First, ancient poetry
Ancient poetry refers to a verse genre with specific metrical norms formed around the Qing Dynasty. This genre is divided into two categories: poetry and ci. From the time of formation, the formation of words is later than that of poems. Among them, poetry is divided into ancient poetry and modern poetry. Ancient poetry refers to the poems of various periods before the Tang Dynasty, such as the chapters and sentences in the Book of Songs, the songs of Chu in the Han Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yuefu poems and so on.
Modern poetry is a kind of poetry with neat sentences and strict meter, which was gradually formed in the Tang Dynasty. Generally, it is five or seven words, and the two sentences are connected together and rhyme with each other, which usually can balance the rhyme. Among them, two sentences are combined into a poem, that is, four sentences are called quatrains, five sentences are called five-character quatrains or five-character quatrains for short, and seven-character quatrains are called seven-character quatrains; There are also four chapters, namely, one poem and eight sentences, which are called metrical poems, five words are called five laws and seven words are called seven laws.
Second, the benefits
1, reading poetry can cultivate people's poetic nature. Poets are personalized and poetic. They are more sensitive than usual, so they can better understand the pain and crisis of an era. Ancient poetry bears the long history and splendid culture of the Chinese nation and is an important part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. By studying and inheriting ancient poems, we can understand the wisdom and feelings of the ancients and feel the profoundness of traditional culture.
Reading poems can help us understand the prosperity and decline of literature. Poetry is not only the source of literature, but also the epitome of literature. The decline of poetry reflects the decline of literature. It can strengthen cultural cultivation, especially the cultivation of China traditional culture.
3. It helps to cultivate patriotism. For example, Yue Fei's Man Jianghong and Wang Changling's Qin and Han Shiguan all help to cultivate the feelings of patriotism and love for home.
4. Enrich knowledge and enhance wisdom. Ancient poetry enriches the expression of Chinese with its unique expression. Under the limited vocabulary and expression, the ancients created colorful and far-reaching sentences through rhetorical devices such as phonology, rhyme and antithesis, which greatly broadened the expressive ability of language.
