Does the charm of contemporary classical poetry still exist?

If you want to ask what is the most colorful and valuable traditional culture in China, then classical poetry will definitely rank first. Even in modern times, we can export many excellent works handed down from ancient times, so poetry is undoubtedly a great treasure in the history of China literature. Poetry can always bring comfort to people's lives. Say goodbye to the busyness of life and the noise of the city. Finding a quiet place or reading a few short poems or improvising lyrics should be regarded as the happiest way of life. However, many people just read poetry, but they have never studied the skills and laws of poetry creation. Modern people cannot write poetry. One is that there is no atmosphere of ancient creation and there is a lack of poetry in life. At the same time, modern people do not understand the norms of poetry creation. When we are intoxicated with the beauty of poetry, sometimes writing a poem is also a very elegant habit. When we truly understand the creation of poetry, we will find out how difficult it is to produce a poem and realize the beauty brought by writing poetry. The following small series will give you a brief understanding of some foundations in the creation of metrical poems.

The source of poetry can be traced back to The Book of Songs, when people had intentionally expressed their feelings in the form of poetry. Before the Tang Dynasty, the creation of ancient poetry was relatively free, and many literati could create according to their favorite style. In the Tang Dynasty, poetry reached the peak of ancient culture, and many famous great poets emerged during this period. At this time, the requirements for poetry were more stringent, and then metrical poetry appeared, which is what we now call modern poetry. The ancients paid attention to Fiona Fang's disorganization, especially poetry creation, and the appearance of metrical style made poetry creation more rigorous. Although there are many requirements for metrical poems, some of them are reasonable. Metric poems are more rhythmic than the previous free poems, which makes the poems have a sense of rhythm.

This great change in China's poetry stems from the strict requirements of metrical poetry for flat rhythm. In ancient times, tones were divided into flat tone, rising tone, rising tone, falling tone and entering tone, which were collectively called flat tone, while rising tone, falling tone and entering tone were collectively called Nuo tone. However, with the development of phonetics, tones in most parts of the north have lost their entering tones, and today's Mandarin is based on Beijing pronunciation, so modern Chinese has no entering tones and has merged the previous entering characters. This is also the direct reason why there are many contradictions in the study of classical poetry with modern tones. Even so, many modern people still write poems with ancient sounds, and a poem with new rhyme is much worse than that with flat rhyme. But for beginners, in order to avoid the tangle of words, we can start practicing from the familiar new rhyme.

Judging from the length of poems, four poems are called quatrains, eight poems are called metrical poems, five-character poems are called five words, and seven-character poems are called seven words. For example, "seven words" refers to metrical poems with seven words and eight sentences. Comparatively speaking, longer metrical poems are more organized than quatrains, and the total couplets of metrical poems are called the first couplet, the parallel couplet, the neck couplet and the tail couplet respectively. In particular, it should be noted that the antithesis of couplets and necklaces in regular poems is equivalent to two couplets, but the antithesis in regular poems is far more difficult than ordinary couplets, because it is much more difficult to pay attention to the rhyme of regular poems. Therefore, before learning to write metrical poems, you can practice antithesis from the antithesis, so that when writing poems, you won't be entangled in the problem of untidiness of antithesis.

In addition, when writing four sentences corresponding to metrical poems, it is required to "start from the beginning to the end", and "start" means to arouse the whole poem. Many poems have made people understand what the author wants to write when they are read. We can start with scenery, time and things. In short, it is necessary to attract the whole poem. "Cheng" is the inheritance of the previous sentence, which can describe the previous sentence in a deeper level and make the turn of the latter sentence more natural. From the meaning of the word "Zhuan", we can see that Zhuan sentence can no longer be confined to the above sentences and sentences, but should be written from another angle. If the first two sentences are about scenery, then the turn sentence will begin to blend in with emotion and discussion. "He" is the integration of the first three sentences. In the whole poem, harmony sentences are very important. The quality of a poem depends largely on the conclusion sentence, which plays a role in summarizing the whole poem and sublimating emotions. Only when a poem is natural and fluent can it please readers.

All the above are the most basic knowledge of learning to write classical poetry. If you have poetry friends who are interested in learning to write poetry, you need to continue to study in depth. These are just the revelations of poetry. In fact, even in modern times, there are still many people who are willing to calm down and write poems with heart. Therefore, whether in the past or in modern society, poetry is very popular with people. Bian Xiao also believes that the charm of classical poetry will continue to exist. In the future, the atmosphere of writing poetry will become a common practice, and poetry will affect people from generation to generation, so that people can live a refined life!
