Poetry pause segmentation skills

It is a difficult problem for junior high school students who are new to classical Chinese to write articles without reading sentences. How to correctly divide the reading rhythm of classical Chinese sentences has become their problem. Reading sentences clearly and pausing correctly is one of the requirements for reading classical Chinese. There are two kinds of pauses: one is the pause between sentences, that is, the length of the pause between sentences is determined according to punctuation and intonation; The other is a short pause in a sentence, which is classified according to the internal relationship between sentence components in terms of words or phrases.

A correct pause is based on understanding the meaning and grammatical structure of a sentence. Therefore, to accurately judge the pause in a sentence, we can first translate the sentence into modern Chinese, accurately understand the article when reading aloud, and regard the text with similar meaning as a "meaning unit". There is often a pause between "unit" and "unit": according to the pause in a sentence in modern Chinese, we can find the corresponding pause in a sentence in classical Chinese. When analyzing the grammatical structure, we can first grasp the verb, connect the words before and after the verb, observe the whole sentence, find the subject in front, the object in the back, and then find other components, so as to determine the grammatical structure of the sentence and determine the pause in the sentence accordingly. Here are some pause methods for reading ancient poems for your reference:

1, there should be a pause after the auxiliary words and related words at the beginning of the sentence. In classical Chinese, some function words are placed at the beginning of a sentence to express the tone of discussion, inference and rhetorical question, or to guide the whole sentence or even the whole paragraph, such as "if", "v", "ruofu", "zhi", "as for", "so", "wei" and "qi" ... After reading these words, you should read them aloud. If the husband is at sunrise, the forest is blooming. "Ruofu" is the first modal particle of a sentence, and there is a pause after reading it. The rhythm of reading this sentence is: if the husband/sunrise is in the forest, the flowers will bloom and rest. Another example is "Therefore, Heaven will be a great man", "What is it/like a stone?" "Beggars/Big Supan Chibi Cloud.

There are many monosyllabic words in ancient Chinese, two monosyllabic words in ancient China, and a disyllabic word in modern Chinese (with the help of ancient and modern synonyms), so we should pay attention to reading them separately. Such as (1) "Today/Party: (2) Can/Fight World War I". In ancient times, "local" and "can" were two monosyllabic words, while modern Chinese is just a disyllabic word, whose meaning has changed and should be read separately. And you can't read it continuously. Another example: the rate wants purple people to go to this desperate situation. The ancient meaning of "wife" refers to "wife and children", not "kiln" as mentioned today. The rhythm of reading this sentence is: rate/wife/son/local people/come here to despair. Another example: you can fight a war. "Ke" is ok, "Yi" is "relying on". Different from the gerund "neng" in modern Chinese, the rhythm of reading aloud is: neng/da. Other grandparents/fathers have accumulated, and children/grandchildren have abandoned them.

3. In the first step of dividing the reading rhythm of classical Chinese sentences, we should first analyze the relationship between the components of this sentence, sort out the trunk of this sentence, and understand what is the subject, predicate and object. Pause according to the structural components and language order of the sentence, that is, pause according to "subject-predicate-object", "adverbial predicate" and "verb-complement". In other words, there should be a pause between the subject and the predicate, and between the verb and the complement (there is generally no pause between the attribute and the head word) to make the meaning obvious. For example, the first emperor/don't/minister is despicable, and "minister is despicable" is a subject-predicate phrase as an object, which cannot be pronounced as "first emperor/don't/minister is despicable".

Some sentences have subject, predicate and object, forming a subject-predicate structure, but what if some sentences have no subject-predicate structure? Then use the method of "verb-object/verb-object" to divide. For example, there is a pause in the reading of the sentence "Leading a wife to this desperate situation" in Peach Blossom Garden. In this sentence, "leadership" means "leadership", which is a verb, and "leading his wife" is the content and object of "leadership", which is a verb-object structure. "Lai" is a verb, "this desperate situation" is a place to come, and "Lai" is an object and a verb-object structure. On the whole, this sentence consists of two verb-object structures, so the pause in reading this sentence is "to lead his wife to this desperate place."

