Five thousand years of Chinese culture has gone through hardships, ups and downs, and twists and turns. Now that the cultures of the other three ancient civilizations in the world have disappeared, Chinese culture, with its amazing perseverance, has continued to flourish generation after generation. has been passed down and developed better and better. Chinese culture is different from the culture of other countries, or what makes it more prosperous than other countries' cultures is its poetry culture, although the cultures of other countries also have themes similar to modern poetry and poetry. But in terms of its long history and cultural richness and diversity, Chinese culture should be the first in the world. China's poetic culture has had three hundred poems since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which can be summed up in one sentence: The Book of Songs. Later, the rise and improvement of the imperial examination system pushed poetry culture to a new peak. Tang poetry and Song lyrics can be recited and read, and they are catchy.
In the rich and varied poetry culture, ancient poetry actually has its own categories. The two largest categories are ancient poetry and metrical poetry. A way of dividing is according to the chronological order of the emergence of the two poetry styles. Ancient poetry appeared earlier and has a longer history, while metrical poetry slowly appeared, evolved and matured after ancient poetry.
Another way to judge the classification is based on the biggest characteristics of the two, that is, whether they should be distinguished according to the oblique rhythm. The reason why metrical poetry is called metrical poetry is that each line of the poem has strict evaluation requirements. It can neither have three flat tails nor three square tails. There are strict instructions for flat and square or square and square. Compared with ancient poetry, its degree of difficulty is higher.
It is precisely because metrical poetry has strict requirements on meter that this style of poetry will be catchy when read, and you can also compose a tune and sing it when reciting it. It was a popular style in ancient times. A poetic style. When modern people imitate poetry writing, most of them also learn to write metrical poetry. When learning metrical poetry, the teacher will have such a requirement, that is, you must not be guilty of loneliness. The so-called "Guping" means that in this line of poetry, except for the ending word "Ping", there are no other "Ping" sounds. This is called "Guping" and "Guping" is also a taboo in metrical poetry. Because when such a poem is recited, there is no sense of ups and downs in tone, and it is all flat, which will greatly reduce the beauty and is not conducive to the expression and expression of emotions when singing in harmony.
