Historically, regular poems were collectively called poems, including poems, words, songs and fu. From the perspective of rhythm and time, poetry can be divided into two categories: ancient poetry and modern poetry, which are the concepts formed in the Tang Dynasty.
1, ancient poetry is also called archaism: it refers to all poems before the Tang Dynasty. Chuci and Yuefu poems are also ancient poems.
south of the Yangtze River
HanYueFu
Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves, and fish play between them.
Fish hits the lotus leaf east, fish hits the lotus leaf west, fish hits the lotus leaf south, and fish hits the lotus leaf north.
Like this Yuefu poem, it does not pay attention to antithesis, has unlimited sentences, rhymes freely, is fresh and lively, and is catchy. This is an ancient poem.
2. Modern poetry: Compared with classical poetry, modern poetry is also called modern poetry. It is a kind of metrical poem formed in the Tang Dynasty, and there are strict rules on the number of words, sentences, level tones and rhymes.
Modern poetry can be divided into metrical poems and quatrains.
Second, what is law poetry?
A metrical poem, each with eight sentences, one sentence in five words, one sentence in seven words, and more than eight special sentences, is called excluded rhythm (or long rhythm).
The following seven methods use one of my exercises to introduce the requirements and methods of metrical poetry.
Seven laws: the feeling of spring.
Ice and snow melt everything, (1)
Go for a walk in the garden in spring. (2)
Warm lake waves (3)
The wind on the shore is slight and the vegetation is brilliant. (4)
Willow shadows fluttering call birds, (5)
Spring flowers are called partridge warblers. (6)
Men and women singing in front of the gallery (7)
This country is prosperous and enjoys peace. (8)
The rhythm is divided into four parts,
(1)(2) The first sentence is also called a sentence;
(3)(4) Two sentences are antithetical sentences, also called sentences;
(5)(6) These two sentences are conjunctions, also called turning sentences;
(7)(8) These two sentences are end to end, also called compound sentences.
Among them, the position of even numbers in each sentence is even, like snow/melt/thing in the first sentence, which is even and is the substitution of metrical poems.
Even numbers in the upper and lower sentences of a pair of conjunctions are flat and relative. For example, the word at position 246 in sentence (1) is flush, while the word at position 246 in sentence (2) is flush.
The sentence (1)(2) is flat to flat, which is a relative in metrical poetry.
The next sentence of a pair of conjunctions and the last sentence of the next conjunctions should have an even number of the same words.
That is to say, the 246th "Yuan/Shao/Chun" in sentence (2) is a flat couple, and the 246th "Zhong/Wen/Guang" in sentence (3) is a flat couple, which is the adhesion in metrical poetry.
Then you see, this poem is a rhyme, so the last words of (1)(2)(4)(6)(8) are all a rhyme, a flat Geng rhyme and a rhyme.
Rhyme also requires the two couplets in the middle to be opposite. Take the second couplet as an example, the lake is warm/sunny/sparkling, the shore/wind is weak/the vegetation is glorious, flat and flat, flat and flat, and the words in the upper and lower sentences are equivalent.
Rhyme has a fixed format, and the leveling of octuplets has strict rules, so I won't repeat them here for the time being.
Third, what is a quatrain?
Four lines of quatrains, usually five lines, seven lines and occasionally six lines. Let's watch the quatrains of the ancients-
Thoughts in the dead of night
Tang Libai
The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already?
I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic.
The quatrains are flexible and light, do not require antithesis, and rhyme freely. The quatrains are short and pithy, suitable for capturing fleeting inspiration and expressing your feelings more accurately.
Fourth, the difference between the three.
Poetry is a general term, and quatrains and metrical poems are different branches.
The main difference between quatrains and regular poems is that the number of words is different and the number of sentences is different. A quatrain is a four-part sentence, and a metrical poem is an eight-part sentence.
