What is the level of seven-character poetry?

Flat tone is another important factor in metrical poetry. When we say metrical poems, we mainly mean even tones. Flat tone is a term of poetic meter: the poet divides the four tones of Chinese into two categories, "flat" refers to flat tone (including Yin Ping and Yang Ping), and "flat" includes three tones: up, down and inside. If even sounds appear alternately in poetry, it can diversify the tones and achieve the phonological effect of "harmony". This kind of "interlacing" includes: 1, flat and even words appear alternately in this sentence, and 2, flat and even words exist in the antithesis sentence. For example, "Jinsha River is warm in the clouds and cliffs, and Dadu Bridge is cold in the hurdles." The levels of these two poems are "levels and levels, levels and levels, levels and levels". As far as this sentence is concerned, every word has a rhythm. Pingping's sentence is followed by Xu Wei, followed by Pingping, and the last one is Xu Wei. When you start a sentence, it is flat, followed by flat, and finally flat. This is alternation. As far as sentences are concerned, "Jinsha" is flat to "Dadu", "Shuipai" is flat to "Qiaodu" and "Yunya" is flat to "Tiesuo". This is opposition.

According to the requirements of Pinge, there are only two fixed basic forms of regular poetry in this respect. They are:

(1) Five Laws:

1, starting type

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

2. Flat type

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

(2) Seven Laws

1, starting type

Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping Pingping. Plain, plain, plain.

Flat and light, flat and light. Plain, plain, plain.

2. Flat type

Flat and light, flat and light. Flat and light, flat and light.

Plain, plain, plain. Flat and light, flat and light.

Of course, there are many other formats that can be changed, and you don't need to know them one by one.

Rhyme also has special requirements for flat tones, mainly as follows:

First, there is a law of "sticking to the right" in the leveling of regular poems. "Right" means opposition, which has been mentioned above and will not be repeated here. "Sticky" means flat and sticky; The fluency of the second word of the subsequent sentence should be consistent with that of the previous sentence. Specifically, the third sentence should adhere to the second sentence, the fifth sentence to the fourth sentence, and the seventh sentence to the sixth sentence. The five-law flat format and seven-law flat format mentioned above all conform to this law. Look at Chairman Mao's Long March. "The Red Army is not afraid of the expedition, and Qianshan is just idle. Wuling winds through the waves, and Wumeng walks away with mud balls. Jinsha River is warm in the clouds and cliffs, and Dadu Bridge is cold with the cross rail. I like the snow in the mountains, and I will open my eyes after the three armies. " The word "water" in the second sentence is not pronounced, and the word "ridge" in the third sentence is not pronounced; The word "Meng" in the fourth sentence is flat, and the word "Sha" in the fifth sentence is also flat; The word "Du" in the sixth sentence is not pronounced, nor is the word "Xi" in the seventh sentence pronounced. It can be seen that the rules of "posting" are very strict. The function of matching is to diversify the timbre. If it is not "right", the level of the upper and lower sentences will be the same; If you don't "paste", the horizontal lines of the front and back couplets will be almost the same. Understanding and adhering to the correct principles can help us recite Pingping's lyrics (that is, the format). As long as you know the level of the first sentence, you can recite the level of the whole article. Understanding and adhering to the correct principles can help us understand the level of long law. No matter how long the law is, it is only in accordance with the rules of sticking to the hierarchy. Violation of adhesion rules is called loss of adhesion; Violation of the correct rules is called mismatch.

Second, the taboo of "loneliness" in metrical poems. Loneliness is the taboo of metrical poetry, so the poet should pay attention to avoiding loneliness when writing metrical poetry. In the five-character "Pingou" sentence pattern, the first word must be flat; If you use the word "slander", you are alone. Because in addition to rhyme, there is only one flat word left. Seven characters are the expansion of five characters, so in the sentence pattern of "occasionally flat, occasionally flat", if the third word is even, it is also called loneliness. If the first word of five words and the third word of seven words must be ambiguous, then remedial measures must be taken (see below).

Third, the "difficult to survive" in metrical poems. Every flat and irregular sentence is called an embarrassing sentence. Use the word "embarrassed" in front and "save" in the back. The so-called "salvation" means compensation. Generally speaking, the flat sound is used in the front where it should be used, and the flat sound must be compensated (or often compensated) in the back. The specific ways of "rescue" are extremely complicated, and we don't need to know them one by one.

Fourth, the statement that "135 is irrelevant, 246 is clear". There is a saying about the leveling of metrical poems: "No matter what 135 is, 246 is clear." This refers to the seven methods (including seven sections). This means that the levels of the first, third and fifth characters can be arbitrary, while the levels of the second, fourth and sixth characters must be different. As for the seventh word, natural requirements are very high. As far as the five-character rhyme is concerned, it should be "whether one or three, two or four are clear." This formula is very useful for beginners because it is simple and clear. However, its analysis of the problem is not comprehensive, which is easy to cause misunderstanding. It is not comprehensive to say "135 regardless" first. In the five-character "flat" format, the first word can't be ignored, and in the seven-character "flat" format, the third word can't be ignored, otherwise it will make a big taboo of loneliness. As for the third word of five words and the fifth word of seven words, on the whole, it is based on the principle of "theory" In short, a seven-character sentence can have three words regardless, and a flat-tone sentence can only have two words regardless. Five sentences can have two words regardless, and only one word can be ignored in Pingruo sentences. It is wrong to say "135". Moreover, the sentence "246 is clear" is not comprehensive. The word "distinct" in five words is correct, and the word "distinct" in seven words is correct. As for the fourth word in five words and the sixth word in seven words, it is not necessarily "clear". For example, the format of "Pingdui" can also be changed to "Pingdui", and it is enough to compensate a flat tone in the third word of the sentence. Seven words and so on. The words "246 clear" are not completely correct.
