The title of a poem, like the eyes of a dragon, has always been valued by poets. Tang poetry is highly prosperous, so the ways of titles are particularly rich. Common ones are as follows:
1, give a topic according to the content and the process of writing poetry. For example, Wang Luobin's Political Prisoners Listen to Cicada and Wang Bo's Zhou Shu.
2. Group several poems with the same form or theme and give them a general theme. For example, Chen Ziang has 38 poems about "experience" and Li Bai has 59 poems about "ancient style".
3. Follow the old topic of Yuefu in Han and Wei Dynasties. For example, Li Bai's Ding Du Hugh is the name of "Song Wusheng" in Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties.
4. Taking the first word of the article as the title of the poem can't sum up the content of the whole poem, but it is helpful for memorizing and reciting, such as Yan by Han Yu and Qingming by Du Mu.
The history of poetry:
Our ancestors, primitive humans, could not understand many natural phenomena, such as wind, rain, thunder and electricity, so they all belonged to the gods. Primitive humans sang and danced to the gods out of awe, expressing people's expectations-good weather, abundant crops and so on. This is the origin of poetry.
It comes from religion and labor. Primitive people made simple and rhythmic cries while working, so as to forget the temporary pain and spirit brought by labor and coordinate their actions. Gradually, this simple and rhythmic cry has developed into a poem that imitates the voice of labor itself and expresses the feelings of workers themselves.
