Seeing that Gu Yifang roughly understood what was going on with the beginning and end of the rhythmic poem, Shao Qingyang began to explain the form of the rhythmic poem to her, which was simple, and it was also the part that Gu Yifang could understand by reading the textbook himself.

In terms of form, the metrical poem has four couplets and eight sentences, each of which has two sentences. The number of words in each sentence is either five words or seven words, which is the so-called five-character poem and seven-character poem.

And these four couplets and eight sentences, each of which has a specific title, is compared to the head of the person, and is the first couplet, the jaw couplet, the neck couplet, and the tail couplet.

The head is the head and face, the chin is the chin, the neck is the neck, and the tail coupling is about the part below the neck in the legend.

Using the body as a metaphor for poetry, therefore, this reading poetry is like looking at people, looking at all kinds of people, seeing what kind of face, what kind of spirit, what kind of rhyme, what kind of dress, and then experiencing the meaning of the poem, the poet's temperament and appearance, and even a glimpse of the situation of the person at that time.

Listening to Shao Qingyang's eloquent words, Gu Yifang felt extremely novel, four couplets and eight sentences, one couplet and two sentences, these can all be seen from the book, but reading poetry is like looking at people, these are unseen statements in the book, and this statement is extremely vivid, which instantly left a deep impression on Gu Yifang. Then Shao Qingyang gave her a brief explanation of the rhetorical requirements of each couplet.

"Rhetorical devices and rhetorical rules, if you look back at some more examples, you can understand. Cut off half of the length of the poem, it is a quatrain, so the quatrain is also called truncated, and the seven-word quatrain is the first choice for learning poetry. After talking about the form of the rhythmic poem, Shao Qingyang summed it up and began to introduce the next topic.

Gu Yifang looked at the second piece of paper, in addition to listing the forms, Shao Qingyang circled "preferred" and "secondary" on the "seven-word quatrain" and "seven-word rhythm poem" respectively.

Raised his eyes and glanced at the time of the wall clock opposite, fifteen minutes had passed, Gu Fang was very curious, the remaining fifteen minutes, how Shao Qingyang was going to finish this sound and rhyme.

"Tone refers to the tone, which is everyone's biggest headache, and you can think of it as a crossword puzzle. The reason why the seven-character quatrain is preferred for beginners is because the seven-character quatrain is short in length and does not have high rhetorical requirements, and it is relatively easy to level the quatrain, although the five words are two words less than the seven words per sentence, but the difficulty of the level is doubled. From here on, what Shao Qingyang said began to be a bit like a book from heaven.

took the third paper slip handed over by Shao Qingyang, and wrote four sets of flat formats on it.

The second, fourth, and sixth words in each sentence were circled, and Shao Qingyang motioned for her to turn over the paper stick, only to see that it was written on the back: "One, three, five, two, four, six are clear." ”

With this sentence, Shao Qingyang began to explain: "This is talking about the rules of seven-character rhythmic poetry, regardless of one, three, five, it means that in each sentence, the first, third, and fifth characters can be ignored; The distinction between 24 and 6 is clear, which means that in each sentence, the second, fourth, and sixth words must conform to the level. ”

Gu Fang was a little dizzy, and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Shao, I still don't know what Ping Qian is...... ”

Shao Qingyang groaned: "Pingqian is an ancient tone, we are now using pinyin, the one, two, three, four tones in pinyin is a modern tone, of course, there are words without tonality in pinyin, words without tonality, common in some onomatopoeia.

In ancient times, the tone of the word was also four tones, namely ping, up, going, and entering. ”

Gu Fang sighed slightly, this sounds simple, but the ghost knows how to read the ancient tone, now looking back, every time I read those tutorials that teach and write poetry, it is at this point that she feels like it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, she asked with some frustration: "I think about it a little, there seems to be a correspondence between Yin Ping and Yang Ping and modern pinyin mentioned in the book, but ...... It doesn't seem to be exactly the same.,The more I look at it, the more confused I become.。 ”

Shao Qingyang said with a smile: "If you want not to be confused, you have to be simple and rude, but the teacher also wants you to remember that the simple and rude way is just to help you understand and use it as soon as possible when you get started. In the process of composing poems, you need to use some reference books and flat software to check and adjust, and at the same time accumulate experience. ”

With the previous experience of teaching "Vicarious Qihe" to "Vicarious Qihe", Gu Yifang couldn't help but wonder what kind of simple and crude rhetoric Shao Qingyang could use to make himself learn to use Pingqian in a short period of time, and he didn't know how much time he could digest. After all, when I talked about the form of rhythmic poetry just now, although I understood a rough idea, I still had to read it once or twice again to master and digest it.

On the other hand, Gu Yifang was worried that her understanding was not enough, and it would exceed the original planned teaching time, so her face was lost, and in this nervous and expectant mood, she listened to Shao Qingyang say slowly: "Simply and rudely, the first and second tones in pinyin are flat sounds, and the third and fourth tones in pinyin, as well as the soft voices without tonality, are all voices. Shao Qingyang said, leaning back slightly, waiting for Gu Yifang's reaction.

Pinyin one or two tones are flat sounds, three or four tones and non-marked sounds are ...... sounds, it's that simple?

Gu Fang couldn't believe it at all, she was worried that she wouldn't have time to understand it in five minutes, but now she understands it in such seconds, it's unbelievable, she remembers that in the book, although there is also Hanyu Pinyin, but the writing is super complicated and difficult to understand.

Shao Qingyang looked at her unpredictable expression, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course the book you read won't be written like this, because this classification has a certain error rate, for example, the word 'country' in 'country' is the second tone in pinyin. ”

Hearing Shao Qingyang say this, Gu Fang was a little at a loss again, and said in fear: "That...... Am I going to find some books to memorize? ”

Shao Qingyang shook his head slightly and said, "You read it in Yinhai dialect." ”

Gu Yifang tried to pronounce the word 'country' in Yinhai dialect, and suddenly found that there was no tone to pronounce this word in Yinhai dialect, and the pronunciation was quite short, and he immediately understood in his heart why the word 'country' was a voice.

Shao Qingyang saw that she had some understanding, and said with a relieved look: "This is the advantage of southerners, the dialects of the Wu language family, the Min language family, and the Cantonese language family retain a considerable part of the ancient tone. In the development of old-style poetry to modern times, it is still controversial whether to use the modern tone dominated by Mandarin to replace the ancient tone that is flat and entered. From the standpoint of a teacher, of course, I want students to be able to use both tones, but I also don't want students to lose the fun of writing poetry because they are too entangled in tone issues. ”

Gu Yifang also understood in her heart that no matter what she said, it was naturally the "ancient tone" that was more advanced, so she stubbornly said, "Teacher Shao, I will ...... Try to use the old tones. ”

Shao Qingyang suddenly sat up straight, and said a little seriously: "It's okay, you can write in this voice first, if you still have the strength left, it's not too late to change it to an ancient voice, and it's usually only one or two words away." On the one hand, I teach you to write poetry because you are interested in poetry and have a poetic heart, and in the future, if there is anything happy or unhappy, you can express it in poetry. In my opinion, you are a motivated student, I believe that for you, sorrow will only be temporary, the teacher taught you poetry, but also hope that when you come out, you can still retain a original intention, a pure heart. ”
