Five-character poems came into being after the early Tang Dynasty, including five-character poems and five-character quatrains. The five-character poems before the Tang Dynasty are generally called "five-character ancient poems" or "five-character poems".
Among the four ancient poems, there are five-character quatrains, which is a genre of traditional Chinese poetry, referred to as five-character quatrains for short, and refers to a small poem with five words and four sentences that conforms to the norms of metrical poetry.
There are five-character metrical poems in Eight Ancient Poems, which are one kind of metrical poems. A five-character eight-sentence poem that conforms to the norms of rhythmic poetry is a five-character rhythmic poem.
Original poem:
Wandering Son Tang Dynasty: Meng Jiao
The mother used the needle and thread in her hand to make clothes for her long-distance son.
Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.
Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?
Explanation:
The kind mother is holding a needle and thread in her hand, making new clothes for the children who are going on a long trip. Before leaving, he sewed the needle tightly for fear that his son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged. Who said that a weak and filial person can repay the kindness of such a loving mother as Chunhui Puze?
For example, Li Bai's "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone", a five-character ancient poem in the Tang Dynasty, is 14:
One of the four poems about the bright moon: Li Bai in Tang Dynasty
Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone. Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.
The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind. I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring.
The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering. Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness.
I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way.
Explanation:
I put a pot of wine among the flowers and poured it myself. I don't have any relatives or friends around me. Raise a glass to the sky, invite the bright moon, reflect on me, and you will become three people. The moon can't appreciate the joy of drinking, and the shadow can only follow me silently. For the time being, with the shadow of the bright moon, spring night should take this opportunity to eat, drink and be merry.
I sing poetry, the moon lingers with me, dancing and dancing, and the shadow lingers with me. Share joy with you when you are awake, and go your separate ways when you are drunk. I would like to form an eternal friendship with them, forget the harm and meet at the edge of the misty galaxy.
