1. Grasp the artistic conception:
The four-line poem should show a kind of artistic conception, so that readers have a * * * sound. Such as Wang Zhihuan's "In the Heron Lodge":
The sun sets slowly near the western hills, and the Yellow River flows into the East China Sea.
By going up one flight of stairs, look further.
This poem shows the magnificent natural scenery and contains the philosophy of life through the scene of climbing high and looking far.
2. Pay attention to the antithesis:
Four-character poems are rigorous in antithesis, and try to make the upper and lower sentences or the front and back sentences present symmetrical beauty. Such as Du Fu's Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night:
Good rain knows the season, when spring comes.
Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently.
3. Refine words, refine meaning:
The number of words in four-character poems is limited, so we should try our best to be accurate when choosing words and refining sentences. Deliberate every word, consider every sentence, in order to achieve a concise effect. Such as Mutu's Autumn Night:
In the autumn night, candlelight reflected the screen, and Fan slapped the fireflies with his hand.
The stone steps at night are as cold as cold water, sitting and staring at the cowherd and the weaver girl.
4. Carry-over and transfer:
The seven wonders are rigorous in structure and clearly interconnected. The beginning of a sentence should be attractive, the sentence should be transferred naturally, the sentence should be innovative and the sentence should be summarized. Such as Bai Juyi's Farewell to Ancient Grass:
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
5. Express your feelings:
The four-line poem should truly express the poet's feelings, either bold or graceful, or sad and happy. For example, Li Bai's "Into the Wine":
Have you seen how the water of the Yellow River flows from the sky to the sea and never returns?
Have you seen the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room, although it is still silky black in the morning, it turns into snow at night?
6. The art of blank space:
The four-line poem should leave room for imagination, so that readers can feel something. Such as Wang Zhihuan's "Deng Fei Laifeng":
Fly to the top of Chihiro Tower, hear the cock crow and the sun rise.
As written in a China poem, we are not afraid of dark clouds covering our sight, because we are already on the top of the mountain.
In the process of writing this poem, the poet will have endless fun. When we appreciate our own seven wonders, it seems that we are immersed in the poetry of the ancients and feel the charm of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation. May we all find our own sense of joy and accomplishment in the creation of this four-character poem.
