How to write good poetry

Question 1: How to write good poetry. How to start writing poetry.

Before learning to write poetry, you must master the basic laws of poetry. Judging from the poems written by the above-mentioned ancients, we should learn three rules:

First, we must master the oblique tones of Chinese characters. Whether you are writing poetry or lyrics, you must know whether every word or word you use has a flat or oblique tone. Especially the entry tone, which is supposed to be a flat tone but can easily be used as a flat tone, requires some effort to learn and master. In order to facilitate everyone's learning and reference, we specially compiled a "List of Chinese Characters for Rusheng" and attached it to the end of the article. The Chinese characters listed in this table are selected according to the Qin-Zhao language family, and basically do not include the input-tone characters used in the Wuyue language family. Therefore, the number of input-tone characters is not so wide and is easier to master. If combined with the widespread use of modern Mandarin, this list, although conservative, is very practical and may provide some new room for development in poetry writing. This entering tone table can play two functions: absorbing and eliminating for you: it can not only help you find, absorb, and use entering tone rhyming characters, but also help you eliminate the possibility of mistakenly using entering tone characters in flat tone positions.

Second, master the rules of changing voices between flat and oblique. For quatrains and rhymed poems, one is the rule of "irrespective of odd numbers", but there is another rule as a supplement, that is, "it is better to replace the flat with the oblique than the oblique with the flat", which can be seen from the general formula of the poetry rhythm. It can be found that it is consistent with "avoiding lonely and flat sentences and preventing flat sentences" as much as possible. For writing lyrics, in addition to the rhythm of "no matter the odd number" which is generally the same as the rhythm of poetry, there are also some differences from the rhythm of poetry. From the above general formula, it can be seen that in some word cards, the word "()" marked with 平 or 仄, even though the character is in an even digit, can still be flat or angled. Beginners need to pay special attention to this. .

Third, how to start writing? I think you need to memorize general formulas, but you don’t have to memorize them all before you start writing. You can completely adopt the method of "learn one and write one" to proceed step by step. When writing poetry, you can start with quatrains, first five characters, and then seven characters; after writing the quatrains, write verses, because there are two couplets in verses that are more difficult to write. After writing the poem, start writing the lyrics. Regardless of whether it is poetry or lyrics, the metrical formula can be memorized. You can learn it one by one, memorize it one by one, or even copy the Ping and Tong formulas in front of you and write them down. In fact, for writing poetry, as long as the first sentence is written, the second sentence, the third sentence... can be naturally deduced according to the relationship of relativeness and adhesion. The words are more difficult to memorize and write. Although its sentence patterns vary in length, the number of words and rhythm of each sentence are fixed, which makes the requirements even higher. If you are familiar with writing verses and have mastered the oblique rhythm of old-style poetry, it will be easier to write lyrics. For example, if you want to write a song "Die Lian Hua", you only need to memorize the general form of "Die Lian Hua" or copy it first, and then you can start writing. After writing it, analyze and modify the equal and oblique tones in it to make it conform to the general formula. In this way, you can make steady progress by learning to write one song at a time. I believe that within a few years, you will become a skilled poetry writer.

Fourth, write good rhymes. Beginners can completely follow the pinyin of modern Mandarin when arranging rhymes and words. This will not violate the ancient rhyme, but will only make it more catchy and readable. Of course, you must study "Rushing Chinese Character List" carefully. You will quickly master the rules. If you can use the entering tone more freely and learn how to use ancient rhymes, it will make your path wider and brighter when writing poetry, especially lyrics.

The use of rhyme words is very strict, and it is required to strictly "rhyme", also known as "ye (xié) rhyme"; for word brands that commonly use or restrict the rhyme of entering tones, the rhyme is Be sure to use entering tones. Most of the lyrics written by the great man *** are very rigorous, but there is a sentence in "Manjianghong? Comrade Guo Moruo" that says "Many things are always urgent; the world is turning, time is pressing", and the word "forcing" in it, It seems that the word "force" is wrong. Because only the word "force" can match the rhyme of the word "ji". Of course, ancient people and celebrities sometimes would rather sacrifice "sound" to become "benevolence" than sacrifice "righteousness" for "sound". For us beginners, it is better to follow the rhythm of poetry and not easily break away from the rules and do our own thing.

Fifth, about writing format. Regarding the writing format of old-style words, the author also puts forward his own opinions here.

