Seven-character quatrains are a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. This poetic style originated from Yuefu songs in the Southern Dynasties or Yuefu folk songs in the Northern Dynasties, or can be traced back to folk songs in the Western Jin Dynasty, and it matured in the Tang Dynasty.
Seven-character quatrains belong to modern poems with strict metrical requirements. The first is fixed length. The whole poem consists of four sentences, each with seven words, totaling * * * 28 words. Secondly, the rhyme is rigorous, usually only flat, not rhyming. Also pay attention to the level tone, that is, it is required to conform to the level tone law, that is, under normal circumstances, two syllables (two words) are a step, and the level tone is alternately arranged.
According to the level of the first two words in the first sentence, seven-character quatrains can be divided into two categories: upgrading and upgrading. Among them, there are two types of flat-rising: one is flat-rising and flat-receiving, and the first sentence rhymes; Second, the first sentence doesn't rhyme. There are also two types of pouting: one is to flatten out and rhyme the first sentence; Second, from beginning to end, the first sentence doesn't rhyme. According to Pinglv, seven-character quatrains have four standard sentence patterns.
Appreciate:
There are five place names in the poem, which are ingenious and untraceable, so the poetic landscape gradually unfolds a map of the Shu River for readers.
Apart from the "Emei Mountain Moon", there is almost no more specific description of the scenery in the poem; Except for the word "four kings", there is no lyric. However, the artistic image of "Emei Mountain Moon" runs through the whole poetic realm and becomes a catalyst for poetic sentiment.
It has rich implications: the mountains and the moon accompany Wan Li, which can be seen every night, making the feeling of "missing you" deeper and deeper. The bright moon is approachable and unattainable, which is a symbol of missing friends. Where there is a bright moon singing, where there is a feeling of missing friends in the river, which is intoxicating.
Using five place names in a row, the trip is in a delicate place, which is both heroic and homesick, and the language flows naturally. The poetic scene is permeated with the poet's experience of swimming in the river and his yearning for his friends, and the symbolic artistic images of mountains and moons run through everywhere.
