Tang poetry is a masterpiece of wisdom by the Confucian scholars of the Tang Dynasty. Tang poetry is one of the precious cultural heritages of the Chinese nation and a pearl in the treasure house of Chinese culture. It has also had a great impact on the cultural development of many countries in the world and is of great help to future generations when they study the politics, folk customs, customs, and culture of the Tang Dynasty. Culture, etc. all have important reference significance.
The forms and styles of Tang poetry are colorful and innovative. It not only inherits the folk songs and Yuefu traditions of the Han and Wei dynasties, but also greatly develops the style of the song; it not only inherits the five- and seven-character ancient poems of the previous generation, but also develops into a long and epic narrative romance; it not only expands the five-character and seven-character poems The use of form also creates modern poetry with a particularly beautiful and neat style. Modern poetry was a new style poetry at that time. Its creation and maturity were a major event in the history of poetry development in the Tang Dynasty.
It has pushed the artistic features of syllable harmony and word refinement of my country's ancient poetry to unprecedented heights, and has found the most typical form for ancient lyric poetry. It is still particularly popular among the people today. However, the rhythmic poetry in modern poetry has strict metrical restrictions, which easily restricts the content of the poem and prevents free creation and development. This is a big flaw brought by its strengths. Extended information
There are mainly two types of ancient poetry in the Tang Dynasty: five-character poems and seven-character poems. There are also two types of modern poetry, one is called quatrains and the other is called rhymed poetry. Quatrains and rhymed poems are different in five words and seven words. Therefore, there are basically six basic forms of Tang poetry: five-character ancient poetry, seven-character ancient poetry, five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains, five-character rhymed poems, and seven-character rhymed poems. Archaic poetry has relatively broad requirements for rhyme and rhythm: in a poem, the number of sentences can be more or less, the chapters can be long or short, and the rhymes can be switched.
Modern style poetry has stricter requirements on rhyme and rhythm: the number of sentences in a poem is limited, that is, four quatrains and eight rhymed poems. The rhythm and rhyme of the words used in each poem have certain rules and rhymes. It cannot be converted; the rhymed poem also requires the middle four sentences to become antithetical. The style of ancient poetry was handed down from previous generations, so it is also called ancient style. Modern poetry has a strict rhythm, so some people also call it metrical poetry.