Nowadays, almost all publications print Tang poetry in sections, making it look very clear to readers. This is very beneficial to those who are willing to learn old-style poetry. However, few Song lyrics are printed in the form of one line per sentence. Almost all literary prints are still printed in the prose form used by the ancients, making... >>

Question 2 : How to write poems for primary school students? Children themselves are gifted poets, because their imaginations are rich and unique, which is what poets need. The language of poetry is mostly figurative language, such as "The season took a nap, and the mountain flowers passed through a lifetime" and "Spring Exploration" "Out of the green head" and so on. Poetry, like other literary subjects, can start from imitation. The ancients said: Literature starts from nonsense, and poetry starts from bullshit. The more you imitate, the better your children's poems will become. Here are several methods for you:

Lecture 1

One of the thinking methods for children’s poetry

Cause-finding method

Children’s poetry , there are adult creations and children's creations. It is popular in the typical, sentimental in the aura, naive in the naive, natural in the fresh, reflecting childlike innocence, childishness and innocence. Some people say that poetry comes from inspiration, and the same applies to children's poetry. So, where does the inspiration come from? Mastering the thinking methods of children's poems can promote the germination of inspiration. Next, I will talk about the inspiration of children's poems in terms of thinking methods.

Cause-finding method. Give an object a cause and effect, the effect is reality, the cause is illusory and inaccurate, but in children's poems it is full of aura and childishness, innocence and cuteness, and a "feeling of being so stupid that you are smart", for you "Cause" has a strange, unfamiliar feeling.

For example, "The Great Sun":

The sun is like a big match cake,

baked whole in the furnace of the mountain.

One night,

the next morning,

my face was red with fever.

The fact that the sun is brightly red in the morning is the effect, a fact, and why it is so red is the cause. The "cause" that the young author is looking for becomes a big coal cake, roasted red in the furnace of the mountain. His imagination is so naive and unreal. But one thing is that both sides are "red", and red connects them both. Of course, the redness of the sun can also be associated with other reds, and many children's poems can be written from this.

Another example is "Thinking Stars":

At night,

In the dark sky,

stars twinkle and twinkle.

This is because,

Grandma Moon asked the question,

asked the stars to answer,

the stars were blinking and thinking.

Look, if the stars blink, then why do they blink? The young author immediately thought that thinking children would also blink their eyes. The blinking of the stars was not thinking at all. It showed the childishness and innocence of children, and gave human aura to the stars, making them come alive.

Another example is "Peach Blossom":

Peach Blossom loves beautiful girls,

It doesn't like to sleep in Sister Chun's arms,

steal Sister Chun's rouge,

rub it on your face desperately.

Sister Chun woke up,

found that the cigarette grease was missing,

then searched for it and came to the world,

causing all things to wake up quickly .

Look, is this the reason why peach blossoms are red? Not at all, but the little author made the reason into a story, how interesting it is!

Here, when you are looking for the cause, you must first look for the discovery point of the connection from the "result" itself, and then make up a short story when making the connection, and write it in a branching method. Do you think it is easy to write children's poems?

But there are two points worth noting: 1. Sometimes only one percent of the connection between cause and effect is enough. Ninety-nine percent of it is far-fetched. If the connection is too real, it will be lost. Childlike interest; 2. The connection between cause and effect should be out of ordinary people's thinking and appear interesting. For example, everyone will think of the connection between the rainbow and the bridge. This does not give readers a sense of freshness and does not show the childishness, innocence and aura of children.

Lecture 2

Children’s Poetry Thinking Method

Association Method

Association is to think of something from one thing to that thing, and then from that thing Things are spread out, unfolding layer by layer, and thoughts are surging.

For example, "Grandpa's Hands":

Grandpa's hands are covered with calluses.

They look like

" "Slope";

Seeing this "slope",

reminds me -

How many harvest songs have been sung on the slope.

You see, the first level is from "cocoon" to "hillside". It is a similar association. The hillside in nature is higher than the flat ground. The calluses are also slightly raised in the palms, and the palms are like flat ground. Related Lenovo. Of course, "hillside" can also be thought of greening, anything else can be thought of, because in order to be associated with calluses, "harvest" must be selected, so the related associations on the second level are still based on the original (cocoon) on the first level. It’s only relevant. Otherwise, there will be a lot of associations and it will be impossible to run through and focus on the theme. This poem illustrates that labor creates harvest.

Another example is "Grandfather Mountain's Beard"

White clouds,

winding around the mountainside,

seem like Grandpa Mountain's beard is floating

Grandpa Shan,

stroke it,

snoring and sleeping.

The first level of this poem also has similar associations, with white clouds surrounding the mountainside, much like Grandpa Shan’s Hu Shun fluttering; the second level still has related associations, with Grandpa Shan sleeping while stroking his beard. What a peaceful old man, the image is lifelike and lifelike.

