If you want to learn ancient and modern poetry creation, you must first understand the rhythm. Rhythm is like a stepping stone to get started in poetry creation, and it is also the foundation of poetry creation. Poems without rhyme will lose their emotional color and beauty, just like a glass of boiled water, tasteless. Any poem with rhythm can be read in a rhythmic and catchy way. When recited aloud, the poem is full of emotion and pleasant to the ears. The listener's emotions fluctuate with the artistic conception in the poem, making people feel that there is a smooth and looping rhythmic beauty. In order to help friends better understand the rhythm of poetry, we will briefly introduce the rhythm of poetry (mainly modern rhyme) below: One Rhyme Liu Xie's "Wen Xin Diao Long - Rhythm" has " Although the phrase "the same sound corresponds to the rhyme" is different from our modern interpretation, it still reveals the basic characteristics of the style of Chinese words and sentences. The rhyme we usually refer to is actually the special name for opera, folk art, poetry and lyrics - Hezhe rhyme. That is to say, the words and phrases in poems, etc., echo and have a rhyming relationship. 1. Hezhu rhyme. The so-called Hezhe rhyme simply means that the ending words of two sentences with the same final rhymes rhyme together. As we all know, the pronunciation of Chinese characters is composed of initial consonants and finals (a few numbers only have finals). For example, the character "Han" has the initial consonant h and the final rhyme "an". Together they are pronounced "han" (汉). The rhyme of Hezhe has nothing to do with the initial consonant. For example, in the word "tan", the initial consonant is d and the final rhyme is an. Although the pronunciation of the two words is different, the same rhyme final - an is used in the last word of the poem to create a rhyming effect. Here are two sentences to explain: A strong man is like a cannonball. The last words of the two sentences rhyme with an, which is easy to read and remember, and is also a basic feature of the poetry style. 2 Rhyme classification The concept of modern Mandarin is based on Northern dialect and the pronunciation of Beijing dialect. I personally think that we should still advocate the use of modern (new) rhyme based on Beijing dialect. This is because ancient rhyme is really difficult for most people to master, and it is not conducive to learning and creation by beginners. Judging from the poems (including lyrics, etc.) created by modern people, they basically follow the traditional "Thirteen Rhymes" and use Beijing pronunciation as the standard to rhyme. "Thirteen rhymes" means thirteen rhymes. This classification of rhymes originated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and has a history of about four to five hundred years. Judging from the specific content of pronunciation, it is the fusion and merging of several rhyme parts with similar pronunciations, also called ton rhyme. The following is a brief list of the more popular rhyme names and the finals and pronunciations contained in them for your reference: The final rhymes and pronunciations contained in the rhyme names are 17i (—i) v (er) i v Gusu u u 发花a ia ua a suobo o e uo o e 乜廜ie ve ie ve huailai ai uai ai ash pile ei uei ei yaotiao ao uao ao yiqiou iou ou yanqianan ian uan van an 人chenen in uen vn en 江阳ang iang uang ang Middle East eng ing ueng ong iong eng ong The above is the list of thirteen ruts for your reference. 3. Rhyming way The way of rhyming poetry has both traditional inheritance and modern innovation and development. The rhyme patterns of modern poetry are generally relatively flexible, and some poems even do not even have rhyme. For example, some prose poems or free verse have no rhyme at all, but the arrangement and combination of words have the appearance of poetry. The author actually believes that as long as it is poetry, it should still have rhythm. Only poetry with rhythm can be regarded as poetry in the true and complete sense. However, the poet's author has certain choices about the way of rhyming. This is because choosing different ways will produce different effects, which plays a greater role in the perfect expression of the artistic conception of the poem. Improper choice of method will directly affect the expression of the content of the poem and weaken the beauty of the poem. Poetry authors generally use the following rhyming methods: (1) Tong rhyme. Every sentence in a poem rhymes, that is to say, the rhyme throughout the poem is called Tong rhyme (arrangement rhyme), which is also commonly known as iron rhyme. It is characterized by a strong sense of rhyme, a strong poetic flavor, and is easy to read and remember. The disadvantage is that sometimes the choice of words and sentences is limited in order to consider rhyme, thus affecting the expression of meaning. The post "With -------" that the author will post on this page is the chosen rhyme, which rhymes with "ash pile". Please check it out. (2) Skipping rhyme This is a more common rhyme pattern. One sentence is skipped and one rhyme is also called alternate sentence rhyme or two-sentence rhyme. It means that every other sentence has a rhyme. Regardless of single sentences, both sentences must rhyme, and some also rhyme at the beginning of the sentence. Its characteristic is that the rhyme points are neatly distributed and have a strong sense of rhyme. The biggest advantage is that there is no need to rhyme every sentence like in rhyme. This saves half of the sentences from considering rhyme, which affects the choice of words and sentences and the development of content. Please refer to the post "The moon is very close to me, you are far away from me" that the author will post, using skip rhyme. (3) It is difficult to change the rhyme of a long poem to the end, because only one rhyme is used in a long poem, which puts great limitations on the expression of poetic meaning and the choice of words and phrases. Therefore, poetry writers often adopt the method of changing the rhyme. rhyme way to solve this problem. That is to say, in a long poem, using more than two rhymes is called changing rhymes. This rhyme pattern is more common in long poems, so I won’t give examples. (4) Cross-rhyme means that odd-numbered sentences and even-numbered sentences rhyme independently, that is, they rhyme alternately with each other. This rhyme pattern was first seen in the "Book of Songs" and is also found in modern poetry, but it is not common.

