The first one is Xu Zhimo's masterpiece Farewell to Cambridge. The first section of Farewell to Cambridge. As follows-
I left gently
just as I came gently
I waved gently
to bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky
-these four poems are rhymed with "ai". Readers, please have a look. If the word "clouds" is replaced by "clouds", or "colorful clouds", or "sunset clouds" or "rosy clouds", is it ok? Absolutely! Not only can it be, but it's not bad at all. In particular, "Yunxia" is more harmonious with the following-the golden willow by the lake, the bride in the sunset and so on. However, this change, with its charm and aesthetic feeling of language, can also highlight the poet's free and easy melancholy?
The second one is Mr. Ai Qing's masterpiece The Reef-
Wave after wave
coming endlessly
Every wave is scattered under its feet
It's face and body
like a knife
But it still stands there
with a smile. There is no doubt that you can, but after this change, do you still have the long charm of the original after reading it again?
Of course, here, it is also necessary to make sure that these two poems have true feelings and a high degree of cohesion of "God", so even if they are changed, they are still good poems, but they are obviously inferior to the original ones. Why is it inferior? That's because it doesn't rhyme anymore. In this way, the importance of rhyme is obvious. There are many masterpieces in the history of new poetry. Readers and friends, especially those who write poems, if interested, can go and have a look, change the rhyming words, change them into non-rhyming words, and then feel the effect-whether it is better or not.
Now that we understand the importance of rhyme, we should focus on the rhyme of poetry.
Third, what are the requirements of rhyme for the poet
First of all, what are the requirements of rhyme for the poet? The first requirement is that the poet should have a certain talent, that is, sensitivity to language; Secondly, it requires the poet to be diligent and tolerant of loneliness. Why are there these two requirements? Because, to master rhyme, you must go through two levels. First, you must master a large number of words. Second, after mastering a large number of words, you must be able to use them flexibly. The former only needs to study hard and bear loneliness; The latter, besides being diligent and enduring loneliness, requires the poet to have a certain talent-without a certain talent, even if he has mastered a large number of words, it is difficult to use them flexibly. However, it should be emphasized here that a poet's lack of talent is actually not terrible, because as the saying goes-diligence can make up for it. If the poet can fly first and redouble his efforts, then he can't rhyme skillfully and write a good poem.
after reading these, some friends must ask-what is talent? Or is there any manifestation of sensitivity to language? Then I want to say-if you write a poem at the beginning, if you put it on rhyme without any guidance, and write a rhyming poem, it means that you have a very high talent, that is, you are very talented; If you don't understand it at first, but someone understands it at first, you will understand the importance of rhyme to writing poetry, which means that you also have considerable talent; And if someone has repeatedly told you the importance of rhyme, but you still ignore it, or unknown so, it means that you lack talent and sensitivity to poetic language. However, this does not rule out your misunderstanding of poetry. After all, the concept that new poetry is a free body has been deeply rooted in people's hearts-although there is no clear boundary for the scale of freedom.
Fourth, the rules and regulations of rhyme
And knowing the requirements of rhyme for the poet, we can begin to analyze some rules and regulations of poetry rhyme.
here, let's take a look at the rhyming rules of old-style poems. What needs to be explained here is that there are metrical poems, words, songs, modern poems, ancient poems and so on. Here, I refer to all poems before new poems as old-style poems. Then, what are the rules and regulations of the rhyme of old-style poems? The rhyming of old-style poems has strict rules. For example, four lines of quatrains generally rhyme with one, two, four and two; For example, the eight-line rhyme is generally 2468, or at least rhymes with 268; For example, in the Song Dynasty, the rhyme of "Like a Dream" is 12456 or 1246; The rhyming features of the poem in Yuan Qu are dense, and basically every sentence is bet-Ma Zhiyuan's well-known "Tianjingsha, Qiu Si"-a faint crow with a withered vine, a small bridge flowing with water, an ancient road with a thin horse and a west wind, the setting sun, and heartbroken people at the end of the world. Is a representative, a good explanation.
So, how should new poems rhyme? What are the rules? New poetry is called free verse, so in terms of rhyme, it is natural to embody the characteristics of freedom-this is also the characteristic of social development in the times, which is becoming more and more relaxed and free. In other words, the rhyme of new poetry has no strict rules, but-bet as much as possible. Specifically, the rhyme of the last word is usually the rhyme of the whole poem, or the last rhyme-because rhyme can change rhyme and rhyme, which I will explain later. Therefore, the rhyme of new poetry is very simple, simpler and clearer than that of old poetry. But simplicity does not mean that it is easy to master, and there is no cleverness. So next, let's analyze the rhyme of the new poem.
hehe, of course, it's a good idea to revise and then revise when writing.
