Sentence patterns in ancient poetry

1. The sentence structure of poetry

1. Metrical poetry

The sentence structure of metrical poetry is mostly five-character or seven-character. The six-character metrical poetry is somewhat controversial. . Qiyan means Wuyan preceded by two opposite words of 平廄平. There are four basic sentence patterns of Wuyan:

a. Pingqipingping: 平平廄廄平

b. Flat rise and close style: flat, flat, flat, flat

c. Flat rise and close style: flat, flat

d. Flat rise and close style: flat, flat, flat.

2. Ancient style poetry

Ancient style poetry is more complicated, including three words, four words, five words, six words, seven words...

< p> In terms of syntactic structure, there are more sentence patterns, and Mr. Wang Li seems to have summarized dozens of various combinations of ping and oblique.

2. The sentence structure of the word

The short sentences of the word include one-word sentences, two-word sentences, and three-word sentences. For example, "Guizi Ballad" has one-word sentences and three-word sentences:

< p>Return. The embroidered flag is curled in the wind. Stop the teacher and lift the farewell cup again.

There are more four-character, five-character, six-character, and seven-character sentences, and the sentence structure is more varied.

There are usually 22 separate four-character sentences, such as Dajiang + going east, Northland + scenery; there are 13 structures: 揾 + tears of heroes.

The five-character sentence has 23 structures, such as: bright moon + when will it appear; there are 32 structures. For example: a sound + more bitterness; there are also 14 structures, such as: gradually + frosty wind and miserable tightness.

The six-character sentences often have 24 or 42 structures, such as: one piece + Shencrowshegu; there are also 33 structures: Dufushu, Ying and Yan.

The seven-character sentences have structures such as 43, 25, 34, and 16, for example: Yugu Taixia + clear river water; I don’t know + the palace in the sky; the willow bank + the dawn wind and the waning moon; read + go and go thousands of miles away.

The eight-character sentence and the nine-character sentence can also be seen as a combination of two sentences:

The eight-character sentence: start over + clean up the old mountains and rivers;

The nine-character sentence is like: just like + A river of spring water flows eastward

Conclusion

The sentence structure of the poem is more changeable than that of ancient poetry, so it is not easy to be the same.

However, there are only four basic sentence patterns in metrical poetry that are used repeatedly, so you must pay attention to the changes in the rhythm of the meter