The author still writes a short poem to explain: The candle burns the weak body to bring light to others. She spent her whole life destroying herself and writing a glorious life with tears. The first three sentences use "Yiqi rhyme"; the second and fourth sentences use "Middle East" rhyme, which is cross rhyme. (5) Holding rhyme. Some poetry writers also adopt such a rhyme pattern. Although it is rare, it appears from time to time. In a poem of four lines and one verse, one or four lines rhyme, and two or three lines rhyme. In order to better explain the problem, the author still writes a poor poem to illustrate: Loving you does not require a reason, and there is no distance. As long as you decide to do something, you need to work hard and diligently. The first four lines rhyme, the second three lines rhyme. The former uses the rhyme of "一七", while the latter uses the rhyme of "人chen". The former follows the rhyme of the latter. This rhyme pattern is even rarer and will not be explained here. (6) Overlapping rhymes The "overlapping" here does not refer to the overlapping of the preceding and following words, but the overlapping of the preceding and following sentences. It means that the last two words of the preceding and following sentences in the poem have the same rhyme. In other words, the word "rhyme" (at the end) has two rhymes, and the last word is a light syllable rhyme. This rhyme pattern is even rarer in poetry, but more common in folk arts and children's songs. In order to deepen your understanding, the author has compiled a poem to explain: You and I have been apart for a long time, and the days are like three autumns. Although I think about it day and night, the sweetness moistens my heart. The second character at the end (Jiu`Qiu` head) rhymes with "Youqiu", and the last character rhymes with "Fahua". This is the so-called repeated rhyme. 4. Rhyme selection When choosing rhyme in poetry, the following factors are generally considered: (1) The content and emotional factors of the work. The first thing is to make full use of the characteristics of rhyme and oblique timbre to express the rich and colorful emotions of poetry. Rhymes such as "Fahua", "Jiangyang", "Middle East" and "Yanqian" are pronounced in an open-mouthed rhyme, with a louder tone. Choosing such a rhyme is suitable for expressing impassioned and unrestrained ambition. For example, Wen Tianxiang's poem "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" uses the "Middle Eastern" rhyme, which fully expresses the author's exciting and magnificent feelings, and also enables readers to experience the passion of patriotism when reciting the poem. 2. The rhymes such as "一七", "Gusu" and "Xuobo" are pronounced in closed-mouth (closed-mouth) rhymes, and the timbre is relatively soft. Choosing such a rhyme is suitable for expressing melancholy and sad emotions. For example, Lu You's "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix" uses the rhyme "Xuo Bo", which better reflects the author's mixed feelings and unbearable sadness when recalling his deep relationship with his cousin Tang Wan, and also makes readers deeply understand I can deeply feel the author's grief and sorrow. (2) Characteristic factors of the rhyme itself Among the thirteen rhymes of Chinese characters, no matter which rhyme it is, there is a question of how many Chinese characters it contains. There are broad rhymes and narrow rhymes. Wide rhymes such as Yanqian, Jiangyang, Middle East, Renchen, Fahua, Yaotiao, Yiqi and other rhymes are chosen by most authors as rhymes because they include many commonly used Chinese characters and have strong word-formation abilities. Especially when writing longer poems, choose broad rhymes. Narrow rhymes, such as 圜skew and other rhymes, include only a handful of Chinese characters and have poor word-formation ability, so they are rarely used by poetry writers. (3) The musical factor of poetry Because many poems are sung, the author must take this factor into consideration if he considers the function of composing music when creating. If it is a majestic and heroic song, you should choose rhymes such as Yanqian, Jiangyang, and Middle East. If the song is adapted for a female voice, using Yiqi rhyme will make it easier for the female singer to sing loud and beautiful. In short, no matter what kind of rhyme you choose, it must be determined according to the specific situation and there is no need to copy it. Especially when writing short poems, you can just follow your feelings and write whatever comes to your mind. If the more you write, the more awkward you feel and the difficulty in expressing your meaning clearly. You can also change the rhyme and rewrite until you are satisfied. 