Is metrical poetry really important?
Extremely important. Without the rhythm of poetry, there would be no China's poetry. Classical poetry (old-style poetry) is divided into classical poetry (such as Chu Ci, Book of Songs and Yuefu) and modern poetry (modern poetry includes metrical poetry, metrical poetry and metrical poetry, etc. ). Metrics are fully formed in modern poetry, and some poems that make up lessons or are missing are composed of musicality and literariness. The school's poetry appreciation and 99% poetry appreciation books all talk about his literariness, such as techniques, images, thoughts and feelings. And musicality needs to be reflected by meter (don't say that foreign poems have no meter, but their original texts also have rhythm requirements, such as iambic and so on. , but their language has no tone, therefore, it is impossible to have a perfect meter like China's poems. I) It is a great defect that modern poetry has no meter (I won't say much about this, and there is not enough time today. If you want to know, you can look it up yourself, or ask me later. Zhu Guangqian's On Poetry strictly discusses the necessity of meter and the consequences of modern poetry without meter. Modern poetry respects meter, including modern poetry in a broad sense (words and songs). In the traditional sense, it is not rigorous and scientific to think that classical poetry does not respect rules and regulations and has no requirements. Classical poetry has its own meter, but it is not as strict as modern poetry, and it was sung with music at that time. Its beat is reflected in the collocation with music. With the disappearance of traditional music forms, classical poetry gradually disappeared and was replaced by modern poetry. In a word, meter is extremely important, which is the first, second and third. But in a poem, if the artistic conception is excellent, very few characters are connected. However, this phenomenon does not exist in all modern poems (Du Gongbu, Li Yishan, etc.). )! !
