Ancient poetry is the ancestor of literature and the root of art, and poetry is a literary genre that expounds the soul. Poets need to master mature artistic skills and express social life and human spiritual world with concise language, rich emotions and rich images according to certain requirements of syllables, tones and rhythms. In ancient China, unhappy people were called poems and happy people were called songs.
Ancient poetry is the poet's anger and dissatisfaction with the realistic concept or secular concept. The essential feature of ancient poetry is lyrical beauty. The most beautiful thing is to stand at the height of human history to flash the aura of poetry.
The development of ancient poetry;
The Tang Dynasty was a country of poetry, and poets came forth in large numbers. For example, Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo, who are known as the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty"; Cen Can, Gao Shi and Wang Zhihuan, who are famous for frontier poems; Meng Haoran, famous for his pastoral poems; In particular, Li Bai, a poet, Du Fu, a poet sage, and Bai Juyi, a popular poet, are even more brilliant. The development of Tang poetry reached its peak. Five-character poems, seven-character poems and miscellaneous poems compete with each other like flowers in Wan Fang gardens. In particular, a new poetic style, metrical poetry, has emerged, which is even more dazzling.
Rhyme is a poetic style with strict metrical requirements. It has strict rules on the number of words, sentences, rhyming, leveling and antithesis. This poetic style is unprecedented. In order to show the difference from classical poetry, the Tang Dynasty called it modern poetry or modern poetry. Rhyme is the representative of Tang poetry, which was inherited by later poets. Although there are many excellent poems after the Tang Dynasty, there are basically no major new breakthroughs.
