"The Book of Songs" is the first literature, is the art of singing, and the integration of poetry and music is the basic feature of early Chinese poetry. "The Book of Songs" is a folk song sung by many mouths. The meaning and beauty of the words are not achieved by reading the written word, but by hearing. "The harmony of sound blends poetry and multiplies poetry. The main embodiment of the beauty of the Book of Songs is the beauty of rhyme, rhythm and tone, and the beauty of repetition.
My New Year's reading plan
First, the beauty of rhyme.
Rhyme is the main expression of the beauty of the rhyme of the Book of Songs. Qing Dynasty scholar Jiang Youhe's "Reading the Book of Poetry" and Mr. Wang Li's "Reading the Book of Poetry and Rhyme" and other works specialize in the study of the rhythm of the Book of Songs. According to statistics, 297 of the 305 poems in the Book of Songs rhyme.
The Book of Songs uses flexible and diverse rhyme forms, free and unrestrained, and has a variety of rhyme methods. In a chapter, you can rhyme to the end, and there are also more than two rhymes. The three basic rhymes commonly found in the Book of Songs are as follows: the first sentence does not rhyme with an even sentence. The first rhyming even sentence rhymes. Sentences rhyme.
Second, the beauty of rhythm and tone.
The rhythm and harmony of the poem are manifested in the rhythm of distinct abruptness, rapid or soothing, and orderly looping. The basic elements that make up rhythm are symmetry and repetition. The sentence structure of the "Book of Songs" is mainly based on four words, and the four-word sentences with two beats have a strong sense of rhythm, which is the basic unit that constitutes the neat rhythm of the "Book of Songs". The rhythm of the four sentences is generally two-two, such as: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman, Good. Especially the dual sentence form "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart." (Zheng Feng Zijin) "The mountains have Fusu, and there are lotus flowers. (Zheng Feng Shan Youfusu) is neat and symmetrical; The rhythm is sharp and the tone is harmonious. The rhythm of the four-character sentence is distinct and slightly short, but the use of double tones, overlapping rhymes, overlapping words, verbal auxiliaries, and rhetorical techniques such as truthfulness, repetition, and comparison makes the poems in the Book of Songs read in a long tone, and the rhythm is slow and slow.
1) Double sound, overlapping rhyme, overlapping words.
Overlapping words, also known as tautology, are overlapping words and continuous words. For example: "Timber dingding, birdsong chirping."", with "Ding Ding" and "Boom" to imitate the sound of logging and birdsong. Another example is "In the past, I went back, and the willows followed." Now I think about it, the rain and snow Feifei", "Guan Guan Ju dove", etc., the overlapping characters play a role in imitating the sound and painting, and enhance the image of the poem.
The second is to make the poem have a long tone, a slow rhythm, a harmonious and loud sound, catchy, and strengthen the character.
Double sound means that the initials are the same. Such as "Mian", "Li Lie", "Uneven" and so on. Overlapping rhyme means that the finals are the same. Such as "poor pool", "silk", "perched", "slender", etc., double-tone continuous words and overlapping rhyme continuous words have the same ** and visual effects as overlapping words.
2) Verbal particles.
Particle is used at the beginning, middle, or end of a poem.
The sentence final particle enhances the vividness and vividness of the poem, lengthens the tone, soothes the tone, and strengthens the lyrical meaning. For example, "Wei Feng Between Ten Mu": "Between ten acres, the mulberry is idle." The line and the son are still in trouble. The word "Xi" is a soothing yang tone, which lengthens the tone and expresses a soothing and relaxed mood.
The sentence opening particle is used to open the cavity when singing, prolong the tone, soothe the tone, and produce the first effect. The first two sentences of each chapter of "Zhaonan Magpie's Nest" are the first words of "Wei", "Wei Magpie has a nest, and Wei Gu lives in it."", "dimension" is roughly equivalent to "feed": "feed one by one magpie has a nest." Feed one by one doves dwelling in it.
Sentence-in-sentence particles, which are generally used to fill in syllables when singing, make the poem a four-sentence form with a bisecting rhythm composed of two symmetrical sound groups, constituting the rhythm and rhyme of the poem; At the same time, as a modal word, it plays the role of lyrical dragging. For example, the third sentence of "Weifeng Boxi" "Bo is also stubborn", translated into the vernacular, is "Brother holds a gun", and "also" is about equivalent to "Ya".
