How to classify poems? Urgent! ! ! ! ! ! Please, everyone, 3Q
The classification criteria of poetry are various, which can be divided into times and genres. It can be divided into different types of poems according to both content and expression, and the problem is quite complicated. The editor of 3 Tang Poems divides poems into three categories: ancient poems, regular poems and quatrains, and all three categories are accompanied by Yuefu. Ancient poems, regular poems and quatrains are divided into five words and seven words respectively. This is a division. The classification of Shen Deqian's Biecai of Tang Poetry is slightly different: he did not make Yuefu independent, but added a category of five-word long law. Du Fu's poems compiled by Guo Zhida in Song Dynasty are simply divided into two categories: ancient poems and modern poems. Now let's try to discuss the above three classifications with reference to other classifications. From the metrical point of view, poetry can be divided into modern poetry of classical poetry. Ancient poetry is also called ancient poetry or ancient style; Modern poetry is also called modern poetry. From the word count, there are four-character poems, five-character poems, seven-character poems and rare six-character poems. After the Tang Dynasty, four-character poems were rare, so general poetry collections were only divided into five-character poems and seven-character poems. The ancient poetry and the modern ancient poetry are written according to the ancient poetic style. In the eyes of the Tang people, from the Book of Songs to the Geng Xin of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it is ancient. Therefore, there is no certain standard for imitating ancient poetry. However, the ancient poems written by poets are consistent in one thing, that is, they are not bound by the rhythm of modern poetry. We can say that all poems that are not bound by the rhythm of modern poetry are ancient poems. Yuefu came into being in the Han Dynasty, which was originally accompanied by music, so it was called Yuefu or Yuefu Poetry. This kind of Yuefu poetry is called "Qu", "Ci", "Song" and "Xing". After the Tang Dynasty, ancient poems written by literati imitating this style were also called "Yuefu", but they were no longer dubbed. As new music was gradually formed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, lyrics with new music were later produced, which were called "Ci". Ci probably originated in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In a transitional period after the decline of Yuefu and before the emergence of Ci, modern poetry was adopted as the lyrics with new music. Wei Cheng Qu by Wang Wei and Qing Ping Diao by Li Bai are all forms of modern poetry. Modern poetry is represented by regular poetry. There are many stresses on the rhyme, level tone and antithesis of regular poems. Because the meter is very strict, it is called metrical poetry. Rhyme has the following four characteristics: a. Each poem is limited to eight sentences, with five laws of * * * forty words and seven laws of * * fifty-six words; B. level the rhyme; C. the level of each sentence has provisions; D. each article must have antithesis, and the position of antithesis is also stipulated. There is a kind of metrical poem with more than eight sentences, which is called long law. Long law is naturally a modern poem. The long law is generally five words, and the number of rhymes is often indicated on the topic. For example, Du Fu's "Thirty-six Rhymes of Sleeping on a Boat in a Storm" is 36 words; Bai Juyi's "A Hundred Rhymes of Poems on behalf of Books" is a thousand words. This kind of long law uses antithesis except tail couplet (or head and tail couplet), so it is also called exclusive law. A quatrain is half as few words as a regular poem. Five-character quatrains are only twenty crosses, and seven-character quatrains are only twenty-eight. In fact, quatrains can be divided into two categories: ancient quatrains and strict quatrains. You can use rhyme in ancient times. Even if it is rhymed, it is not bound by the rules of leveling in modern poetry. This can be classified as classical poetry. Rhythm not only balances the rhyme, but also follows the leveling rules of modern poetry. Formally, they are equal to half a metrical poem. This can be classified as modern poetry. To sum up, the so-called ancient style poetry belongs to ancient style poetry, while the regular poetry (including long law) belongs to modern style poetry. Yuefu and quatrains, some belong to ancient style, and some belong to modern style. Five words are five words, and seven words are seven words. Five-character ancient poems are referred to as five ancient poems and seven-character ancient poems as seven ancient poems. Five-character poems are referred to as five laws, and seven-character poems are referred to as seven laws; Five-character quatrains are referred to as five quatrains, and seven-character quatrains are referred to as seven quatrains. Ancient styles are divided into five ancient styles and seven ancient styles, which is only a rough division. In fact, in addition to five words and seven words, there are so-called miscellaneous words. Miscellaneous words refer to long and short sentences mixed together, mainly three sentences, five sentences and seven sentences, among which there are occasionally four sentences, six sentences and sentences with more than seven words. Miscellaneous poems generally do not set up another category, but only belong to the seven ancient times. Even there are no seven words in the article, as long as they are long and short sentences, they will be classified as seven ancient. This is a customary classification and there is no theoretical basis. (1) There are also seven-word long laws, such as Du Fu's two poems "Qingming Festival". ② Guo compiled Du Fu's poems and classified most quatrains into modern poems. Yuan Zhen's "Bai Bian Chang Qing Ji" simply classified this quatrain as a regular poem.
