2. Characteristics of Ancient Poetry

Ancient Chinese poetry, generally known as old poetry, refers to poems written in the literary language and traditional meter.

Its basic features are: 1. The most basic feature of ancient Chinese poetry is lyricism; 2. Ancient Chinese poetry mainly conveys thoughts and feelings by creating imagery and mood; 3. Ancient Chinese poetry is refined and implicit; 4. Ancient Chinese poetry is rich in musical beauty . First, the most basic feature of ancient Chinese poetry is lyricism Any form of literature, without exception, is the main body (the writer's subjective thoughts and feelings) and the object (objective nature or social life) unified or integrated product, but poetry is the strongest subjectivity, the main characteristics of the most distinctive form of literature.

Any work, including the narrative genre of fiction, drama, can not not show the author's feelings, it can be said that no feelings or passion can not produce art, but poetry is the most passionate and most emotional forms of literature in the genre. Even narrative poetry is characterized by lyricism.

That is to say, the poet's grasp of the objective world, social life and performance is emotional. Although the poet's feelings are often cohesive and embedded in the artistic image, rather than directly spoken, but leaving the feelings, it is difficult to capture the image of the poem.

Therefore, when we appreciate poetry, the way to grasp the poem should also be emotional. Second, ancient Chinese poetry is mainly through the creation of imagery and mood to convey thoughts and feelings, which is significantly different from the narrative genre of novels and plays.

Poetry's imagery and mood can be simply put this way: imagery is the fusion of the poet's thoughts and feelings with the objective object, while the mood is a poetic realm of art composed by the poet through the creation of various images and embellishments. Imagery is localized and specific, while the mood is holistic and ethereal.

The blending of feelings and scenes is the *** same feature of the imagery and mood, which is what the poet strives for when creating imagery and mood.

The creation of imagery and mood can not be separated from the objective objects and scenes, but the objects and scenes are not exactly the same as those we see in ordinary life, it is filtered through the subjective thoughts and feelings of the poet, refining, infiltration, is sublimated by the poem. But the characteristics of the mood is more than a blend of scenes, it breaks through and beyond the specific images, from limited to infinite, from specific sublimation to the ethereal, it inspires the reader to produce imagination and association, into the poet created by the infinite richness and vast artistic space, to think and comprehend the poets in the poems of the social history of the cosmos and even the life of the thinking and feeling.

Imagery can be captured from the poet's specific description, while the mood must be obtained in the ink. The imagery and mood of the poem are not only infused with the poet's unique feelings and thoughts, but also often reflect the poet's different temperament and personality.

Unlike Wang Wei's poems, in which the imagery and mood are characterized by deep subtlety, subtlety, and subtlety, Li Bai's poems are open, grand, and unrestrained, which is inseparable from his wild and unrestrained personality and fluttering artistic imagination. Different imagery not only expresses different feelings of the poet's life, but also reflects different personalities and temperaments.

Third, the ancient Chinese poetry is refined and implicit ancient Chinese poetry, five lines only twenty words, seven lines only twenty-eight words, words in the small order is also twenty or thirty words of the majority; the ancient style of poetry and the row of law is relatively long, but hundreds of sentences are also very few. The language of classical Chinese poetry is so refined and profound that it is extremely rare in the history of poetry in the world.

The juxtaposition of refinement and subtlety is counted as a feature here, because these two aspects cannot be separated. Only the richest meaning can be expressed in the fewest words can be called concise, and the mere fact that few words are spoken cannot be considered concise.

So refinement is always related to subtlety. But refinement is not the same as subtlety, there are some straightforward poems, straightforward poems, the expression is not subtle, but the expression of the meaning of the richer, it should also be considered to be written in a refined.

Fourth, ancient Chinese poetry is rich in musical beauty The musical beauty of ancient Chinese poetry has two meanings. The first is that a part of classical Chinese poetry was originally sung to music, such as the Han Dynasty's Lefu poetry and a part of the Wei-Jin-Tang Dynasty's Lefu poetry are into music, and after the Tang and Song dynasties, the words and prose songs are also sung to music.

The words were originally known as the words of the song, also known as the music, such as Su Shi's collection of words entitled "Dongpo Lefu". All of these poems had scores to go with them, but most of the scores have not survived.

Nonetheless, their musical beauty can still be seen in their syntax, leveling, and rhyming. The second meaning is that the language of classical poetry is about musical beauty.

