I still remember when I was in college, once Comrade Liu Zheng shamelessly asked me about writing poems. It turned out that he had a whim and wanted to write a poem for his penultimate girlfriend-penultimate was used because we had no idea how many girlfriends he had before he went to college. But later, he thought it was too much trouble. He struggled for more than ten minutes, wrote two sentences and gave up.

This story tells us a truth, in fact, many people occasionally have the impulse to write something. If you write essays or novels, you can probably put them into practice easily. Although the quality level of what you write is open to question-but then again, even many published novels and essays are of poor quality-if you want to write poems, especially metrical poems, you may have to start writing.

Therefore, I have always had an idea to tell others that I know how to write poetry. In fact, although we are talking about how to write poetry, all we can say is the style of writing poetry. As for the elegance and vulgarity of words, it is difficult to make it clear in a few words-in fact, I can't make it clear at all-it can only be accumulated in my usual life.

If you want to write a poem, you must first understand that it is flat, which is simply a classification of Chinese pronunciation: flat words are words with relatively flat pronunciation; Ambiguous words are words with relatively short pronunciation.

If you can distinguish a flat voice from a flat voice according to the above sentence, then I can only say that either you are a genius or I am a genius.

The biggest problem in distinguishing flat tones from flat tones lies in the change of pronunciation-in fact, it is not only flat tones, but also the same problem when rhyming-the pronunciation of Mandarin and Chinese in Tang and Song Dynasties has changed a lot-for example, you can still hear Du Fu's "Why not go home", which only shows that your hearing is faulty-so many of them are actually written neatly. It is said that Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects are the closest to ancient sounds, and I have not specifically researched them.

It is said that there are two views on the distinction between ping and ping when writing poetry. The most conservative school thinks that we should stick to the use of Pingshui rhyme. The advantage is that when evaluating a poem, we don't need to know in advance whether it was written by an ancient person or a modern person. The disadvantage is that it is too divorced from life. The most radical party thinks that the level of Putonghua should be distinguished in parallel to facilitate actual reading, but in fact, although Putonghua is fully implemented in China, there are actually very few people who are really proficient in this language-when I went to print something last night, several students were typing the materials for the Putonghua exam, and the phonetic notation of the first word was wrong.

As for writing my own poem, because both sides actually make sense, I chose a more eclectic method-but I don't use new rhymes or rhymes like some people-my method is to write a poem, or fill in a word for him to read in Pingyi rhyme or Mandarin, and there is no big problem with rhyming.

The level tone of Mandarin is easy to remember, but only if you study hard in primary school. Chinese characters in Putonghua are divided into four tones, which seem to be called one, two, three and four tones directly in primary school. In fact, the official name is: the first sound is flat, the second sound is flat, the third sound is up, and the fourth sound is off. Yin Ping and Yang Ping are flat tones, while rising and falling tones are voiced.

A flat rhyme needs a little memory, but it doesn't need IQ at all. Please write a rhyme by Baidu, there is no other way, recite it-in fact, I can't remember it all. Pingshui rhyme is divided into five tones, which are,, Shangsheng, Deyeng and Rusheng in turn-I hope you still remember the sentence in She's Chinese, "In recent years, they have learned to go up and down with their tongues rolled up." -upper peace and lower peace are flat sounds; The other three are muffled.

The above is the basic introduction of level tone, and the following is the application in poetic meter.

I don't know if you've ever wondered why the same words are catchy when others write them, but so awkward when they write them themselves. This is related to tonality-it is said that it was introduced to China from India with Buddhism in the Han Dynasty, so there were so-called metrical poems in China after the Han Dynasty-and simplified this theoretical system into a series of requirements for the flat and flat format in poetry writing. It can be roughly divided into single-sentence requirements and inter-sentence requirements.

Regarding the metrical requirements of single sentences, the standard sentence patterns of metrical poems are actually only the following:

Five words:

Pingping: Pingping.

Pingping: Pingping.

From beginning to end: from beginning to end.

Fair: impartial.

Qi Yan

Pingping: Pingping.

Pingping: Pingping.

From beginning to end: this sentence sometimes changes.

Fair: impartial.

In actual writing, even numbers can't be changed, and odd numbers (except the last one) can be changed-but the following situations should be avoided when changing.

Gu Ping

There are two definitions of loneliness. The first is that there is only one flat word in a sentence except the last word, which is called loneliness. In addition, it is considered that the situation of two traps and one orphan is isolated and flat. I prefer the second definition, but it is better not to have these two definitions in actual writing.

Therefore, when you write the sentence "flush", if the first word must be flush, you can change the third word to "flush".

Sanpingdiao

When the last three words of the whole sentence are flat tones, it is called three tones.

Three-level tail

It is similar to the three-level tone, which means that the last three words of the whole sentence are inarticulate words. I have read some poems written by people who know a little about meter. The first sentence is three tails, and the next sentence is three levels.

That's probably all the requirements for fluency in a single sentence, while fluency in a sentence requires that if you know that the last word of an even sentence in a metrical poem must be flat, and the last word of an odd sentence except the first sentence must be flat, then there are only two words left: right and sticky.

The so-called right, that is to say, the level of the second word of the even sentence is opposite to that of the second word of the previous sentence.

The so-called stickiness means that the second word of an odd-numbered sentence has the same level as the second word of the previous sentence.

So it can be seen from the above that the fluency of a poem is basically determined by the first sentence. The reason why the second word is used as the standard is because we said above that the level of the first word can be changed.

For people who can't write poetry, they may think that rhyme and antithesis are the key to a poem. Seeing this, you may have found that antithesis and rhyme, even if important, are only a small part of writing poetry.

For rhyming, it should be noted that there are also disputes between ancient and modern pronunciations like Pingze.

As for the lyrics, I think it's easier than writing a poem. Just fill them in according to the music score-when the epigraph you want to fill in is determined, the required metrical format is also determined-of course, it's not that simple to write well.

Beginners should learn to fill in some short lyrics, such as "preface to a dream" and "health faults", and then fill in some longer ones after the words have accumulated to a certain extent. But some epigrams that are too short are more difficult to write well, such as the sixteen-character order. You have to think about these yourself.

Of course, all the above are based on the premise that you want to write poetry seriously. If you just want to write a Tibetan poem to cheat an ignorant girl or something, don't ask me.
