How to grasp the rhythm of ancient poetry reading aloud
The ancients said: I don't know that sentence, but I don't understand it. To learn ancient Chinese, we must first learn to punctuate sentences and accurately grasp the pauses in sentences, which is of great help to understand the meaning of the article and cultivate students' ability to read ancient poems. Here are some pause methods for reading ancient poems for reference: 1. Four-character poems can be divided into "Er Er" according to the chapters with both meanings and rhythms, such as: life/geometry, going to Japan/suffering more. Five-character poems can be divided into "two or three" according to the meaning unit, such as: ask the woman/what do you think. According to the rhythm unit, it can be divided into "22 1", such as: desert/solitary smoke/straight; Or "2 12", for example: look up/see/the moon. Seven-character poems can be divided into "four or three" according to their meaning, such as green hills on both sides of the strait. According to the rhythm, it can be divided into "221", such as:/degree/Yumen/Guan; Or "22 12" such as: life/since ancient times/who/no death. Second, with the help of the characteristics of ancient Chinese vocabulary, pause well. 1, with the help of many single words in ancient Chinese, pauses well. For example, heaven sent a great task, and so did people. Correct reading rhythm: Heaven/General/Descent/Great Duty/Yu/People. 2. Pause with the help of ancient and modern meanings of words. Like leading his wife to this desperate situation. The ancient meaning of "wife" refers to "wife and children", not "wife" 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 modal verb "neng" in modern Chinese, the rhythm of reading aloud is: neng/da. Other grandparents/fathers have accumulated, and children/grandchildren have abandoned them. 3. Pause after the modal particle at the beginning of the sentence. In the article, there are sentences that express the tone of discussion, inference and rhetorical question. If there are words such as "Fu, Beggar, Qi" in front, pause after these words. For example, the husband makes it at sunrise, and the flowers bloom in the forest. "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. If there are still: (1), Ruofu/Yu Feifei. (2) What is it/like earth and stone? (3) Gai/Dasufan-Chibi Cloud. (4) Gai/Zhuishi's special experience. (5), so/a gentleman has no war. 4. "Ye" is an modal particle in the sentence, and then it should be paused. For example, I've been listening for a long time. The rhythm of reading this sentence is: I have been listening for a long time. If you mistake "Ye" for the adverbial before the predicate, it will be easily misread as: Yu Wenzhi/Ye. There is usually a pause before turning the conjunction "er". (1) Later/the wolf stopped/the wolf came again. (2) People don't know/but don't care. (3) The first emperor/entrepreneur was not half/and the middle road collapsed. Third, with the help of grammatical structure, pause well. There should be a pause between the subject and the predicate. Such as: (1) first emperor/don't be despicable as a minister. (2) I saw it. 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 with the task of bringing me back to life? 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/let the thieves recover. 4. Pause after reading the adverbial in advance. Such as: (1) three points today/three points in the world. Today/South has been settled. Fourth, according to the context, make a pause. For example: 1, a dog is sitting in front. One, a wolf. "Dog" modifies the verb "sit", that is, "like a dog". The rhythm of reading this sentence is: first, the dog sits in front. Similarly, there is: "A good doctor does not cure a disease/thinks that he is meritorious. And/I don't know/I'm too defensive/I'm happy. The previous "le" is used as a verb to take pleasure in. The latter "music" is a noun, fun and happiness. Having fun means "having fun") Fifth, master the knowledge of ancient culture and make a good pause. The ancients had surnames, first names, characters, titles, posthumous title, modest names, self-styled names, posthumous title, respectful names, official names and stylistic names. If you encounter these situations, you will have to pause. Such as: 1, Chen Shengsheng, Yangcheng people also, word/involved. 2, snake catcher/said. 3. Simple room/inscription. 4. Ailian is awkward. 5, start/table. 6. The horse stops talking. 7. Han/Prime Minister/Zhuge/Wuhou Temple.
