How to explain the "rhythmic beauty" of Tang poetry and Song poetry

On the Beauty of Rhythm

Poetry creation should pay attention to artistry and several aspects, one of which is "rhythm", and pay attention to the collocation of words and the harmony of tones. In these aspects, the ancients had a lot of incisive expositions, so I won't quote the classics here (there are a series of books such as poems, words and qupin, so interested friends may wish to have a look).

When it comes to the rhythm of poetry, it generally includes three aspects: first, it was first proposed by Shen Yue in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was widely used in metrical poems after the prosperous Tang Dynasty, mainly focusing on the coordination of flat tones; The second is duality. In verse, especially in metrical poems, the skillful use of duality is strict, and it is generally correct in sentences. There are still many sentences in Fu and Eight-part essay. Words that refer to the same rhyme will regularly appear in the right place (usually at a pause). These three aspects all come from the characteristics of Chinese pronunciation, that is, monosyllabic morphemes are dominant and have tones. When writing poems, especially metrical poems, the use of parallelism, duality and rhyme is good and natural, which can enhance the sense of music and present the beauty of rhythm. If you don't use it well, it will give people a feeling of thankless, and even harm the meaning with words. Parallel prose from the Six Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty is an obvious example. This is the basic skill that every poetry lover must master.

Here I mainly talk about my views on rhyme.

In prose language, there are few rhymes, but it is not without rhymes. Rhyme is commonly used (including fu, poetry, words, songs, etc. ), which means rhyming words. The first form of rhyme is sentence by sentence rhyme, that is, rhyme to the end, which can be seen in some lyrics and American texts. Second, every other sentence rhymes. Most poems rhyme every other sentence, only the first two rhymes. The situation of words is more complicated, including rhyming sentence by sentence, rhyming every other sentence and rhyming every other sentence. Most of the rhymes are rhyming in the whole article, and some long works are also rhyming in the middle.

There are many differences between ancient and modern rhymes. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, such as Qieyun and Tangyun, the division was very fine. Guang Yun in Song Dynasty was designated as 206 rhymes, but because some rhymes can be used together, the actual rhyme was 1 12 in Tang Dynasty, 108 in Song Dynasty and 65438 in Jin Yuan. It can be divided into four parts: leveling, ascending, going and entering. Flat tones include the rhyme of 15, the rhyme of 15, the rhyme of15, and the rhyme of15. The rising tone includes a building with two surges and 29 rhymes, the falling tone includes one song, two songs and 30 rhymes, and the entering tone includes one room and two wo 17 rhymes.

Rhyme is the strictest in metrical poetry. Many words, such as "final", "wind" and "gong" in East China and "bell", "peak" and "gong" in East China, are pronounced the same now, but metrical poems can't pass. If you pass, you will make a rhyme mistake and be laughed at. After the middle Tang Dynasty, the exam fell behind.

Rhyme also has the difficulty of choosing rhyme and secondary rhyme. You will encounter difficulties when writing poems. For example, the four tones and eleven truths in Pingsheng contain many words and are easy to choose, so it is called Guang Yun. Rhymes like Wuwei and Twelve-character Rhyme contain fewer words and are difficult to choose, so they are called narrow rhymes. There are also some rhymes, such as Sanjiang and Fifteen Salts, which contain fewer words and are difficult to choose. They are called dangerous rhymes. But there are also friends who "limit rhyme" and are close to word games. Poets must pay attention to the choice of rhyme when writing poems.

After the Song Dynasty, it was a kind of "rhyme restriction" to get used to rhyming with other people's poems. Many scholars like to play this kind of rhyming acrobatics and watch kung fu in difficult movements. Su Dongpo wrote a poem for the first time, which is refined and natural: "Life should be like flying snow mud. You occasionally leave your fingers and claws in the mud, and Hong Fei is a complicated thing. The old monk is dead and has fallen into the new tower and broken wall. " The road is full of people. "

Having said that, does it mean that everyone should use rhyme when writing poetry, and without rhyme, it is not a good poem? On the contrary, we advocate innovation. "Sticking to the rules everywhere will damage the artistic conception of words and reduce the artistry of words at the same time. The rules of writing serve people. We can't be their slaves and let the ideological content accommodate them. "

I just want everyone to know about "Chen" and then "new". Moreover, poetry friends often rhyme, and some friends like to make poems with the same meter. At this time, we can follow the old meter and keep the reasonable parts of the old meter, such as stickiness, antithesis and rhyme, but the pronunciation will start from now on. In fact, we did this when we were reading ancient poems. Like "it's far from Lengshan."

This rhyme has many systematic rhymes. I recommend you to use the new rhymes of China New Rhyme, including *** 18, such as Yima, Erlang and Trilogy. Each rhyme is divided into four tones: flat tone, rising tone, rising tone and falling tone, which are stipulated according to the pronunciation of Putonghua. Using it to rhyme naturally conforms to the reading habits of modern people. Besides,
