How should modern people write metrical poems?

How modern people write metrical poems is as follows:

1. Distinguish the level tones of Chinese characters: In modern Chinese, one or two tones are classified as level tones, and three or four tones are classified as level tones. Because the pronunciation of modern Chinese and ancient Chinese has changed greatly, it is not necessary to emphasize the ancient sound, but to use the flat tone of modern Chinese.

2. Abide by the rules of leveling: Five-character metrical poems pay attention to "no distinction between one, two, three and four", that is, the second and fourth words of each poem are required to strictly abide by the rules of leveling, and other words can be changed appropriately according to the content of the poem. The seven words are "135 whatever, 246 is clear." If you think there are too many rules of leveling in metrical poems, you can recite only one and finish the creation of metrical poems.

3. Words with the same part of speech are completely antithetical: in rhyme, the third and fourth sentences are antithetical, and the fifth and sixth sentences are antithetical. Contradictory verses need to put words of the same part of speech in corresponding positions.

4. Even-numbered sentence endings rhyme: the endings of the second, fourth, sixth and eighth sentences should be put on the same rhyme (the vowels are the same), and the endings of the first sentence can rhyme or not. Because the rhyme of suffix is an important element to reflect the rhythm of the whole poem, it is better to rhyme according to ancient sounds rather than modern Chinese pinyin. You can query the ancient sounds of commonly used rhyming words to complete rhyming.

5. Using allusions in poetry: Using allusions can deepen the culture of poetry, make people understand historical stories when reading poetry, and at the same time, it is easier to arouse readers' admiration.

Extended data:

Metric poetry is a poetic style formed after the Tang Dynasty, which is mainly divided into quatrains and metrical poems. According to the number of words in each sentence, it can be divided into five words and seven words. Style and sentence patterns have certain norms, phonology has certain laws, and the changes in use also need to abide by certain laws.

This ancient and traditional poetic style has a strict structure, and there are certain restrictions on the number of words, lines, even tones or accents and rhymes. It has a certain number of sentences. For example, regular poems generally pay attention to the rhyme of flat and even tones, and the rhyme is antithetical, such as "flat and even tones, flat and even tones." Different countries have different metrical poems. Such as China's modern poems (quatrains and metrical poems), western sonnets, limerick, quatrains, Spanish quatrains, Italian quatrains and Japanese haiku.
