Rules and Requirements of Lyrics —— Talking from the Evening Singing by LAM Raymond, the head teacher

Rules and requirements of lyrics

First, the concept and origin of this word

Ci is a new kind of metrical poem, which was formed in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. Most of the early words were sung in chorus, so the Tang and Five Dynasties were called "Qu, Zaqu, Qu Ci" and so on. Since the Song Dynasty, Ci has been called "music movement, Yuefu, poetry, long and short sentences …" and so on.

Because a single word "word" may refer to lyrics or words in poetry, and because most words in poetry are legalized long and short sentences, we also call words in poetry "metrical words". Rhyme can be said to be an extension of long and short sentences in metrical poems, thus enriching the genre of metrical poems.

1. Fixed paragraphs, sentences and sentences;

A fixed paragraph means that each word consists of one, two or three paragraphs.

A definite sentence means that each word consists of several sentences.

A definite word means that each sentence consists of several words or words.

2. Ping, in the whole word, the ping of each word has specific provisions, which fall on each word.

3. antithesis, most words do not require antithesis, and the place where antithesis is not required can be right or wrong, but there are also a few words that require antithesis in some places. Where confrontation is needed, it must be confronted. For example, the first two sentences, the seven-character quatrains in Man Jiang Hong and the four-character quatrains in Qinyuanchun, demand confrontation.

4. Rhyme, the rhyme of words is wider than that of poems. There are * * * poems 106 in Pei Fu, among which, there are 30 poems 15. In rhyming poems, "Linz Zheng Yun" has 19 parts. The rhyme can only be leveled. Rhyme can be flat, flat or rhyming, or varied.

5. Composition, with the cycle as the unit, undertaken within the cycle and forwarded during the week. A period is equivalent to a couplet of metrical poems.

6. Overlap of words, sentences and rhymes. Some words require words, rhymes and sentences to overlap in a certain position. Such as "Like a Dream".

7. Words should be even, even, and the number of words is basically a regular sentence. Except for five words and seven words, three words, four words and six words are mostly regular sentences. To this, Mr. Wang Li has made an accurate analysis; Three sentences can be considered as the last three words of seven-character sentences, four sentences can be considered as the first four words of seven-character sentences, and six sentences can be considered as the first six words of seven-character sentences. For example, Raw Tea Son is completely composed of five-character metrical poems, which is different from metrical poems in rhyme. Another example is "Huanxisha", which is completely composed of seven-character poems and sentences and rhymes. The difference is only two sentences less than rhyme. Some words are composed of five-character sentences and seven-character sentences, such as three five-character sentences and one seven-character sentence in the upper and lower parts of the Bu operator.
