The so-called rhyme is to classify words with the same vowels into one category, which is called rhyme.
All the words in the homonym are homophones. Any poem requires rhyme, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign. The difference is that there are more or less restrictions on rhyme, and there are strict and wide restrictions. This is also the biggest difference between poetry and other literary genres. The common rhyme is 108.
Rhyme is an important means to enhance the musicality of poetry. Modern poetry pays great attention to rhyme in order to make the tone harmonious and easy to remember. The ancients usually used official books that specially instructed the use of rhyme, such as Tang Yun, Guang Yun, Libu Rhyme, Peiwenyun, Integration of Rhyme and Combination of Rhyme. Among them, the rhyme of "Xin Kan" in Wang Wenyu in the Southern Song Dynasty is the most popular, that is, the so-called 108 level rhyme.
But what needs to be understood is that it is not worth destroying the essence of poetry in order to accommodate rhyme. Unless you take part in the imperial examination, even if a sentence or two rhymes occasionally, the ancients are allowed.
rule
The rhyme of modern poetry has strict rules, which can be summarized as follows: the first sentence can be put on or not, and the next sentence must be put on rhyme.
1, even sentence rhymes:
There are 2468 rhymes in metrical poems and 24 rhymes in quatrains. Whether it is a metrical poem or a quatrain, the first sentence may or may not rhyme. For example:
Judge Han Zuo of Yangzhou (Du Mu)
There is water in the green hills, and the vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River is withered in autumn.
Where does the Jade Man teach oral sex at Bridge 24 on a moonlit night?
The first 124 sentence rhymes. Another example is:
Leyou Tomb (Li Shangyin)
In the evening, I was unhappy and drove to Gu.
Sunset, infinitely beautiful, only near dusk.
The first sentence doesn't rhyme, but two or four sentences rhyme. Generally speaking, it is common that the first sentence of five-character poems does not rhyme, and it is also common that the first sentence of seven-character poems rhymes. For the rules of whether the first sentence rhymes, please refer to the level table.
2. Only bet on rhymes:
It is almost a dead rule that modern poetry can only rhyme. In fact, in the style of modern poetry, it will be very difficult to bet the sound, so the ancients can consciously abide by this rule. There are no counterexamples in memory, so I won't give them here.
3, a rhyme to the end, the middle can not change rhyme. Ancient poetry (ancient style) is allowed to change rhyme halfway, but modern poetry is not allowed.
The rhyme of the first sentence can be borrowed from the adjacent rhyme.
The rhyme of ancient poetry can be mixed with the rhyme of adjacent rhymes, such as one east and two winters, four branches and five micro.
Being together is called rhyme. However, the rhyme of modern poetry must strictly only use homophonic words, even if
There are very few words in this rhyme (called narrow rhyme), so you can't mix words in other rhymes, otherwise it's called rhyme, which is the taboo of modern poetry. But if the first sentence rhymes, you can borrow adjacent rhymes. Because the first sentence can be put or not, you can bend the rules. For example, "Drunk to Send Ba Shen Liu Sou to the Army":
Wine is thirsty for Qingjiang River, and I prefer to wash my stomach.
Soft sand leans on the seat, and Leng Shi wakes up drunk.
Picnics are accompanied by accounts, and Huayin is happy.
Several cups are missing. They have all been sent to Shen Ming.
This song "Ting Xing Ling Ming" consists of nine tones, but the first sentence borrows the word "Qing" from Ba Geng.
This is called borrowing neighboring rhymes, which was popular in the late Tang Dynasty and even formed an atmosphere in the Song Dynasty.
Please refer to Tongzhuan Guyun and 108 Pingshui Yun.
avoid
1, avoid rhyme
That is, the same rhyme word appears repeatedly in the rhyme of a poem, which is a big taboo.
2. Avoid synonyms.
For example, a poem uses "flower", "flower", "fragrance" and "fragrance" at the same time.
Step 3 avoid rhyming
Most ancient poems were written according to the official rhyme, and many words that we thought were homophones were included in different rhymes in the official rhyme, such as "winter" and "east". If you are juxtaposed in the same poem, it is rhyming. This is mainly due to the change of ancient and modern pronunciation, so it is unnecessary to emphasize this point today.
Sing a song with others.
Chorus is to rhyme according to the rhyme used in other people's poems, which is called "harmony rhyme" or "step rhyme" There are three main ways:
1, secondary rhyme: also known as prosody, that is, using the same rhyme words in the original poem, and the order must be the same, which is the most common way.
2, rhyme: that is, use the rhyming words in the original poem, but not necessarily in their order.
3. Rhyme: that is, use words that rhyme with the original poem, but don't have to use its original words.
