Today, people use this sound to pair, which not only sounds better and reads better, but also does not need to remember the ancient sound of one thing in the east and two things in the winter. It seems convenient and natural, but it's not that simple. There are many conflicting things, and it is difficult to choose. It also involves historical and political reasons, and even the basic core of the survival of Chinese language. Otherwise, almost every beginner will ask this simple question. Why are there countless phonologists until now? Don't people in the associated press just pretend to be lofty and love to show off and want to die from the people? You may say that there is no need to make such a small matter so serious, but only a few people think it is alarmist and confusing. However, this factor is not without, but it is definitely not decisive. If you are familiar with the history of phonetic evolution in China and some changes in language and writing since the May 4th Movement, and then look back at the history of China after the Song Dynasty to see who ruled China, you will gradually understand the distance between the language we are using now and "Chinese". In the past, Chinese was flat with four tones, which were obviously different in tone and timbre, but four tones have little meaning in modern Chinese, let alone three tones, so read it. This is a cadence! This is an Indo-European thing! Therefore, when reciting with the characteristics of modern Chinese, the musical sense of Pingze is too poor. For example, many features of ancient Chinese are preserved in ancient dialects, such as Cantonese (Cantonese has a tone of entering tone, and four tones can also distinguish yin from yang). You have heard of Days Beyond Our Life, and the phrase "Days Beyond Our Life" is relatively dull. Listen to his flat tone. Couplets and poems are the essence of China traditional culture. We actually regard these "rules" as treasures, a huge wealth. The singing of Kunqu Opera in Beijing Opera is not modern Chinese, but you can't change it into a drama. The beauty of the meaning of Chinese sounds, quantities and glyphs is really not much left, but it is not really ancient. Modern Chinese and ancient Chinese are two different things. You can learn a foreign language. This may be a bit exaggerated, but I hope you can understand that I was very dissatisfied with this stereotype when I was a child. But after reading some books and seeing that some people have experienced some phenomena, I feel that this thing is very important, so important that it has entrusted our nation with heavy and depressed feelings. If I believe that the landlord loves China people, then if I look at history and reality, I will understand that this persistence is not just "pretentious and lofty". Having said that, I still think it has nothing to do with your question, so I'll talk about the benefits of using ancient sounds. After all, our views on couplets have been correct for thousands of years. It is right for the ancients and ancient sounds, and has accumulated countless materials. If you are right about the ancient sound, it is easy to find the corresponding material. For example, bees can be right about butterflies, but they can't be used if the sound is the same as today's. After all, monosyllabic words are the most commonly used when writing couplets, and there are countless examples of monosyllabic words antithesis that the ancients can cite. Things like airplanes versus cannons are meaningless. The humorous couplets with dozens of crosses are generally not so flat, and the tail is just in front. Therefore, using ancient sounds is just a bit difficult at first, and it is easy to learn. The road ahead will be smooth sailing, regardless of the convenience in front of these pictures, some ancient people's artistic conception is not very easy to understand (sound and meaning are closely related), maybe it is ok for some word games couplets, but for those artistic conceptions.
In addition, when I say that modern Chinese is different from ancient Chinese, I don't mean to encourage my friends to go back to the ancients. Unrealistic. Modern Chinese will certainly find its own advantages, develop more updated expressions and create new brilliance of Chinese. Of course, ancient Chinese can also be inherited and developed, but it must be in a form suitable for modern Chinese. Couplets and old-style poems are not, at least not the most appropriate forms of expression. Ancient Chinese is not dead, as long as someone is there. It can certainly go further on its own track in its own way. I would like to see this phenomenon of going hand in hand in my lifetime. The answer is not good, and the words are wordy. Let me give you some reference from my family ~
