During the Spring Festival, the cultural program "Classic chanting" launched by CCTV's comprehensive channel received numerous praises and got a high score of 9.4 in Douban. The program "Harmony of Poetry and Songs" matches classical poetry with pop music. If last year's Chinese Poetry Conference showed the richness of poetry with words and knowledge, then Classic Poetry can be said to mobilize the audience's hearing and feelings to deeply experience the affinity and appeal of poetry.
Recitation is the correct way to open poetry.
"Yong" in ancient Chinese means "Yong". Poetry is endowed with "increment" in time by singing its meaning, "speaking long" and using special forms of expression and communication.
However, the "spread" way of Ode to Classics is not "classic", but it expresses poetry again in a way of "singing", as the host Sa Beining said in the first season, it is a "large-scale poetry culture and music program".
In fact, in ancient China, words were used to "sing", mainly music, supplemented by words; Poetry is to be recited: "Recitation" corresponds to modern poetry, that is, we are familiar with metrical poems and quatrains, and "Recitation" corresponds to ancient poems and essays with less strict metrical rules.
When we study and read 300 Tang poems, we will definitely hear "Learn 300 Tang poems by heart, even if we can't write them". Reciting is not only a way to learn and ponder the poems of predecessors, but also a way to create and publish our own poems.
It can be seen that the difference between "writing poems" and "reciting poems" is not obvious, and the transition from reciting other people's poems to reciting your own poems is also a natural result.
Flat lines are the basis of writing and reciting poems.
Poetry is an extremely exquisite and concise lyric literature, which mobilizes people's various senses and regulates people's different emotions. Many friends who want to learn to recite poems or write poems say that it is a big problem to distinguish flat tones, especially for northerners, because there are few tones in northern dialects now.
In modern Chinese, the syllable changes of Putonghua are divided into four tones, which are called "rising tone", "two tones", "three tones" and "four tones", and the corresponding tones are flat tone, rising tone and falling tone.
In the Middle Ages, Chinese tones were divided into flat tones, rising tones, falling tones and entering tones, among which flat tones were later divided into the above-mentioned yin-yang tones. Except for the flat tone, the other three types of rising tone, falling tone and entering tone belong to "Nuo"
With the development and change of pronunciation, Rusheng gradually disappeared and evolved into three tones, namely "Rusheng Sansheng". For example, the word "Bai" belonged to Rusheng in ancient times (as well as dialects in some modern areas), but it is obviously flat (upper and second tones) when read in Putonghua today.
Nowadays, modern people and foreigners' cognition of China's language features focuses on four tones and continuous reading-in fact, the key to poetry reading is to distinguish four tones from continuous reading, especially the entering tone in continuous reading.
The predecessors once made a "four-tone method" to help distinguish the sounds of words: "The sound level is not low, but the sound is strong." The sound of walking is clearly sad, and the sound of entering is short and urgent. "
Recite "a thousand people and a thousand cavities", but be affectionate.
In reciting, the most important thing is to show the characteristics of pronunciation and characters, which are urgent, urgent, short and urgent, otherwise it can only be regarded as reading or reading at most.
In addition to clearly reflecting the characteristics of entering tone characters, "flat and short" is also an important principle of chanting, and it is also necessary to abide by "speaking according to the words", chanting according to the pronunciation of the words, and pronouncing rhyming words according to the horizontal rhyme.
Because chanting is mostly passed down from mouth to mouth, the intonation of chanting is closely related to the local dialect, which will change to varying degrees in the process of circulation, so there is a saying that "a thousand people have a thousand tones".
Today, people often say that "Tang tune" has the widest influence and the most disseminators. Refers to Mr. Tang's (1865- 1954) intonation, which is a intonation method created by Mr. Tang according to the ancient prose theory of Tongcheng School.
Professor Wang of Taiwan Province National national cheng kung university pays attention to the intonation of different places. Every time he comes to the mainland to give a speech, he often demonstrates some intonations.
Different from Mr. Wang, the researcher of Semiconductor Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was a smash hit on the Internet not long ago, played "drinking", mainly "singing" with music. The characteristics of the characters have not been valued and embodied, but they have brought people a completely different experience.
Although the poetic expression of classical poetry is a popular singing method, it is still very different from chanting, but at least people know that there are many forms of expression in poetry. In fact, modern poetry recitation is only a tone sandhi of ancient poetry expression; Expressing poetry in the form of singing is also a tribute to high-quality traditional culture.
