Metric poems are generally eight sentences each, and more than eight sentences are called parallel sentences or long sentences. An eight-sentence metrical poem, every two sentences are linked together, is called quadruple. Traditionally, the first couplet is the first couplet, the second couplet is the parallel couplet, the third couplet is the neck couplet, and the fourth couplet is the tail couplet. The upper sentence of each couplet is called a sentence, the lower sentence is called a sentence, and the two sentences form a sentence relationship; The relationship between prepositional antithesis sentence and prepositional sentence is called adjacent sentence relationship.
The number of words in a metrical poem is uniform, and each sentence is five or seven words, which are called five-word metrical poem and seven-word metrical poem respectively. The five laws stipulate that every sentence has five words, and the first word is forty words; The seven laws stipulate that each sentence has seven words and the whole sentence has fifty-six words. There are also six-character sentences, all of which begin with 48 characters. They are called six-character poems, and there are few handed down works.
2. Rhyme is very strict
The rhyme feet are usually flat and must be rhymed according to the words in the rhyme book. In principle, only the original rhyme can be used, not the adjacent rhyme; Even if it is a little looser, the adjacent rhyme can only use the first sentence of rhyme, which is called "borrowing rhyme"
Rhyme also requires the whole poem to rhyme, that is, the ending rhymes, and the middle rhyme is not allowed. The second, fourth, sixth and eighth sentences rhyme, and the first sentence can be taken or not. The five laws take the first sentence as a positive example and rhyme as an example; The seven laws take the rhyme of the first sentence as a positive example, and the non-rhyme as a variant.
3. Pay attention to leveling.
The sentence pattern and the level of each sentence in metrical poetry have rules to follow: pay attention to adhesion and correctness. Allow the rhyme in a broad sense to lose its adhesion, and not in a narrow sense. "Sticking" is a violation of the rule that the second word of the linking sentence is the same as the second word of the linking sentence.
Step 4 ask for confrontation
These four verses all have a specific name. The first couplet is called the first couplet, the second couplet is called the platoon couplet, the third couplet is called the neck couplet and the fourth couplet is called the tail couplet. The upper and lower sentences of every metrical poem are antithetical sentences, and the first couplet and the last couplet can be right or wrong.
Extended data
Usually, there are only eight lines in each rhyme, but there are also several lines that are more than eight lines, and every two lines of rhyme are connected together. Take an eight-sentence rhyme as an example. The first two lines are connected together, which is called "the first line", and the third and fourth lines are called "the second line".
Five or six sentences are "neck couplet" and seven or eight sentences are "tail couplet". The upper and lower sentences of each couplet are called "sentence output" and "antithesis" respectively, and the former and the latter are called "adjacent sentences".
In classical poetry, the form of classical poetry is the freest, the songs are slightly stricter, the words are stricter, and the metrical poetry is the strictest. Among them, metrical poetry is stricter than quatrains, requiring only words, rhymes and even lines, but metrical poetry also has strict regulations on antithesis, at least requiring antithesis of couplets and necklaces.
