1, by syllable
Syllable division is the simplest method to divide the rhythm of ancient poetry. This method divides a sentence into several sentences according to syllables, with a slight pause between each sentence. Generally speaking, four-character poems have two meals per sentence, five-character poems have three meals per sentence, seven-character poems have four meals per sentence, and so on. This method is mainly determined according to the language habits of poetry and the structure of sentences.
2, according to the meaning of division
Division according to meaning is the most commonly used method in the division of metrical patterns of ancient poetry. This method divides the rhythm according to the meaning of the poem. Usually, a sentence is divided into several meaning groups according to its meaning, and there is an obvious pause between each meaning group. Generally speaking, four-character poems have two meanings, five-character poems have three meanings, seven-character poems have four meanings, and so on. This method can better express the meaning and artistic conception of poetry.
3. According to the grammatical structure.
It is a complicated method to divide the rhythm of ancient poetry according to grammatical structure. This method determines the rhythm according to the grammatical structure of the poem. Usually a sentence is divided into several morphemes according to the grammatical structure, and there is an obvious pause between each morpheme. This method can better express the structure and grammatical relationship of poetry.
The influence of the rhythm of ancient poetry on poetry;
1, expressing the emotion and artistic conception of poetry.
The rhythm of ancient poetry is an important expression of the poet's emotion and artistic conception. Through the ups and downs of rhythm, we can convey the poet's inner feelings and thoughts, as well as the artistic conception expressed in poetry. For example, in Du Fu's "Ascending the Mountain", the poet expressed his lofty aspirations to climb the mountain and look far through the rhythm of four words and two sentences. Wang Zhihuan's "Stay at the Heron" profoundly expresses the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers and the poet's inner feelings through the rhythm of five words and three meals.
2. Form a sense of rhythm and music in poetry.
The rhythm of ancient poetry is an important factor to form the rhythm and sense of music of poetry. Through the repetition and change of rhythm, the language of poetry has a sense of rhythm and music, and the artistic expression of poetry is enhanced. For example, in Mutu's Autumn Night, the poet vividly expresses the loneliness and desolation of autumn through the rhythm of seven words and four sentences. Su Shi's "Shuidiao Tou" expresses the boldness and passion between the lines incisively and vividly through the rhythm of nine words and five sentences.
3. Influence the structure and form of poetry.
The rhythm of ancient poetry will also affect the structure and form of poetry. Different rhythm types will form different poetic structures, such as four-character quatrains, five-character poems and seven-character poems. At the same time, the change of rhythm will also affect the form of poetry, such as parallelism, antithesis and repetition. These changes in structure and form make ancient poetry more colorful and have stronger artistic appeal.
