where there are Chinese characters, there are Tang poetry and Song poetry.
it should be admitted that the great charm of Tang poetry and Song poetry is closely related to its rigorous and varied metrical form.
Metric is the specific requirement of poetry in terms of sentence number, word number, rhythm, sound and other language forms.
any kind of metrical poem is strict, stereotyped and unchangeable.
As long as a poet writes in accordance with the prescribed rules, he can make his poems have inherent musical beauty.
To understand China's classical poetry, we must learn the poetic meter.
Metric refers to a series of rules that China ancient poems should abide by in terms of format and rhythm.
foreign poems also have their own metrical rules about the number of words, sentences, duality, parallelism and rhyme, etc.
case, in popular terms, is format, pattern and main shape;
rhythm, that is, melody, main rhyme.
With the help of poetic meter, we can better taste the rich charm of classical poetry expressed in rigorous meter, appreciate the beauty of ancient writing, and master various genres of ancient poetry.
Only by mastering the metrical poetry can we guide the writing of metrical poetry and enjoy the inner joy of dancing in fetters.
Only by absorbing the essence of metrical patterns can we better explore new poetic metrical patterns that adapt to the characteristics of modern languages.
Metrics are not all the same as music.
In Chinese classical metrical poems and metrical words, the number of words is five or seven words, and there is a stable three-step or four-step rhythm:
1. The tone is replaced by two levels, and the sound level is adjusted;
2. In rhyme, it adopts the rhyming rhythm that echoes back and forth, reflecting the melody that goes back and forth;
3. The writing combines the steady and rigorous antithesis with the light and fluent loose sentences, giving it a solemn, elegant and natural style.
all these are determined by the characteristics of Chinese language and characters, and it took thousands of years for people to discover and finally decide.