How to divide longer sentences, such as "those who can slander me in the market will be rewarded", is this method applicable? Again, don't worry. Now let's analyze it again: this sentence means "I can discuss my faults loudly in the market, and what I hear will be rewarded with inferiority." Verbs include "discuss", "make … listen" and "suffer", while verbs in classical Chinese sentences include "slander", "smell" and "suffer". Preposition. In this case, "those who can slander the city" are verb-object structures, "listeners" are verb-object structures, and "those who are rewarded" are also verb-object structures. Then, the pause in reading this sentence is "those who can slander the city/those who listen to it/those who are rewarded", or it is divided according to the principle of "verb-object/object".

4. Nouns used as adverbials should be connected with the head words. If you read it separately, you will mistake the adverbial for the subject and change the meaning of the sentence. For example, "a dog sits in front", "big" is a noun, which can be used flexibly as an adverbial, and "dog sits" should be read continuously. If they are separated, the adverbial will be wrongly regarded as the subject, thus changing the meaning of the sentence. The correct pause is "one/dog sitting/front".

In verb-object phrases, there should be a pause between the verb and the object. For example: (1) Afraid of being attacked by enemies before and after it. (2) Can/Your Majesty entrust me to plan the effect of restoration?

In classical Chinese sentences with prepositions and object phrases, there should be a pause before and after reading. For example, (1) was appointed/defeated. (2) May Your Majesty entrust me with the effect of rejuvenation.

5. Know the ancient country name, year number, official position, title, historical facts and place names, otherwise it will lead to the mistake of reading pause. For example, Yu Hui/Huiji/Yin Shan/ZhiLanting, "Huiji" is the county name and "Yin Shan" is the county name. Yu Shan/Wang Yishu Fu Yuan/Engraving. ("Yushan" is the name of the mountain, and "Wang Shuyuan" is the surname of Wang Shuyuan. "Fu" was a good name for men in ancient times. )

6 rhythm pause should reflect the omitted components, and don't read the omitted components as if they were not omitted. A drum/gas, and then/and decline, three/and exhausted. The verb predicate "drum" after omitting "zai" and "San" should pause to reflect the omission of the predicate, and cannot be read as "drum/qi, then/decline, three times/exhaustion".

7. Pause should reflect the original appearance of sentence structure. For example, the original sentence is a verb-object structure and the object is a subject-predicate phrase. For example, when it is read as "What is the world today", it becomes a subject-predicate sentence and is broken. Another example is "two or three points of rain/piedmont". If it is read as "two or three rain/piedmont", the original sentence is inverted.

8. Modal auxiliary words such as "Ye" and "Hu" are used in sentences to indicate pause, and pause after reading aloud, and cannot be mistaken for adverbs. For example, (1) I have heard about it for a long time. I haven't learned from you for a long time. "Ye" is not an adverbial before the predicate, so it can't be pronounced as "long heard" or "long heard"

(2) yang hu/Qi Hao.

9. When there are conjunctions such as "er", "zhe" and "yi" in a sentence, it is usually stopped before it.

In addition to the sentences with subject-predicate structure and the sentences with verb-object structure, there are also some sentences that express the turning point of meaning, which can be divided according to the principle of "before". For example, if you are right, you can quit your job and do nothing in Fish I Want. If you are right, it leads to if you are wrong, if you are right leads to if you are wrong, if you are wrong leads to if you are wrong, and the reading pause of this sentence is before. Another example is "10,000 minutes to accept without distinguishing propriety", which can be divided into "10,000 minutes to accept without distinguishing propriety" according to the principle of "before". According to the principle of "before, before", the pause in reading can be divided into "when/when/when/when/when foreign patients are invincible".

But there are also sentences, such as "When can I have fun?" How to divide it? Let's take a look: "Ranze" means a turning point, followed by "When to have fun" is the content of the turning point, but "Ranze" does not have the content of the previous meaning. This sentence is just a turning point in the meaning of the next sentence, which belongs to a simple sentence, so its division can only be "Zehou".
