Rhythm of Tang and Song Poetry
by Long Yusheng
About This Novel
Ci arose in the Tang Dynasty. After the development of the Five Dynasties, it reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. It is a kind of Yuefu poetry that can be sung with music. It mainly comes from Yuefu and folk literature, but it is inseparable from the prosperity of music in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, music from the Western Regions with pipa as the main instrument had been introduced in large quantities, and folk songs were also very developed. Therefore, the "Old Book of Tang Music" says: "Since the Kaiyuan Dynasty, singers have used songs from Hu Yili Lane." This combination of Western music and folk songs created countless beautiful new music, which was very popular from the court to the people. The emergence and creation of lyrics were mainly to coordinate with this emerging music, so the lyrics were called "qu" or "melody lyrics" at that time. Due to the extremely close relationship between words and music, strict rhythm and various formal characteristics have emerged. Each word has its own fixed form: "The tune has a certain tenth day, the tenth day has a certain character, and the character has a certain tone." In order to adapt to the rhythm of the music, most of the sentences are of different lengths, and the rhymes are also different. To match the tone of the music. To enhance the musicality of the music, the characters used in the lyrics are not only divided into equal and oblique tones, but some are also divided into four tones. Since words must be constrained by the rhythm of music, the ancients called song writing "word writing according to sound" or "word writing according to music score".
