Parallel couplet is a Chinese vocabulary, pronounced as hànlán, which refers to the second couplet of metrical poems. Rhyme is divided into four parts: the first part, the chin part, the neck part and the tail part. Parallel prose is the second couplet of regular poetry, that is, three or four sentences, which generally requires antithesis. The first couplet is the first and second sentences, the parallel couplet is the third and fourth sentences, the neck couplet is the fifth and sixth sentences, and the tail couplet is the seventh and eighth sentences.
The first sentence of each couplet is called antithesis, and the next sentence is called antithesis. Metric poems are twice as big as quatrains, so you can write more things or scenes and express more detailed emotions. Scattered in the whole, constantly changing, neat and full of content; The five laws are concise, straightforward and powerful, and the seven laws are smooth, which plays the role of spring and youth. Rhyme is difficult to write because it is flat and smooth, rhyming and antithetical.
Rhyme is a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. Named for its strict metrical requirements. Metric poems originated from Shen Yue and other new-style poems that emphasized the antithesis of metrical poems in the Southern Dynasties, and further developed and stereotyped in the early Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, and prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Rhyme has strict rules in word, rhyme, even tone and antithesis.
Metric poems are generally eight sentences each, and more than eight sentences are called parallel sentences or long sentences. An eight-sentence metrical poem, every two sentences are linked together, is called quadruple. Traditionally, the first couplet is the first couplet, the second couplet is the parallel couplet, the third couplet is the neck couplet, and the fourth couplet is the tail couplet. The upper sentence of each couplet is called a sentence, the lower sentence is called a sentence, and the two sentences form a sentence relationship; The relationship between prepositional antithesis sentence and prepositional sentence is called adjacent sentence relationship.
The number of words in a metrical poem is uniform, and each sentence is five or seven words, which are called five-word metrical poem and seven-word metrical poem respectively. The five laws stipulate that every sentence has five words, and the first word is forty words; Seven laws stipulate seven words for each sentence and fifty-six words for the whole sentence. There are also six-character sentences, all of which begin with 48 words, called six-character poems, and there are few works handed down from generation to generation in cherry slips.
The rhythm of metrical poems
1. The rhyme foot is usually flat and must be rhymed according to the words in the rhyme book. In principle, only the original rhyme can be used, not the adjacent rhyme; Even if it is a little looser, the adjacent rhyme can only use the first sentence of rhyme, which is called borrowing rhyme.
2. Rhyme also requires rhyme of the whole poem, that is, rhyme at the end and no rhyme change in the middle. The second, fourth, sixth and eighth sentences rhyme, and the first sentence can be taken or not. The five laws take the sentence of the first hall as a positive example, and the rhyme is a variant; The seven laws take the rhyme of the first sentence as a positive example, and the non-rhyme as a variant.
