brief introduction
Yongming style is a kind of poetic style that appeared in China during the period of Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasties. Also known as new poetry. Zhou Qing, a phonologist at that time, discovered and founded the theory of four tones, and used four tones and two tones to study the coordination of sound, rhyme and tone in poetry, and put forward the theory that eight diseases (flat head, tail, bee waist, crane knee, big rhyme, small rhyme, positive button and side button) must be avoided. Yongming style is characterized by paying attention to four tones, avoiding eight diseases and emphasizing rhyme and meter. Eight writers under Wang Xiao of Jingling in the Southern Dynasties: Xie Tiao, Li, Fan Li, Lu Shu (collectively called Eight Friends of Jingling) are all authors of Yongming style poems. Its representatives have always been Xie Tiao, Shen Yue and Wang Rong. During the period from Qi Yongming to Chen Liang 100, there were more than 90 people including Wu Jun, He Xun, Yin Keng, Xu Ling and Yu Xin. , a useful attempt was made to the new style poetry, which laid the foundation for the emergence and development of metrical poetry in the Tang Dynasty.
