Old-style poetry is one of many literary genres, and its limitations are also its charm. You can't break a crane just because its feet are too long, and you can't force it to stretch just because a person is too short. The same is true of writing old poems. Obey its rules before entering its room, and then talk about other things. & ltbr & gt There has always been a dispute between old and new rhymes about phonology, which is based on everyone's preferences and habits. Personally, I'm used to using the old rhyme, but it's normal for someone to want to use the new rhyme. However, even if a new rhyme is used, it should not be pressed at will. It is best to indicate the new rhyme at the same time. & ltbr & gt The New Rhyme Book generally refers to the New Rhyme of Chinese (Fourteen Rhymes), but even the Chinese Poetry Society, which wrote this rhyme book, pointed out that the relationship between the New Rhyme Book and the Old Rhyme Book is "respecting the present and knowing the past, and the two tracks are parallel; Today, we might as well be ancient, but leniency does not hinder strictness ",and especially pointed out:" The reform of poetic rhyme is not to cancel the smooth clouds and waters. The word "ancient" in the policy of learning to know the ancient times refers to "smooth clouds and water" The "double track" refers to "smooth clouds and water". The reform of rhyme is to "allow the use of new rhyme" and advocate new rhyme. Never talk about the reform of rhyme from "single track" to "double track", so as to cancel the "smooth cloud and water" & ltbr & gt also pointed out: "The rhyme reform is not to" change "the smooth cloud and water, let alone let people read ancient poems with this rhyme, but to establish a new rhyme system based on Putonghua." "Knowing the past" means learning "Ping Yun Shui" and knowing how to enter the voice. In addition, in order to inherit the tradition of classical poetry, we should also study "Ping" and master Rusheng characters. That's what the so-called "respecting the past and knowing the present, two tracks in parallel" means. & ltbr & gt However, using new rhymes does not mean ignoring the basic meter of old poems, which are two different things. Metre is the basis of old poetry. If we even cancel this, it will be a real revolution-it will completely kill old poetry. & ltbr & gt Most friends who don't want to follow the rules say that the rules are too difficult to learn. Actually, it's not difficult. It's just a change from four basic sentence patterns. You can recite these four sentence patterns without listening to a song or replying to a post if you say something unpleasant. & ltbr & gt One or four basic sentence patterns: The old-style poems we are talking about are gradually formed after the Tang Dynasty, and they have strict requirements on the level of parallelism, antithesis and words, which are different from the old-style poems in the Book of Songs and Yuefu. There are three styles: quatrains (four sentences each), metrical poems (generally eight sentences each) and parallel poems (more than ten sentences each). But no matter which style, its foundation comes from quatrains. & ltbr & gt quatrains have four sentence patterns:
