Poetry is divided into ancient poetry and modern poetry.

Poetry is divided into ancient poetry and modern poetry.

Modern poetry, also known as modern poetry or metrical poetry, is a poetic style in which China pays attention to metrical, antithetical and Ye Yun. Different from classical poetry, it is called modern poetry, which refers to the metrical poetry formed in the Tang Dynasty. The number of sentences and words in modern poetry.

Modern poetry is not a modern poetry genre with superficial understanding, but a poetry genre with strict meter in Han Dynasty, that is, paying attention to meter, antithesis and rhyme, which was formed in the early Tang Dynasty.

Classical poetry refers to the poetic genre of the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Because of these two genres of poetry, beginners will form a misunderstanding and be easily misled by a half-baked explanation.

Past life of modern poetry:

Modern poetry, also known as metrical poetry, is a genre of Chinese poetry that pays attention to metrical, antithetical and rhyming. Belonging to the category of modern poetry, it is named because of strict metrical requirements.

Metric poems originated from Shen Yue and other new-style poems that emphasized the antithesis of metrical poems in the Southern Dynasties, and were further developed and stereotyped by Shen Quanqi and Song Wenzhi in the early Tang Dynasty, which prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Modern poetry has strict rules in the use of words, rhyme, level tone and antithesis, and pays attention to level tone and antithesis. Its common types are five-character poems and seven-character poems.

Because metrical poetry will restrict its development, and even cause many troubles such as changing words in order to rhyme, metrical poetry has developed from seven laws and five laws to seven sentences and five sentences.

Absolute truncation, the number of words is halved, from 56 words and 40 words to 28 words and 20 words respectively, which is more flexible. In addition to retaining the characteristics of metrical poetry, it also makes the creator more flexible and unconstrained. Therefore, since the appearance of this method, a large number of poets have adopted this method, and most metrical Tang poems are of this type.

Past lives, an ancient poem:

This is a poetic style that is opposite to modern poetry. Before the formation of modern poetry, various schools of poetry. Also known as the ancient style of ancient poetry, there are three carriers: song, line and chant.

The ancient Five Dynasties first appeared in the Han Dynasty. Nineteen ancient poems, all five-character poems. Such as: "grass by the green river, willow in the gloomy garden." Yingying is a woman upstairs with eyes as bright as windows. E-E's pink makeup makes her hands delicate. She used to be a housewife, but now she is a slut. It's hard to stay in an empty bed without going home.

Most of the poems in the Han Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties are five-character poems, and there are more five-character poems in the Tang Dynasty and later. The appearance of the Seven Ancient Dynasties may be earlier than that of the Five Ancient Dynasties. But before the Tang Dynasty, it was not as common as the Five Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, seven ancient books appeared in large numbers, which was also called long sentences in the Tang Dynasty.

Miscellaneous poems are also unique to ancient poetry. There are many miscellaneous poems in The Book of Songs and Han Yuefu folk songs. Li Bai's Into the Wine is a miscellaneous poem. The same is true of the national styles of The Book of Songs, Feng Wei and Vatan. Since the Han and Wei Dynasties, Yuefu poems have been accompanied by music, including songs, lines, songs and poems. Many Yuefu poems in the Tang Dynasty were unhappy.

Classical poetry is free in meter, does not require antithesis and leveling, rhymes freely, and is not limited in length. There are four sentences, five sentences, six sentences, seven sentences and miscellaneous sentences, which are also called ancient poetry. But there are many ancient poems with five words and seven words, referred to as five ancient poems and seven poems for short.
