Extended information
Modern style poetry began to sprout in the Qi and Liang Dynasties and was formally formed in the early Tang Dynasty. Its characteristics are:
1. The number of words is fixed. Modern poetry includes regular verses and quatrains. Each regular verse has eight lines and each quatrain has four lines. The number of lines is limited. There are also "trimeter poems", but they are rare.
There is also the so-called "rhyme arrangement", the number of sentences can be more than eight sentences, and up to one hundred and fifty or sixty rhymes (more than three hundred sentences), but the number of sentences is always an even number. Each line of modern poetry is generally five or seven characters, and six characters are rare. Therefore, the fixed number of words can be said to be a unique feature of modern poetry.
2. Use rhyme strictly. This means: a poem must rhyme to the end, and rhymes cannot be changed in the middle; a poem must use words with the same rhyme, and no rhymes are allowed; generally, only plain rhymes are used.
3. Pay attention to evenness.
4. Pay attention to confrontation.
