What are the similarities and differences between poems and words?

Similarities between poems and words:

1 is a combination of literature and music, which can be used to sing.

2, all pay attention to flat rhyme. Poetry mostly uses flat rhyme, so the words are different.

3. They are all of the same ancestry as The Book of Songs and Songs of the South.

The difference between poems and words;

1, different forms of expression.

First, the topic is different. Poetry has different themes; Words have epigrams. Before the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only epigrams. After Su Shi, there were questions behind the epigraph.

Second, the sentence patterns are different. The sentence pattern of poetry is fixed, and the sentence pattern of words is rich and colorful, from one sentence to seven sentences.

Third, the rhymes are different. The poem is neat, but the words are not neat. Metric poems only use flat and flat rhymes, rhyme to the end, rhyme every other sentence, and the first sentence may or may not rhyme. The words are flat and even, with rhyme in the middle and variable rhyme feet, but according to the rules of meter.

Fourth, the number of words is different. The number of words in a poem is fixed. And the words used are different according to different aphorisms. According to the number of words, it can be divided into small order (less than 58 words), medium order (59-90 words) and long tune (more than 9 1 word). The least number of words is 16, which is called 16, and the most is Jiuji, which reaches 270 words.

Fifth, the composition is different from the paragraph. Poetry is not segmented. Words can be segmented. Words that are not segmented are called monotonicity. Segmented parts are called upper and lower parts or upper and lower gaps. The second couplet and the third couplet of metrical poems must be antithetical, but the antithesis of words is much more flexible and can be filled in according to the epigraph.

2, the performance content is different.

First, the language styles are different. Poetry is solemn and words are charming. "Poetry expresses ambition", and poetry is more straightforward. Words are different, because "words express feelings", words are more entertainment, and words should be hidden.

The second is that the sentences are different. Ci breaks the rhythm of poetry, and the sentence patterns are diverse, which makes Ci more attractive. Poetry is solemn and generous, suitable for expressing great feelings.

To put it simply, poetry is wide and long, and both have their own strengths. Poetry and ci are both forms of verse in literature of past dynasties. The different performances of the two include the following aspects:

Poetry is a wonderful structure of words and characters for people to recite; Ci is a wonderful structure of language and writing, and can also be used as the lyrics of a certain piece of music for people to sing. Simply put, poetry has nothing to do with music, while words are attached to music tunes. It should be noted that when we say that poetry has nothing to do with music, we mean that we can't say this after the Tang and Song Dynasties, including before the Tang Dynasty. Poetry first refers to the works in The Book of Songs. These works were formed in the Zhou Dynasty, and in form, they are generally four words and one sentence, four sentences and one chapter, and three or four chapters are one article. The so-called poems in Qin and Han dynasties refer to these works. At that time, most of these works could be sung by music, so they were called poems from the perspective of language and writing, and songs from the perspective of musicality. Poetry at this time cannot be said to have nothing to do with music. By the Western Han Dynasty, no one sang these works, and these poems began to have nothing to do with music.

Apart from the main differences mentioned above, the form of poetry has not changed since the Tang Dynasty, and it is nothing more than five-character or seven-character archaism and metrical style. Each piece of music has its own sentence pattern, which consists of long sentences and short sentences. Another feature of words is that they have two topics. Since Su Shi, the content of Ci has expanded, and another topic is needed to summarize the content of Ci. The first question is the name of the tone, and the second question is the name of the word.

In addition, as far as the phonology of words is concerned, poems and words are also very different. The harmonious voice of poetry needs a clear distinction between flat and level. Where intonation should be used, words of falling tone, rising tone and entering tone can be used. The pronunciation of a word is strict because it must be able to match the music. It should distinguish not only flat tones, but also four tones. In terms of rhyme, the rhyme method of words is more complicated than that of poems, and the change of rhyme method of words varies with the tone of words. Therefore, poetry is easier to write than to write.
