Three-line poems have existed since ancient times. Three-line poetry, this genre of poetry, has been written by poets in history; Among them, Dante's masterpiece Divine Comedy is a poem that uses up to three lines of rhythm. 100 songs in the divine comedy are all written in "three-line rhyme" or "three-line chain rhyme".
Each song is a long string of three-line poems connected by a link. ? Xu Shan's poetry collection "In order not to be confused-Xu Shan's short poems1000" (2004) is written in three lines. Li, the author of the poem, wrote a poem in the form of the Pear Blossom School, named Li Sanxing Poem, which was published on the Internet in the form of a blog.
Poetry is distinguished by lines rather than words. It is put forward that short poems generally do not exceed 30 words, which is aimed at the "micro" of short poems and is a requirement for the relatively standardized number of short poems. If one line is dozens or more, three lines can be written into a short essay. Can you call it a mini poem? Therefore, this restriction is "necessary".
At the same time, limiting the number of micro-poems to no more than 30 words is also in line with the normal vision and reading habits of human eyes. Generally speaking, people can't read a line of poetry in about ten words, so the number of words in a mini-poem limited to three lines should generally not exceed 30 words. For example, the title of a newspaper is generally about ten words.
For example, Wu and Wang Jue said in On the Layout Strategy of Metropolis Daily (Journal of Southwest University for Nationalities,No. 1 1 in 2005): "The main title of Huaxi Daily is generally within 12, with more and more short titles and few figures."
Wang Junchao of the Center for International Communication Studies of Tsinghua University also pointed out in the article "Contemporary Popular Newspaper Layout Criticism": "In the layout design practice of some mainstream newspapers, it is generally required that the title and main title should not exceed 12.
Because the extension of the topic often means the enhancement of strength. For those reports that don't need to be particularly prominent, if the title is too long, start; In addition, too long titles will also cause readers visual fatigue. "In the writing of academic papers, it is also suggested that the title should be controlled within 12 words according to people's general memory characteristics of language.
Ye, deputy director of the News Interview Center of Minbei Daily, said in the article "Realistic Topics: Basic Principles of Making News Headlines —— Reflections on Reading News Works of News Organizations of Previous China News Awards".
Looking through 199 1 the winning news works of China news prize newspaper and news agency in 2002, the main title of China news prize contains punctuation marks of 13.6 words on average, and the main titles of speech and communication are 9.8 words and 10.5 words on average respectively.
So, on the whole, I think according to people's reading habits, mini-poems are about ten words per line. Considering that under normal circumstances, mini-poems have different words per line, long and short sentences are complementary and patchwork, and most mini-poems are less than 30 words.
But the limit of 30 words is not absolute, but "generally not more than". Isn't 3 1 a miniature poem? No dogma.
