How to read the poems of the pagoda?

Read from top to bottom and from left to right. Baota poems begin with one sentence and increase the number of words in turn, from one sentence to seven sentences to form a rhyme, and the two sentences overlap into a rhyme. One to seven words, the antithesis is neat, easy to read, harmonious in melody and lively in rhythm, like the feeling of "Kun Peng flying high" The number of words increases sentence by sentence like this. If the whole poem is written horizontally, it looks like an ancient pagoda, with a wide bottom and a top, and the middle shrinks step by step like an isosceles triangle.

The formal beauty of Baota poetry has a great influence on the development of new poetry in later generations.

They have all used the form of arranging cables such as pagodas and stairs when creating new poems, which are novel and unique.

Mr. Wen Yiduo once put forward the theory of "three beauties" of poetry, namely, the beauty of music, painting and architecture.

origin

The earliest prototype of Baota poetry began in the Sui Dynasty, and Sui Huiying had a poem of 13579 as proof. Among them, one word to seven words are also called "seventeen-style" poems, and if they are pagoda words, they are called "seventeen orders" (epigraph). This kind of "seventeen-style" poems (some from one to nine or one to horizontal) not only set the title and rhyme, but also take the reference as the title, and the title and rhyme are combined to the end.

Poets or things are shaped, or things are used to express their feelings. Every sentence is in pairs. The first word (also the first sentence) is not only a title, but also a rhyme, and it also stipulates the object and scope of the whole poem description. The second word is often a repetition of the first word. The other six pairs rhyme every other sentence. Seventeen-style poetry is characterized by compact interpretation and neat antithesis, which forms the unique structural beauty of poetry. After reading, it is thought-provoking and interesting.
