Although it rhymes, it doesn't rhyme (vowel an)

Arrange homophonic words regularly at the end of poems and other rhymes. Rhyming words are called rhyming feet or rhyming words. Rhyme is one of the linguistic features of poetry and other rhymes. Its main function is to make the sound harmonious and beautiful, recite smoothly and sweetly, and facilitate the memory cycle. Rhyme and vowel are not exactly the same concepts. Homophones refer to vowels with the same or similar rhymes. If there is a rhyme, the rhyme is the same, and the rhyme can be different. In order to facilitate rhyme, people divide homophonic and rhyming words into several rhyming parts. According to the phonology of modern Beijing pronunciation, the most common rhyming parts are eighteen rhymes and thirteen rhymes (attached: a comparison table between eighteen rhymes and thirteen rhymes and Mandarin vowels). First of all … you know there was no pinyin in ancient times.

These seemingly rhyming words you said belong to the same phonological department in ancient Chinese.

Specifically, those who are interested can check this knowledge. It's inconvenient for me to find it on my mobile phone. I can only speak a little Chinese dialect, mainly referring to the northern dialect dominated by Beijing dialect.

There are not many rhymes in Ancient Poems. It sounds good to sum up "rhyme" from the accumulation of creation. Why did the ancients call it "poetry" instead of "chanting"? Poetry is singing, poetry is singing, and rhyming with words is better.

Later, I summed up the "thirteen unique skills" and two small unique skills from the art of rap.

(In northern operas, children's vowels can also rhyme with rhymes, and their rhymes are divided into two categories, which are generally called two "small rhymes". Let's briefly introduce:

1, Xiaoyan Qianer: including a, ua, ia, ai, uai, an, uan, Luan and ian (namely, Fahua, Huailai and Yan Qian).

2. Little Chen er: including vowels such as o, e, i, u, ü, ie, üe, ei, uei(ui), en, in, uen(un), ün, uo and er. )

The names of the thirteen roads are: Fahua, Sobo, Mixie, Yiqi, Gusu, Huailai, Huidui, Yaotiao, Yuan Qiu, Yan Qian, Renchen, Jiangyang and Middle East.

To say "Thirteenth Avenue", we must first discuss several important concepts.

The first concept is "syllable", which is the basic structural unit of pronunciation and the most natural phonetic unit in language flow. Generally speaking, except for "Hua Er Yin", the pronunciation of a Chinese character is syllables. For example, the five Chinese characters in "I like Xi 'an" are five syllables. From the perspective of physiological phonetics, once the pronunciation organ is stressed, a syllable is formed. For example, when we pronounce the two groups of sounds "Xian (1)" and "Xi 'an (1)", although the pronunciation is basically the same, when we pronounce "Xian", the pronunciation organ only stresses it once, while "Xi 'an" stresses it twice.

Although syllable is the most natural phonetic unit in the language flow, it is not the smallest phonetic unit, which can be further analyzed. From the perspective of phonetics, vowels and consonants are called phonemes, which are the smallest pronunciation units. I believe that everyone has already learned the relevant knowledge when learning a foreign language, so I won't say much here. According to the analysis method of Chinese phonology, a syllable can also be analyzed into three parts: the initial consonant refers to the consonant at the beginning of the syllable, such as the syllable "[good (three tones)", and the initial h is its initial. If there is no consonant at the beginning of a syllable (such as "Ai (four tones)"), a vowel is called "zero". For example, in the syllable "[Hao (three tones)]", "ao" is its vowel, and there is no initial syllable, such as "Ai (four tones)]", and its vowel is "AI"; The distinctive pitch change in syllables is tone, which is also called word tone. The tones in Putonghua are also commonly known as "Ping (one tone)", "Ping (two tones)", "Uptone (three tones)" and "Downtone (four tones)". It should be noted that different dialects have different tones and tone types.

Today's topic is Thirteen Avenue, and the main research object is vowels in syllables. Vowels in Putonghua are mainly composed of vowels, and a few vowels are composed of vowels and nasal consonants (such as an and ang). ). According to the types, the vowels in Putonghua can be divided into single vowels (including A, O, E, I, U, ü) and complex vowels (including ai, ei, ao, ou, ia, ie, ua, uo, üe, iao, iou(iu), uai and uei(ui)). Structurally, vowels can be divided into three parts: rhyme head (also called middle tone), rhyme belly and rhyme ending. Belly is the backbone of vowels, and its sound is the clearest and loudest compared with the beginning and end of vowels, so it is also called "main vowel" and is an indispensable part of every vowel. Generally, a, o and e can all act as it. When there is no A, O and E, I, U, ü and er can also act as it. There are only three rhymes, I, U and U, which appear after the initial and before the final, so it is also called "intermediate sound". In a vowel of a compound vowel, the ending is limited to I, U, O or N and ng at the back of the stomach.

With this knowledge, it is not difficult to understand the "Thirteenth Avenue". "Thirteen tracks" is to classify vowels according to the basic principle of the same or similar rhymes in northern rap art (if there is a rhyme ending, the rhyme ending must be the same), so as to make recitation and singing smooth, easy to remember and full of musical beauty. The names of the thirteen roads are: Fahua, Sobo, Mixie, Yiqi, Gusu, Huailai, Huidui, Yaotiao, Yuan Qiu, Yan Qian, Renchen, Jiangyang and Middle East. In particular, it is pointed out that the names of each of the thirteen kinds of statements are only two representative words that conform to this statement, and there is no other meaning. Therefore, other words of this statement can also be used to represent this statement, such as "Sobo Theory" can also be called "Wandering Theory" or "Foreword Theory" or "Fairy Theory".
