If we want to make an analogy, in the big tree of ancient poetry, metrical poetry is a flower on the trunk, while limerick is a clown flower on the diagonal branch; In other words, Tang poetry and Song poetry are like ladies in Beijing opera, while limerick is like a naughty little maid running around; In other words, classical poetry is in the palace of poetry, while limerick is in the Jianghu and folk of poetry. Of course, any metaphor is lame. Although a flower is a little ugly, it is still a flower with its own fragrance and color. The little girl is lively and lovely in a play, and her posture is moving; Above the temple, it is awe-inspiring, but people and rivers and lakes should not be underestimated.
The originator of doggerel is recognized as Zhang Dayou, a folk poet in the middle Tang Dynasty. The originator is both a pioneer and a masterpiece, and is a famous snow poem. As the poem says: "The mountains and rivers are blurred, and there are black holes in the wells. The yellow dog is white and the white dog is swollen. "
Because the limerick of the Five Elements is not strictly restricted by metrical rules, it is handy, easy to understand and humorous, and it is quite popular among the people of Xialiba, so it has been circulated for a long time. After the grandfathers, there are also some interesting limericks left for people to talk about. Just look at Song Lubo's poem "Singing in the Snow": "Under the heavy snow, the price of rice firewood rises. When the bench is burned, the bed is scared. " Zhao Bian, a famous Neo-Confucianist in the Northern Song Dynasty, is known as the "iron-faced suggestion". He is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't like stacks. After retiring, he clearly stated in a jingle: "Waist gold has been retired and the news is normal; The world wants to know that Gao Zhai is old, but it is Zhao Shiro of Gao Cun. " It means that freedom completely returns to the countryside and becomes a civilian in cloth.
It should be noted that many people often call their poems "doggerel". For example, Mr. Lu Xun said that his famous poem "Self-mockery" was "idle people playing with oil", and Mr. Shao Yanxiang once named his poetry collection "Poems of Shao Yanxiang Copying Oil", and so on. These are self-mockery or self-mockery. Don't treat their poems as oil.
