The rhythm is very strict. There are definite sentences (except arrangement), definite characters in sentences, definite rhymes (definite rhymes), definite tones (definite tones of each word in the poem) and definite couplets (the two rhymes in the middle must be aligned).

(3) Text

Also known as poetry, long and short sentences, songs, music words, Yuefu and so on. Its characteristics: the tone has a fixed frame, the sentence has a fixed number and the word has a fixed tone. The number of words can be divided into long tune (above 9 1 word), middle tune (59-90 words) and minor tune (below 58 words).

Words can be divided into monosyllabic and disyllabic, and disyllabic is divided into two paragraphs, in which the level and number of words are equal or roughly equal, and monosyllabic is only one paragraph. A word is called a paragraph, the first paragraph is called money, business and fashion, and the second paragraph is called Hou, Xia and Xia.

2. According to the content, it can be divided into narrative poems, lyric poems, farewell poems, frontier poems, pastoral poems, nostalgic poems (poems about history), mourning poems and satirical poems.

Generally, I miss people and things in ancient times. Poetry about history often distorts historical facts and reality, or regrets personal experience or criticizes social reality.

Landscape pastoral poetry is good at describing natural scenery, pastoral scenery and comfortable seclusion life, with meaningful and beautiful poetic landscape, quiet and elegant style and clear and elegant language.

(4) War poems

Poetry with frontier fortress and war as its theme existed in the pre-Qin period and developed into the Tang Dynasty. Because wars are still frequent, the rulers value martial arts over literature, and it is easier for literati to win fame and gain fame than the imperial examination. In addition, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, frontier poems with magnificent exotic feelings developed greatly, forming a new school of poetry, with representatives such as Gao Shi, Cen Can and Wang Changling.

(5) Travel poems and in my heart forever's poems.

The ancient people's long-term exile, long-term wandering, or long-term guarding the border will always cause strong homesickness and homesickness, so there are many such poems. They either write about their nostalgia for a trip, or their thoughts about their relatives and friends, or their homesickness, or their thoughts about being pregnant in the boudoir. In writing, I feel hurt by touching the scene, feeling in time, expressing my feelings with things, expressing my feelings because of dreams, or expressing my feelings with wonderful metaphors.

(6) Farewell poems

In ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation and underdeveloped communication, it was often difficult for relatives and friends to meet for several years, so the ancients paid special attention to parting. On the occasion of parting, people often set up wine farewell parties, fold willows to send them away, and sometimes sing poems to bid farewell, so parting has become an eternal theme of ancient literati.

Because everyone's situation is different, the specific content and ideological tendency written in farewell poems are often different. Some express their feelings of parting directly, some express their feelings by spitting out the anger in their chests or expressing their wishes, some focus on the pain of parting without hating, some focus on persuasion, encouragement and comfort, and some have both.

Extended data

Poetry content:

Poetry comes from life. Poetry is the flash of the sea of life. If we separate poetry from life, we can't understand the essence of poetry.

Because poetry is not a narrative life, but a singing life, emotion is the main content of poetry, and lyrical beauty is the essence of poetry. Feelings should be dependent. Images make feelings concrete and influential. Therefore, image is also an integral part of poetry content. Poetry is the most philosophical style and the most "reasonable" variety in the literary field. Feelings come from thoughts. Thought is also an indispensable part of poetry.

The unity of emotion, form and reason constitutes the content of this poem.

1, poetic feelings:

(1), the authenticity of feelings.

The so-called truth means not telling lies. Poetry is always willing to pour out the joys and sorrows hidden in its own chest. Sleek and sophisticated should not be the characteristic of poetry. The truth of feelings has a wide range. Besides poets, the feelings of task images in poems must also be true.

(2) Emotional independence.

True feelings are always specific and unique. It is independence, not lack of personality. Emotional independence is the embodiment and extension of emotional authenticity, and it is the external and symbol of sensibility. Emotional independence connects poetry with the reader's mind and makes the image of lyric hero close to the reader.

Emotional independence is manifested in being good at discovering "differences": being able to say things that people have never said; Be good at discovering "differences": what a good speaker says is hard to say.

2. Poetic image:

It is also the basic law of art to reflect social life through artistic images. Poetry sings a life, but also sings a vivid life. In most poems, the main image is the image of the lyric hero. In addition to lyrical heroic images, poems generally have unique landscape images.

3. Poetic ideas:

Poetry should be full of philosophy. The thought of poetry is philosophical, which is different from philosophical thought;

(1), the idea of poetry is an emotional crystallization.

(2) The concept of poetry is the crystallization of an image.

(3) The conception of poetry is the crystallization of witty language.

4. Poetic imagery:

Image is an extremely important concept in poetics. Poetry, as a language art, generally does not express abstract feelings directly with abstract language, but with the help of images. Image is an objective image that combines the poet's subjective feelings. Poetry expresses the poet's subjective world and the objective world that the poet faces.

In the subjective world, poetry mainly expresses emotion and beauty, that is, the poet's emotional experience, ideological understanding and aesthetic feeling of the world and life. The objective world requires poetry to be narrative and concrete, social and natural. What it looks like and what it tells are often used as images to convey subjective feelings and aesthetics.
