The concept of metrical poems and quatrains 1. Metric poetry is a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry and is named because of its strict metrical requirements. Rhyme has strict rules in word, rhyme, even tone and antithesis. Its common types are five-character poems and seven-character poems.
For example: Li Bai's "seeing friends off"
There is a blue mountain range to the north of the city wall, and white water surrounds the lonely city.
Here we say goodbye to each other, and you, like losing your father, are floating in the wind and traveling far away.
Floating clouds are like wanderers, like wandering, and the sunset slowly goes down the mountain, which seems to be nostalgic.
With a wave of his hand, he will be separated from now on, and his friend on horseback will carry him on a long journey, blowing a long wind, as if reluctant to leave.
2. quatrains, also known as truncated sentences, broken sentences, short sentences and quatrains, belong to a form of modern poetry. There are different interpretations of it, and some people think that the "half-cutting method" is convenient for singing. Quatrains are composed of four sentences, which are divided into quatrains and archaic quatrains, among which quatrains have strict metrical requirements. Common quatrains include five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains, and six-character quatrains are rare.
Example: Li Duan's Listening to the Zheng.
Jin Su's guzheng makes a beautiful sound, and the beauty of guzheng sits in front of the jade house.
Trying to please Zhou Lang as much as possible, you see she deliberately dialed the wrong string.
The difference between metrical poems and quatrains is 1, with different sources. Rhyme originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was formed in the early Tang Dynasty, so it was named after its strict meter. Jueju originated in Han Dynasty, and ballads originated in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
2. The number of sentences is different. The quatrains are generally four sentences, five-character quatrains are twenty crosses, and seven-character quatrains are twenty-eight; Generally, there are eight verses, forty words for five-character verses and fifty-six words for seven-character verses. If there are only six sentences, it is called Xiaofa or Sanyun poem; More than eight sentences are called exclusive method or long method.
3. Different rhymes. Rhyme requires the whole poem to rhyme, and the rhyme is limited; The second, fourth, sixth and eighth sentences rhyme, and the first sentence can be taken or not. The quatrains only need two or four rhymes, and the first sentence can be played or closed.
