Couplets, parallels, literary talents and others
(Prose)
Written several couplets for friends. Mr. Meng Chaochen carefully reviewed them and put forward revision suggestions. , whose sincerity is really appreciated. But literary issues seem to be like other issues. One hundred people have one hundred opinions. I would like to talk about some different opinions, express my own opinions, and discuss them with Mr. Chaochen.
Equation is an important factor in classical poetry. Since the advent of metrical poetry before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the issue of elevation has been raised in poetry forums; especially after the birth of long and short sentences-ci in the late Tang Dynasty, the issue of elevation in poetry has The requirements are more stringent. Because many poems at that time had to be set to music and sung, the level and level were very important to poetry.
It can be seen that Pingchi has always been a concept of sound and music.
Later, poetry and music gradually separated, and poetry became a purely literary genre; therefore, the requirements for flatness and obliqueness were no longer so strict. In the Northern Song Dynasty, one group of poets represented by Li Qingzhao and another group of poets represented by Su Shi had a dispute over this issue (graceful vs. bold). Li Qingzhao believed that rhythm and rhythm were the life of the art of poetry, and ridiculed Su Shi and others for their "discordant rhythm". The Su School believes that since poetry has been separated from music, as a literary and art form, it should focus on artistic conception and literary grace, and should not be too rigid in secondary standards such as level and obliqueness.
This debate had a great influence on later generations, and most people agreed with the views of the Su Dongpo school. But there are also a few stubborn people who put the cart before the horse and cut their feet to fit the shoes. Whenever they write or discuss poetry, they never forget the rhythm and rhythm, and they insist on it to the point of stubbornness. This situation has continued into modern times and modern times.
