Modern poetry, on the other hand, is a metrical style formed in the Tang Dynasty, which is based on ancient poetry and strictly abides by the metrical style of flat and flat. Modern poetry is higher than classical poetry in format, because with the standardization of phonological meter, the basic mistakes in pronunciation are completely avoided. A modern poem, as long as it is qualified, must have no phonological errors, be fresh and natural, cadence and catchy. This is a mandatory promotion after the specification is generated.
Relatively speaking, classical poetry pays less attention to the level and even the meter, but it is only relative.
We say that classical poetry doesn't pay attention to flat and even meter, and some friends will say, no, we usually read Thoughts on a Quiet Night, which has smooth rhyme and full charm. We didn't feel the blockage of pronunciation when reciting Difficult Shu Dao, and the expression of feelings was still very smooth. When reciting "Into the Wine", "How the water of the Yellow River moves out of the sky" is full of atmosphere and feelings.
So, is it completely unnecessary to have a flat and even meter in modern poetry?
Of course not.
Poetry is verse, a perfect combination of melody and artistic conception.
Modern poetry written according to the rules does not need to consider whether there is a problem with the rhythm, but whether the writing is clever, whether the words are elegant and beautiful, and whether the meaning is subtle and long. These are the fundamental reasons why a modern poem is good or not.
What about classical poetry? Today, we see ancient poems, all of which have been eliminated for thousands of years. The first level is whether they are suitable for word of mouth. Although the ancient poems in Tang Dynasty did not conform to the even meter, there were four tones in front of them and Bai Fan in front of them. When there was no Chinese phonology in front of them, the ancient poems were still in the stage of Han Yuefu, Shijing and Chuci, and they existed entirely by music, without the fluctuation of Chinese tone.
Just like our popular lyrics today, did you pay attention to the tones of those Chinese characters when singing?
No, because musicality replaces the tone fluctuation of Chinese characters themselves.
As an independent chanting style without music, ancient poems will be eliminated after thousands of years if they don't work hard on phonology. Therefore, classical poetry doesn't pay attention to phonology, but he just doesn't insist on flat and even metrical.
A recited poem, even a modern poem, can last for more than a few hours from its formation to its death without fluctuation of tone. How many audiences can you spread from the author to the readers?
The same is true of classical poetry. What I can hear today are all good works that conform to the pronunciation of Chinese characters and come from the heart. On the basis of these beautiful and natural works, the flat rhythm of near-physique rhythmic poetry is a simple phonological system of modern poetry creation.
Therefore, although ancient poetry is not flat, it must conform to the tone system of Chinese characters. Poetry that doesn't conform to our usual tone of voice is unnatural. We read a stuttering work with no ups and downs in tone. Are you still interested in reading his content?
Classical poetry is characterized by verse, which has a sense of rhythm and rhyme. But the rhyme is loose, the length of the poem is not limited, and the rhyme foot can be changed at any time. Unlike modern poetry, rhyme must be graceful and graceful.
There is no requirement for antithesis, dual can be used, and the format is relatively loose, regardless of rank and relative part of speech. The writing is simple and elegant, and the language is simple and fresh. This is because Gao Gu's language system is not perfect, but it has formed a set of artistic conception that makes people feel Gu Zhuo for a long time.
In fact, these characteristics are relative to the later modern poems and inscriptions, which are more advanced and refined literary forms.
Later, when the meter matured, the sentences with uneven length basically became meter sentences, because meter is the simplest way to hear. This kind of sentence only has rhythm and rhyme, and the antithesis only conforms to the ancient poetic style, which we call "metrical ancient".
With the continuous progress and refinement of social culture and the irreversible changes of poetic images, it is difficult to reproduce the real "ancient poetry". Today's imitation, in any case, can not get rid of the greasy gas of industrial society.
As for those ancient words piled up, I don't know what I wrote about the so-called "ancient style" in the new era, but it's just Hanfu under the industrial assembly line.
