Baota poem is a kind of miscellaneous poems, which has a unique style and description. As the name implies, it looks like a pagoda. Starting from the top of one or two sentences, extending downward, gradually increasing the number of words until the end of the bottom of seven sentences, and so on, forming an isosceles triangle, such as a tower shape and a mountain shape. The first word is both a poetic title and a poetic rhyme. Baota poem, formerly known as "one-word to seven-character poem", is also called "one-seven-style poem". From one word to seven words, sentence by sentence into rhyme, or two sentences into rhyme, very regular. Later, some of them were increased to cross or even fifteen characters.
brief introduction
Baota poems begin with one sentence and increase the number of words in turn, from one sentence to seven sentences to form a rhyme, and the two sentences overlap into a rhyme. One to seven words, the antithesis is neat, easy to read, harmonious in sound and rhyme, and lively in rhythm, like the feeling of "Kun Peng flying high". The number of words increases sentence by sentence like this. If the whole poem is written horizontally, it looks like an ancient pagoda, with a wide bottom and a top, and the middle shrinks step by step like an isosceles triangle.
origin
The earliest prototype of Baota poetry began in Sui Dynasty. Shi Huiying has a poem with the word 13579 as proof. Among them, one word to seven words are also called "seventeen-style" poems, and if they are pagoda words, they are called "seventeen orders" (epigraph). This kind of "seventeen-style" poems (some from one to nine or one to horizontal) not only set the title and rhyme, but also take the reference as the title, and the title and rhyme are combined to the end. Poets or things are shaped, or things are used to express their feelings. Every sentence is in pairs. The first word (also the first sentence) is not only a title, but also a rhyme, and it also stipulates the object and scope of the whole poem description. The second word is often a repetition of the first word. The other six pairs rhyme every other sentence. Seventeen-style poetry is characterized by compact interpretation and neat antithesis, which forms the unique structural beauty of poetry. After reading, it is thought-provoking and interesting.
trait
The formal beauty of Baota poetry has a great influence on the development of new poetry in later generations. As recorded in the history of modern literature, famous poets such as Hu Shi, Guo Moruo, Xu Zhimo and Bing Xin. They have all used the form of arranging cables such as pagodas and stairs when creating new poems, which are novel and unique. Mr. Wen Yiduo once put forward the theory of "three beauties" of poetry, namely, the beauty of music, painting and architecture. Among them, the beauty of music emphasizes the rhythm of poetry, the beauty of painting emphasizes the artistic conception of poetry, and the beauty of architecture emphasizes the form of poetry. This is worth popularizing and emulating. Take the poem of Baota as an example, it has really exerted unparalleled artistic charm in different periods, times and occasions, and has become a popular poem style among the people.
classify
Baota poems can be divided into single-tower poems, double-tower poems and special-shaped tower poems according to their forms. In terms of reading methods, people call Baota poems read from top to bottom as Baota poems, while those that are interwoven, inverted, palindrome or circuitous take different names, such as fiery red poems, flying geese (flying geese in clear sky) and overlapping Cui poems.
The original name of Baota Poetry is "Seventeen-style Poetry". Because it is a poem with one sentence to seven sentences and one sentence to seven sentences, I still choose two sentences as the rhyme. The first sentence is a word, but it is actually a topic, which rhymes to the end. Because of its irregular sentence patterns, Baota poems pay attention to meter, and later generations regard it as a word, with the name of "17th order" as a epigraph. Later, this style increased to cross-sentence or fifteen sentences, and the number of words in each sentence or every two sentences was increased by one word in turn. For example:
One to seven words (minaret poem)
dull
A scholar, an outstanding talent
(of Buddhist believers) abstain from meat and fish all year round.
A beard full of cheeks
Scriptures can't be opened.
Paper and pencils are arranged by themselves.
Come uninvited next year.
