The Charm of Classical Chinese Poetry

The charms of classical Chinese poetry are as follows:

Classical Chinese poetry, it has some basic characteristics:

First, linguistically, whether it is a poem or a word, it has its own metrical pattern, especially the metrical poems, which pay attention to the level and oblique and sticky pairs, symmetry and counterpoints, as well as the sound and meter, thus not only This not only emphasizes the structure and rhythm of the poems, but also the rhyme of the poems. This makes the poems have the beauty of rhythm and rhyme.

For example, Wang Zhilu's "Ascending the Stork Tower" says, "The sun is over the mountains and the Yellow River flows into the sea. The words "to be able to see beyond a thousand miles, to go up one floor" are both level and rhyming, which makes them catchy to read. Another example is Du Fu's "Ascension", the most famous two lines of which are "The boundless fallen trees are under the Xiaoxiao, the Yangtze River rolls on", which is full of rhythmic sense with even level and neat contrast.

This kind of strict requirement is summarized by poets after nearly a thousand years of continuous exploration, and has gradually become a law of creation. By following this rule, the poems created will have a beauty of rhyme and meter. Of course, this law also serves to express the emotion of the poem, the first point of the poem is to convey the emotion, otherwise it will be the cart before the horse.

Secondly, classical Chinese poetry emphasizes the use of images to express feelings. When appreciating poems, there is a kind of saying that "to make something to express one's will", then the image of poems lies in the diversity of forms on the one hand, and on the other hand, it lies in the use of figurative things to reflect the life and express the feelings in a highly concentrated and generalized way.

For example, Li Shangyin's "Night Rain Sends the North" says, "You ask for the return date without a date, Bashan night rain rises in the autumn pool. When **** cut the candles in the west window, but talk about the night rain in Bashan", a few figures, the image of the traveler's mood of homecoming. Another example is Yu Qian's "Lime Chant", "A thousand hammers and ten thousand chisels out of the mountains, the fire burns as if waiting for nothing. I'm not afraid of breaking my bones, but I want to leave my innocence on earth", the author used lime as a metaphor to express his open-mindedness and noble character.

Another example is Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao - Red Cliff Huai Gu" in which he says, "Thinking back to the time of Gong Jin, Xiao Qiao was married at the beginning of the year, and he was very handsome. The fan spandex scarf, talk and laugh, the mast is gone", not only describes a flowing and elegant Zhou Yu, but also through the admiration of Zhou Yu, set off their own old age, expressing their own feelings of success.