5 Rhyme Arrangement The rhyme arrangement of classical poetry has a certain format. You just need to create it according to the format. I won’t introduce it here. Modern poetry is more flexible, which is related to the diversity of free verse genres. However, it can be roughly divided into the following types: First, the sentence structure and rhythm are neat and orderly. This kind of poem is often divided into several paragraphs, each paragraph has the same number of sentences. In order to make the rhyme arrangement reasonable, most of them have an even number of sentences. Usually the even-numbered sentences rhyme, and the first sentence of each paragraph may or may not rhyme. Second, the rhythm of the sentences is uneven. This is more common in free verse and prose poetry, and its rhyme arrangement is irregular. Some paragraphs have a common rhyme, some paragraphs skip rhyme, and some paragraphs change rhyme within them. No matter what rhyme pattern is adopted, the rhymes are not too far apart. It can be seen from this that the rhyme of modern poetry is arranged more flexibly according to the needs of the content. Third, the sentence structure and rhythm are inconsistent. Such poems are often called free verse. Authors often divide a longer poem into staircase-like lines to enhance the ups and downs of emotion. However, rhymes are generally sparse. Some rhymes are arranged every few sentences, and some even have only one rhyme in a paragraph. Of course, this depends on the situation. Although the sentences are divided into several lines, most of them are rhymed in the form of common rhyme and skip rhyme. See the author's post "Love", the sentence structure of the stairs, each rhyme. 2. Rhythm Rhythm mainly refers to the format and standards of classical poetry in terms of number of words, counterpoint, level and rhyme. The biggest difference between classical poetry and modern poetry is that classical poetry has a stricter rhythm, and rhythm is the foundation. Therefore, here we still use the rhythm of ancient poetry to explain the rhythm.

1. Vocal rate is actually the level requirement in tone, which refers to the long and short rhythm and high and low rhythm of the tone, that is, the alternation of long and short tones and the alternation of high and low tones. Appropriate use of flat. The tones will be harmonious and balanced, giving the poems a rhythm of ups and downs, just as Liu Xie said in "Wen Xin Diao Long - Tone Rhythm" that "different tones follow each other, which is called harmony", so that the poems will have "the same tone". The rhyme of "correspondence" and the rhythm of "different sounds follow each other" will undoubtedly give people a beautiful enjoyment. There is a difference between ancient times and modern times. To be concise and concise, we will talk about it from a modern perspective. Everyone knows that Chinese Pinyin is divided into four tones: Yinping (one tone), Yangping (second tone), Shangteng (third tone), and Qu tone (fourth tone). The so-called "ping" refers to the first and second tones of Chinese; "廄" refers to the third and fourth tones of Chinese. This is required for every word in ancient poetry, and I will introduce it later. 2 Antithesis Antithesis is a duality, just like the ancient guard of honor, facing each other. It mainly refers to the duality relationship between the odd and even sentences connected in the rhymed poem. For example, whether it is a five-character or seven-character eight-line poem, one to two, three to four lines (the following analogy) -------, they are all related by couplets. Generally, the first and last couplets can be right or wrong, wide pair or working pair, but the middle two couplets must be working pairs. Please refer to the post "Basic Requirements for Couplets" that the author will post soon. 3. Rhyme Except for the first sentence, which may or may not rhyme, the rest of the sentences have skip rhymes, that is, the even-numbered sentences rhyme. Its main requirements: (1) The rhyme should be at the end of even-numbered sentences. (2) The first sentence may or may not rhyme. (3) Generally one rhyme to the end. (4) Duplication of a word in rhyme is not allowed. 3 Number of words Each poem in ancient poetry has a very standardized number of words. These include: (1) Each poem has a certain total number of words. (2) There is a certain number of sentences. (3) Each sentence has a certain number of words.

For example, a five-character poem has a total of 40 words; 8 sentences; each sentence has five words