Particularly in close poems (metered poems and stanzas) and lyrics, it is concerned with the neatness or variations of the syntax, the rhythm and couplets, the leveling and rhyming, in short, it creates a kind of rhythmic and rhythmic musical beauty from all aspects. Generally speaking, a poem's sound (feelings conveyed by music) and text (feelings conveyed by the meaning of the words) are always in harmony.

That is why the ancients paid great attention to chanting when reading poems, that is, to experience the content of the poem and the poet's thoughts and feelings from the perspective of music. It is necessary for us to know a little bit about classical poetic meter in order to appreciate classical poetry today.

Poetry has returned to people's daily lives for a specific era and social background, as well as for historical and cultural reasons. Poetry has a special place in Chinese culture.

China was historically a "poetry country", and Confucius said, "If you don't learn poetry, you can't speak" (interpretation: if you don't learn the Book of Poetry, you can't speak in social interactions), and in ancient times China taught civilization through "poetry". The ancient Chinese used "poetry" to educate and civilize the people. Therefore, "poetry" is the basic means of education, and therefore, poetry has become one of the foundations of Chinese culture.

Some people even say: the West has the Bible, China has the Book of Poetry. Poetry has never been about the mind in China.

Scholar Hu Xiaoming has said, "Chinese poetry is the creation of Chinese culture with the most spiritual value." Qian Mu, on the other hand, believed that poetry had a role similar to that of religion in traditional Chinese culture, both in conveying the individual's mind.

3. What are the basic characteristics of poetry

It has the following four characteristics: (1) The content of poetry is the most concentrated reflection of social life. (2) Poetry is rich in emotion and imagination. (3) The language of poetry is characterized by refinement, imagery, tonal harmony and rhythm. (4) Poetry, in form, is not a unit of sentence, but a unit of line, and the division of lines is mainly based on rhythm, not on meaning.

Poetry is full of the author's thoughts and feelings and rich imagination, the language is condensed and figurative, with a distinctive rhythm, harmonious tone, rich in musical beauty, the statements are generally arranged in rows, focusing on the beauty of the structural form.

"

This defining statement summarizes several basic features of poetry: first, highly concentrated and generalized reflection of life; second, lyrical speech, full of rich thoughts and feelings; third, rich in imagination, association and fantasy; and fourth, the language has musical beauty.

The origin of poetry can be traced back to ancient times. It was documented during the period of Yu and Shun. The Book of Poetry is the first collection of poems in China, which is rumored to have been compiled by Confucius, about which there is still debate in the academic community.

Ancient Chinese poetry through the Han Wei six dynasties of music, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan song development. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a game, and it was the first time I saw a game, and it was the first time I saw a game.

5. What are the characteristics of ancient poetry (generalized)

1) Lyricism.

Poetry is an outpouring of true feelings, and poetry abhors all hypocrisy and artifice. The earliest Chinese cultural canon, the Shangshu, has a saying that "poetry speaks to the heart".

The preface to the Classic of Poetry, Mao Chuan, also argues that: "Poetry is the place where the will is expressed. In the heart for the will, speaking for the poem ...... feelings moved in the form of words, the words of the lack of so contempt, contempt of the lack of so chants, chants of the lack of I do not know the hands of the dance of the feet of the foot of the also.

(2) sense of rhythm. This is a feature of Eastern poetry***.

In the time of Confucius, there was a saying that "singing poetry 300, reciting poetry 300, dancing poetry 300", which shows that the ancients regarded poetry, music and dance as a trinity, inseparable. In fact, the development of poetry in later times has largely followed this path.

The ancients wrote poems sometimes to chant, sometimes to sing and sing, no rhyme is not. And how is rhyme formed? It's just a matter of syntax and pronunciation, and the syntax is usually called "a few words of poetry", and neat syntax lays the foundation for a harmonious rhythm, even if it's not neat "miscellaneous", the arrangement of its syntax is also a certain rule.

