Haiku is a Japanese classical short poem, which consists of 17 syllables of "575". Taking the three sentences of 17 as a song, the first sentence has five tones, the second sentence has seven tones and the last sentence has five tones, which is also called the shortest literature in the world.
Unlike even-numbered antitheses in Tang poetry, haiku often expresses feelings and confides in 17 syllables.
Characteristics of haiku:
There must be seasonal language in Japanese haiku. The so-called seasonal language refers to the seasonal language used to express the new year in spring, summer, autumn and winter. In seasonal languages, besides "summer rain" and "snow", there are also animal and plant names such as "cherry blossom" and "cicada".
In addition, customs and habits such as "lucky money" and "Yang Chun noodles" in Japanese haiku are also widely used. The "seasonal language" in these Japanese haiku usually carries the nostalgia of modern Japanese for childhood or hometown.
