Why should the same word be used repeatedly in poetry? What are the advantages of using overlap? I think the benefits are at least the following:
Can increase the rhythm and rhetoric of poetry. Such as "All the way Altair":
Distant Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan girl. Skillful hands, make a loom. There is no chapter all day, and tears are pouring down. The river is clear and shallow, how much is the difference! Between water and water, there are no words.
This poem is about a cowherd and a weaver girl. The whole poem is sentimental and touching. The poem "Yi * *" uses six overlapping words, which makes it read naturally and smoothly, and increases the beauty of rhythm and rhetoric of the poem. It can describe the natural scenery more vividly and achieve the realm of scene blending.
Let's take a look at Wang Wei's poem "An egret flies over a quiet wetland, and a mango bird sings in a tree in midsummer" ("Wangchuan cabin after my long rain"). The ancients caused a heated debate about these two poems. Many people think that Wang Wei copied Li's poems. The difference is that the words "desert" and "Yin Yin" are added to these two sentences. Hu Yinglin in the Ming Dynasty disagreed with this statement. He said: Wang Wei lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Li lived in the middle Tang Dynasty. How can predecessors copy the poems of future generations? Hu Yinglin's statement makes sense, so he proudly said, "Lai Mao's thousand years of grievances have been repaid. Exhale if you have spirit. " It is worth noting that everyone thinks that "desert" and "Yin Yin" are well used. Even people who think they copied Li Jiayou's poems think that these two overlapping words are "added" well. For example, Xie Zhen said, "Add these four words, and Hao Jian will be different"; Ye Mengde said: "The words" Mo Yin Mo Yin "are added to these two sentences, which is a wonderful way to touch one's own beauty. For example, Li Guangbi gave orders to the Guo Ziyi army, which was wonderful several times. " In these two poems, "desert" is used to describe the wide distribution and vastness of rice fields. "Yin Yin" refers to the gloomy summer woods. When these two overlapping words are used, the specific weather of rice fields and trees in summer is vividly displayed.
Liu Xie spoke highly of the function of reduplication in describing natural scenery. He once took the Book of Songs as an example to explain, saying, "Burning peaches and plums,' Yi Yi' is like a willow,' winding' is like the posture of the sun,' lingering' is like rain and snow, and' eyah' drives away the sound of yellow birds", and he thought, "Although it has been reconsidered for thousands of years, when will it be easy to take it?" That is to say, even if we consider it for a thousand years, it is difficult to change it into a more suitable word than these overlapping words.
In poetry, emotion and scenery often blend together. Overlap just helps poetry to achieve the realm of scene blending. For example, "it's not enough to pick up the curly ears and make a basket. I'll go when I'm pregnant (chapter 1 of curly ears)." It means that a girl misses her husband far away when she picks her curly ears. She could have filled the basket quickly, but she didn't fill it for long. Finally, she simply put the basket on the road and stopped picking it up. Why is this? Because she misses her husband far away, she has no mind to curl her ears. In just a few words, I wrote about the scenery and the inner feelings of the characters. Another example is Nan Zhou:
Pick and choose, pick and choose. Pick and choose, fine print.
Take a look, to make a long story short. Pick and choose, and smooth with fine words.
Pick and choose, and Pu Yanxi will pick it up. Pick and choose, Pu Yanxi will praise it.
This poem uses overlapping words before each sentence, and the whole poem shows the happy scene of women at work. Reading this poem, we seem to see the beautiful labor scene and hear the happy songs of working women. As Fang Yurun said, "I listened to this poem and listened to the women of the family. In the plain wilderness, the songs of the sunny days are answered, and the echoes are lingering. If it is far away, it suddenly stops to continue. I don't know why his feelings move and why God is wide. " This poem is really vivid, vivid and wonderful.
Overlapping can express the thoughts and feelings in poetry more deeply. Overlap plays an important role not only in the form of poetry, but also in the content of poetry. Can deepen the thoughts and feelings in poetry. For example, at the beginning of the song "Mulan Poetry" sung in the Northern Dynasties, "Haw answers haw, Mulan weaves for households." Haw is another sigh. Why did Mulan sigh? Because she "saw the military whistle last night" and the military whistle "has the name of the Lord", the government wants to recruit her father as a soldier. Therefore, starting with the word "haw" is not only the need of phonology and rhetoric, but also the need to show the story and deepen the ideological content. This sigh suddenly exposed the contradiction, opened the prelude to the plot of the poem, showed Mulan's initial emotional state as a father, and enriched the atmosphere of the poem. Therefore, the reduplication of "Haw" is very useful for the ideological content and plot development of the whole poem. There are many advantages to using overlap, but it is not easy to use overlap well. Gu once said that reduplication is the most difficult to use in poetry. Wei Shi's words "The river is full of water, the north flows, the flowers grow old and the vines grow evil" have been used six times, which can be described as repeated, tireless and not chaotic. The ancient poem "Grass by the Qingqing River, Willow in the Depressed Garden". Yingying is a woman upstairs, with bright windows, plain red makeup and delicate hands. It is also natural to use six words in a row. No one continues. 6. From Gu's words, we can get a little inspiration, that is, the use of reduplicated words needs to be natural, and it needs to be "repeated but not greasy"-although repeated, it does not make people feel bored. For example, in the poem "Grass by the Qingjiang River", six sentences are connected with overlapping words. Because it is used "naturally", it makes people feel that "six words overlap without knowing it".
Reduplication first appeared in people's spoken language. For example, reduplicated words such as "happy", "cooing" and "cold and clear" and monosyllabic reduplicated words such as "red", "smile", "tears" and "thousands of miles away" are all commonly used words in spoken language. Some double reduplicated words can be used separately, such as "happy" and "happy", but single reduplicated words cannot be disassembled, such as "smile" and "thousands of miles away" cannot be disassembled as "thousands of miles away". There are also double reduplications in classical poetry. Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip uses "noisy and earnest" to describe the sound of pipa; In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Xiqi's poem On the Boat described the sound of beating wheat with Pumbaa spirit and the sound of spinning rickshaws with dumb grinding. However, due to metrical restrictions and other reasons, ordinary literati poems only use a single reduplication, which is difficult to disassemble. Someone once said, "Reduplication can't be analyzed, for example, poetry is' leisurely' and clouds are' leisurely',' far' and clouds are' far',' misty' and clouds are' misty'. These are not idioms." This statement is generally correct.
To make good use of overlap, we need to absorb nutrients from popular language, draw materials from life to stimulate enthusiasm, and also start from the need to create artistic images. If there is no real life content, lack of passionate feelings inspired by life, or not from the need to create artistic images, it must be for overlapping. In this way, the more overlapping words are used, the more awkward they will appear. Therefore, it is of great benefit to use reduplication well; If you don't use it well, it will be repeated and disgusting.