Pronunciation is mainly a matter of leveling and rhyming: the ancients divided the pronunciation of Chinese characters into leveling and leveling, and the combination of leveling and leveling can give a person a pleasant feeling, just like today's music, and vice versa, it's a noise, and the different combinations of leveling and leveling in a poem form a different style, so when we read the ancient poems, we can still feel the tone of the poem, which is either high-pitched, or low, or gentle, or sonorous, and thus we can taste the poet's joy, anger, sadness, and happiness. The poet's joy, anger and sadness, and feel the living poetry of thousands of years ago; on the basis of the level and oblique, ancient poems are embellished with rhymes, the more proximity, the more stringent the requirements of rhyming the same or similar to a rhyme in a regular position, for the poems greatly enhance the sense of rhythm, we nowadays write poems, the sentence and the level and oblique may be because of its cumbersome and do not pay much attention to it, but the pressure of the rhyme is often still the pursuit of efforts, the rhythmic genre read aloud, and the rhyme is the same. Rhyming styles have a magical and wonderful feeling when read aloud. We can find a few ancient poems, read out loud, there will be a beautiful enjoyment.

(3) subtle and multi-purpose. Chinese ancient poetry, pay attention to the limited to explore the infinite, that is, the pursuit of "image outside the image", "outside the sound", "outside the meaning", the best works are often The best works are often "words here and there", "words are endless", the famous scholar Wang Guowei in the "human words", said: "Therefore, I feel that there is no flavor outside the words, outside the sound of the strings, and ultimately can not be with the first-class authors also. "

Then this "elephant outside the elephant", "strings outside the voice" in the end what is it? Let's start with its causes.

"Meaning" is the goal of the poet's pursuit, and "words" is only a medium or by virtue of the "here" and "there", "words" and "there" are not the same as "here" and "there".

6. The poem is a bridge between "this" and "that", "words" and "meaning", which is used to communicate.

6. What are the characteristics of the poem

The ancient poem is expressed in the form of singing, so the poem is poetry.

2. Full of true feelings

Without feelings, there is no way to talk about poetry, and if you don't express true feelings, you can't be considered a poet.

3. Novelty

Poetry emphasizes the importance of the meaning, in fact, the meaning is not only important, but also should be novel, should be written "everyone's heart, everyone's pen to the" novelty, there should be a unique novelty of discovery and feeling.

4. association of natural

association of natural that is, from the things in front of the trigger inspiration, associated with the things, the natural connection with each other, no sense of far-fetched attachment.

5. Jumping freely

Poetry to contain extremely complex ideas in a very short chapter, sometimes the space-time span is very large, so the need for a natural transition, jumping freely.

7. Rhythm and Harmony

Rhythm, as a musical term, refers to the phenomenon of regular alternation of length, strength and weakness in the movement of sound. Reflected in poetry, rhythm refers to the syllabic pauses between words and phrases in a verse, or to the rhythm of feelings, weight and urgency. The former for the external rhythm, the latter for the internal rhythm, only the external and internal harmonization, will be catchy, with musical beauty.

8. vivid image

Image, the original meaning is the physical appearance of a person or thing, with the nature of visible and audible, touchable and sensible. The ancients on the shape and image is a separate discussion, that: shape, refers to the form, is the objective existence of the entity; like, is the image, is the subjective reflection of the objective, is a person through the visual visualization of the object of intuitive image. Now people put "form" and "image" into a compound word, as an artistic concept, refers to the author according to the real life of various phenomena to select, synthesize the creation of a certain ideological content and aesthetic significance of the specific palpable, vivid and vivid picture

9. beautiful < / p>

Italy, meaning the pulse, that is, the veins of thought and feeling; realm, meaning the realm image, that is, the object of the pulse through the note. The meaning of the realm collectively, refers to the author's thoughts and feelings and external things combined to produce a realm. The poet's own subjective feelings and objective scene into one, through artistic means to depict, constitute a scenario, form and spirit of the artistic realm, containing the meaning of the words, the string outside the voice, the scene outside the scene, the elephant outside the elephant, so that readers can perceive the infinite from the finite, to get a sense of beauty of endless flavors.

10. The real and the imaginary are born together

The real and the imaginary, the combination of the real and the imaginary, in order to bring the readers to a neither detached from reality, but also beyond the reality, but also real and imaginary, confused and hazy realm of art

7. Whether it is a novel, prose, drama, the most beautiful place, the aura of poetry to shine. Thus, poetry is the literature of literature. In the field of art, poetry is omnipresent.

Poetic beauty is the highest expression of the universal element of artistic beauty. The beauty of poetry also appears from time to time in the realm of non-literary arts, in the fine fragments of scientific writings that emanate intellectual splendor, and even in the state of human life, in the state of work.

Poetry is a literary genre that uses condensed language, abundant emotions, and rich phenomena to express social life and the spiritual world of people in a highly concentrated manner according to certain syllables, tones, and rhymes. In ancient China, what is not musical is called poetry, and what is musical is called song.

