Ancient poetry is a unique style of Chinese, with special format and rhythm. Poetry can be divided into classical poetry and modern poetry according to rhythm. Classical poetry and modern poetry are concepts formed in the Tang Dynasty, which are divided from the perspective of poetic rhythm. According to the content, it can be divided into narrative poems, lyric poems, farewell poems, frontier poems, pastoral poems, nostalgic poems (poems about history) and poems about things.
Ancient poetry refers to a verse genre with specific metrical norms formed around the Qing Dynasty. This genre is divided into two categories: poetry and ci. From the time of formation, the formation of words is later than that of poems. Classical poetry refers to the poems of various periods before the Tang Dynasty, such as the chapters and sentences in the Book of Songs, the chapters and sentences of Chu Ci, and Yuefu poems in the Han Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Modern poetry is a kind of poetry with neat sentences and strict meter, which was gradually formed in the Tang Dynasty. Generally, it is five or seven words, and the two sentences are connected together and rhyme with each other, which usually can balance the rhyme. Among them, two sentences are combined into a poem, that is, four sentences are called "quatrains", five sentences are called "five-character quatrains" or "five quatrains" for short, and seven sentences are called "seven quatrains".
There are four chapters, namely, eight sentences and one song, which are called "regular poems", five words called "five laws" and seven words called "seven laws". These two types are the most common in modern poetry.
Expression skills:
There are many ways to express ancient poems, which were first popular in China, and the traditional way to express them is "Fu, Bi and Xing". "Preface to Mao Poetry" said: "Therefore, poetry has six meanings: one is wind, the other is fu, the third is comparison, the fourth is pride, the fifth is elegance and the sixth is fu." In the meantime, there is a quatrain called: "Three lights, the sun, the moon and the stars, and four poems are elegant."
In the six meanings, "style, elegance and praise" refers to the types of poems in the Book of Songs, and "Fu, Bi and Xing" are the expressions in poems. Seven-character ancient poems are referred to as seven ancient poems; The use of three, five and seven characters at the same time is generally considered as seven ancient characters.
