Chinese Antiphon

Introduction to "Chinese Dual Rhymes" After three thousand years of accumulation, from the pre-Qin style of The Book of Songs, to the Southern and Northern Dynasties style of The Thousand-Character Classic, to the legacy of the Qing Dynasty in The Rhymes of Li Weng, poetry couplets have always occupied an important place in Chinese culture. "Li Weng Duiyun" is a model of the use of rhyme in antithetical couplets in ancient poetry and is also a classic textbook for elementary school students. It has gorgeous rhetoric and smooth rhythm and has been circulated for more than four hundred years. However, as times changed, the difference between the "Pingshui Yun" he adopted and the current "Zhonghua Tongyun" gradually became apparent. For example, the words "Shi, Qi, Wei, Er, Zhui" all belong to the "four branches" rhyme part in Pingshui rhyme. Today, when reciting it in Mandarin, it is difficult to feel the beauty of the melodious rhythm. In order to adapt to the changes in pronunciation of the times, "Chinese Dual Rhymes" came into being. This book is based on the latest "Zhonghua Tongyun" and is created in accordance with the latest "General Principles of Lianlu". It not only inherits traditional classics, but also integrates modern knowledge and current affairs. It is aesthetically uplifting and catchy. It is a shortcut to get started with poetry couplets, an assistant for poetry couplet researchers, and a good choice for enlightenment of rhythm. The whole book is based on the sixteen rhymes of "Zhonghua Tongyun" and is divided into sixteen parts with a total of 207 chapters. Each chapter has detailed explanations and is about 280,000 words. Each chapter covers a variety of antithesis forms, such as single-character pairs, double-character pairs, three-character pairs, and eleven-character pairs. Each chapter rhymes with the same rhyme in "Zhonghua Tongyun", so it is named "Chinese Antiphonal Rhyme". In addition, the advent of "Chinese Dual Rhymes" provides comprehensive learning resources for lovers of poetry couplets, brings pure spiritual food to modern life, helps them relieve mental stress, improve their cultivation, enrich their inner world, and help them pursue poetry and distance.
