He said, "The power of poetry includes not only the beauty of music (syllables) and painting (words), but also the beauty of architecture (symmetry of knots and uniformity of sentences)." This is the so-called three beauties, namely, the beauty of music, painting and architecture. Musical beauty. The poem "Dead Water" has even rhythm, neat rhythm and a sense of rhythm. The poem consists of five paragraphs, each with four lines. The number of sound feet in each line is the same: four sound feet, and all of them are three two-character feet and one three-character foot, but the arrangement of sound feet is different, and each line ends with two-character feet. Reading cadence, catchy, beautiful rhyme and clear rhythm. The beauty of painting. "Dead Water" attaches importance to the use of color and pursues the picture effect of poetry. The poet described a pool of stinking stagnant water, but he tried his best to write the picturesque beauty of this pool with gorgeous words such as jade, peach blossom, Luo Qi, cloud and pearl. Show the poet's disgust and anger at old China with sharp contrast.
The beauty of architecture. The poetic structure of Dead Water is neat and symmetrical, with the same number of words in each line and the same number of lines in each paragraph, which makes the appearance of the poem reflect the symmetry and unity of the building. Naturally, this rigid and dried-up poetic form matches the "stagnant water" that the poet wants to curse.
Musical beauty refers to the combination of musical factors such as musical ruler and rhyme foot, which constitutes the rhythm and rhythm of poetry, while the harmony of syllables and rhyme foot constitutes the musical beauty of poetry and becomes the basic motive force of poetry. The beauty of painting mainly refers to the choice of words in poetry, that is, the language of poetry requires the beauty, color, visual image and intuition of poetry. Architectural beauty mainly means that from the overall appearance of poetry, paragraphs should be symmetrical and lines should be uniform. Although there is no need to rigidly limit the number of words in each line to be equal, in order to achieve a sense of uniformity, the differences between lines should not be too big.
