1, different concepts.
Rhyme is a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. Named for its strict metrical requirements.
Quatrains, also known as truncated sentences, broken sentences, short sentences and quatrains, belong to a form of modern poetry.
2. Different origins
Metric poems originated from Shen Yue and other new-style poems that emphasized the antithesis of metrical poems in the Southern Dynasties, and were further developed and stereotyped by Shen Quanqi and Song Wenzhi in the early Tang Dynasty, which prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The quatrains originated from the short chapters of Yuefu in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, and their names may come from the "couplets" written by literati in the Six Dynasties. According to the literature, there was a custom of writing poems in the banquets of literati in the Six Dynasties, and each person wrote four sentences and five words to synthesize a whole poem.
Seek confrontation:
These four verses all have a specific name. The first couplet is called the first couplet, the second couplet is called the platoon couplet, the third couplet is called the neck couplet and the fourth couplet is called the tail couplet. The upper and lower sentences of every metrical poem are antithetical sentences, and the first couplet and the last couplet can be right or wrong.
The first characteristic of duality is that syntax should be the same. For example, the first sentence of the first couplet of One Night Abroad has no predicate, and the second sentence is relatively meaningless. The sentence pattern of the upper sentence of the couplet is "subject-predicate-object", and so is the next sentence. The neck couplet uses the same sentence pattern.