Extended Information

Poetry comes from life. Poetry is the glitter of the sea of life. By separating poetry from life, it is impossible to recognize the essence of its content.

"The scope of poetry is the whole of life and nature; the poet views the morass, and his view is as manifold as the thinker's conception of these morasses." (Chernyshevsky) Where there is life, poetry sings. The realm of poetry is as vast as life.

Since poetry is not a narration of life but a song of life, feelings are the main content of poetry, and lyrical beauty is the essence of the content of poetry. Feelings should be based on something. Image, so that the feelings of the figurative, palpable. So the image is also part of the content of the poem.

Poetry is the most philosophical style of literature, it is the most "reasonable" variety of literature. Feelings come from thoughts. The idea is also an integral part of the content of the poem. The unity of emotion, form and reason constitutes the content of the poem.

8. Ancient Poetry, Characteristics

Metrical poetry, including metered verse and stanzas, is known as proximity poetry or present-day poetry, which the ancients called it, and which we call it now, even though it is in fact very ancient, having originated in the Qi-Liang period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and matured in the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, except for the so-called "Qi Liang Style", poems were called "ancient style". After the Tang Dynasty, the poems that do not fit into the modern style are also called ancient style.

There is a difference in syntax, rhyme, and leveling between ancient and modern style:

Syntax: the ancient style has a variable number of words in each sentence, including four, five, six, seven, and even mixed (uneven sentences), and the number of sentences in each poem is also variable, ranging from as few as two, to as many as dozens or hundreds of sentences. There are only two types of close style: pentameter and heptameter, eight lines for metered poems, four lines for stanzas, and more than eight lines of platitudes, also known as long rhythms.

Rhyme: the ancient style can be used in one rhyme, or two or more rhymes, allowing the rhyme change; the recent style can only be used in one rhyme, even if it is up to dozens of lines, can not change the rhyme. The ancient style can rhyme with even lines, or with odd and even lines. In the recent style, only the even-numbered lines rhyme, except for the first line, which may or may not rhyme (if it ends in a flat tone, it rhymes; if it ends in an oblique tone, it doesn't.). In addition to the first line, the rest of the odd-numbered lines cannot be rhymed; the ancient style can be used to rhyme with the flat tone or with the oblique tone; the recent style generally uses only the flat tone.

Level and oblique: the biggest difference between the ancient and modern styles is that the ancient style does not talk about level and oblique, while the modern style is about level and oblique. After the Tang Dynasty, the ancient style is also concerned about the level and oblique, but not regular, can not care.

There are basically no rules in ancient poems, so we will only talk about modern poems

Above is a very detailed explanation

I hope it will be helpful to you

9. What are the three characteristics of classic poems

Characteristics of ancient poems Ancient poems are simple and rich in meaning, and have the characteristics of condensation and jumping, expressing as much as possible with a very limited number of lines, and the biggest characteristic can be used in one word. The most important feature can be summarized in one word: beauty: beauty of meaning, beauty of language, beauty of sound, beauty of form.

1. The beauty of meaning refers to the beauty of the artistic realm formed by the integration of the picture of life depicted in the poem and the author's thoughts and feelings, just as people often say, "There is a picture in the poem, and there is a feeling in the picture." The author selects the most characteristic specific things, or the most meaningful scenes, or the most typical feelings to express their feelings, in order to inspire the reader to develop a rich imagination, to understand the mood and emotion, and to be inculcated.

2, the beauty of language, refers to the language of ancient poetry condensed, vivid image, often using hyperbole, metaphor, symbolism and other techniques to reproduce the beauty of nature, the beauty of society and the beauty of art. For example, "The river flows three thousand feet straight down, and the Milky Way is suspected to be falling from the nine heavens." "The desire to see a thousand miles, a higher floor." "A wildfire cannot be eliminated, the spring breeze blows again." These verses are beautiful to read.

3, musical beauty, refers to the rhyme and rhythm of ancient poetry. Ancient poems have harmonious rhymes and distinctive rhythms, so they are catchy to read and pleasing to the ear, producing musical beauty.

4. The beauty of form refers to the beauty of form and image of ancient poems. For example, Du Fu's "absolute lines": "Two yellow orioles singing green willow, a line of egrets on the blue sky. The window contains a thousand snowy autumns in the West Ridge, and the door is moored to a ten-thousand-mile ship in the East Wu." This ancient poem, with its neat counterpoint, shows the beauty of image.
