First of all, from the word count, each song has five words.
Secondly, the requirement of five-character rhyme is 8 sentences and 5 words, and the requirement of seven-character rhyme is 8 sentences and 7 words, which obviously shows that it is five-character rhyme.
Five-character quatrains are a kind of quatrains, which belong to the category of modern poetry. Quatrains, or truncated sentences, broken sentences, short sentences; Or 2 1 century and 10 years have different interpretations of the "cut-and-half method", such as singing for fun, five-character quatrains, original books and calligraphy. The quatrains are composed of four sentences, which have strict metrical requirements. Common quatrains include five-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains, while six-character quatrains are rare. A five-character four-sentence poem that conforms to the standard of metrical poetry is called a five-character quatrain, which is referred to as the five-character quatrains for short.
Judging from a five-character poem named Jueju written by Northern Zhou poet Yu Xin, the five-character Jueju was not created by the Tang Dynasty poet, but its stylistic form was at least formed at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. "After years of travel, I have a lot of feelings. Recently, I learned Hengyang geese and crossed the river in the autumn equinox. " This is one of Yu Xin's "Three Masterpieces of He Kan". This poem is straightforward and completely in line with the rules of the Tang Dynasty. The second sentence rhymes with the fourth sentence, and the first sentence rhymes with the third sentence. The title of this poem is Jue. But before the Tang Dynasty, there were not many such neat five-character quatrains. It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that modern poetry was produced, and the five-character quatrains gradually improved and finalized. Previously, five-character poems were generally called "five-character ancient poems" or "five-character poems".
Due to the limitation of words, compared with other systems of poetry, five-character quatrains require more conciseness and generalization in language and expression, and are more difficult to create. Zhang Qianyi summed it up with the words "short and long, especially difficult to get into the wonderful". Therefore, the five-character quatrains have naturally become the most dazzling pearl in the poetry of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the essence of Tang poetry. The starting point of the Five Musts was relatively high in the early Tang Dynasty, such as "Four Masters in the Early Tang Dynasty" and Song Wenzhi. Among them, Wang Bo's Five Musts was praised by Shen Deqian as "the beginning of sound" because of his indecision. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, a large number of literati, such as Cui, Meng Haoran, Chu Guangxi and Zuyong, further promoted and improved the five-character poems. Among them, Wang Wei and Li Bai pushed the creation of five-character poems to the extreme, and the development of five-character poems reached the peak of prosperity.
Five-character metrical poetry is a kind of metrical poetry, which refers to a poem with five words and eight sentences, which conforms to the norms of metrical poetry and belongs to the category of modern poetry. Rhyme originated in the Southern Dynasties, and developed from Shen Yue's new-style poems, which focused on rhythm and duality, to Shen Quanqi and Song Wenzhi in the early Tang Dynasty, and matured in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
For the people in the Tang Dynasty, five-character rhythmic poetry is a new poetic style born out of five-character ancient poetry. It inherits the principle that every sentence has a definite character and rhymes every other sentence in the Five Dynasties, and draws lessons from the principles of rhythm and duality of parallel prose, which has developed in many aspects:
1, eight sentences each;
2. The third sentence and the fourth sentence, the fifth sentence and the sixth sentence must be opposite;
3. Leveling must be arranged in a specific format, with one copy correct and two copies pasted;
4. Only rhyme, rhyme has a fixed position, that is, even sentences rhyme (the first sentence can rhyme or not);
5. Strictly speaking, the rhythm form is two double-tone steps plus one single-tone step. The single-tone step can only appear in the sentence or at the end of the sentence, but not at the beginning of the sentence. The levels of two adjacent double-tone steps must be opposite.
According to the above rules, five-character rhythmic poems can be divided into two types: flat and even, and each type can be divided into positive and partial.
