules of leveling, which is called "difficult body" In addition to changing the levels of the second, fourth and sixth words, the third word of five words and the fifth word of seven words are also changed. Du Fu's creative strength is perfect and imitated by later generations.
4. Classical poetry is written according to 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. We can say. Anything that is not bound by the near-body meter is an ancient poem.
