Notes on writing quatrains
1. When writing quatrains, in addition to paying attention to the rules of rhyme, you should also pay attention to the artistic conception and emotional expression of the poem. The most important thing in quatrain creation is to be concise and concise, using the least language to express the most artistic conception and emotion. For example, in Tang Dynasty Wang Zhihuan's Climbing the Stork Tower, he expressed his heroic spirit of not being afraid of hardships and pursuing career success through his ambitious language of eating Huns' meat and laughing and drinking the blood of Huns.
2. The emotional expression of quatrains is also very important. It can reflect the poet's thinking and perception of life, nature, love, friendship, etc. For example, Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty wrote a farewell to the ancient grass in Fude, expressing his deep lamentation about the shortness of life and the impermanence of the human world with the sad words of leaving the original grass and drying up the grass every year.