Another example is "The Sorrowful Thoughts of Autumn Rain":

Like cow hair, like thin threads,

The autumn rain is continuous,

Aunt Qiu, what are you doing? Why did you cry for so long?

My heart is cold and my heart is broken.

The leaves are falling one after another,

I am worried... >>

Question 3: How to write a good Qijue poem? Familiar with the rhythm first, Du Fu’s ancient poems are more neat and readable

The following is my personal experience on how to write good poems

1. Cultivate interests and increase hobbies

Our Chinese nation is a country with a splendid culture that spans thousands of years, and poetry occupies a very important position in the history of Chinese culture. From the Book of Songs to contemporary poetry, our predecessors have accumulated a very rich collection of works, which is the pride of our nation and the spiritual wealth of all mankind. Our motherland is a kingdom of poetry and an ocean of poetry.

Come to eulogize the great era and praise the great mountains and rivers of the motherland.

2. Learn to appreciate and lay a solid foundation

Writing poetry is difficult, and appreciating poetry is equally difficult. Appreciating poetry is the first threshold for writing good poetry. Appreciating and writing poetry can express emotions, communicate emotions, enrich spiritual life, and is conducive to promoting the construction of spiritual civilization.

Appreciating classical poetry is a kind of artistic enjoyment and a kind of cultural accomplishment. How to appreciate a piece of work? First of all, recite it repeatedly and chew it slowly

Fourth, observe carefully and accumulate materials

When we write poems and a work, what materials should we choose? It is to write about events and scenes. , or write about people and things. All must be carefully conceived and observed by the author. For example, "The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on its head." Judging from these two lines of poetry, the author observed the lotus just out of the water very carefully, which is completely in line with the objective laws of things and has become a famous line through the ages. Another example is "There are three feet of snow on the Pearl River, and the moon is shining with cold light." On the surface, these two poems are quite poetic, but if you think about it carefully, something is wrong. The Pearl River is in Guangdong, southern my country. Where does its snow come from? This is an oversight by the author. It is seriously out of touch with reality, just like our Xingzi opera singing went off the rails, and the result was nothing, it was a joke. In 2000, I responded to two poems and seven unique poems written in a magazine's "Experts on Poetry" column and gave a concise answer. The first is "I want to write poems that open up the artistic conception, but I have been wandering around for a long time in search of a manuscript. It is difficult to come up with beautiful sentences behind closed doors, and all the wise words come from practice." Secondly, "If you are familiar with poetry and books, you will open the iron lock, and you will accumulate less wandering in daily life. Observe carefully and observe the true feelings carefully, and you will have a magical writing foundation."

5. Never tire of revisions and refine and improve

How to improve the quality of poetry, the ancients said: "A good poem needs to be revised a hundred times." As the saying goes: "Good children are coaxed out, and good poems are made by correcting them." It can be seen that correcting poems is particularly important to the quality of poetry. Every piece of work should be carefully considered first, and then asked to be improved by others. Don’t be afraid of others pointing out shortcomings, and don’t be afraid of being ugly. In this regard, I have had a profound experience. I remember that in the 1990s, I wrote a song called "Qi Jue. Early Summer." "The apricots are unloading the remaining lotus roots and the leaves are green, and the westerly wind is thin and the willows are singing at night. The peach blossoms and flowing water go together with the spring, and listen to the new cicadas announcing the summer." After writing, Feeling good about myself, I later showed it to a person named Jingye Shiyu on the Internet. After not speaking for a long time, I became impatient and asked her how she was doing. She shook her head and said, "The sentences are beautiful and the poetry is full of flavor. Overall, it's not good." Passed”. Then he pointed out the fatal flaw of this poem, because the red apricots bloom in February, the apricots are undressed and the lotus leaves have not yet grown, which is seriously out of touch with real life. This change will make it objective, and the whole poem will come alive. What a master of one word, I will never forget it!

Next is the question of improvement. Poetry is the art of language. It requires profound thoughts, abundant emotions, and novel ideas. It needs to be good at using beautiful, concise, vivid, and vivid language to express, so the author chooses words and sentences. It must be thought over and over again. The story of Jia Dao's "examination" is still a favorite story. It is worth learning from. Du Fu once said: "If words don't surprise people, they will die without stopping." Su Shi said, "Poems and poems can be judged by one word," and Lu Yanrang said, "Reciting one word correctly requires twisting several stems." It can be seen how much the ancients attached great importance to the elaboration of each word, that is, "refining the words". If the words are refined well, each word can express the spirit, and the realm will be fully expressed, the poem will come alive.

6. Complement each other, and the merit is beyond poetry

First of all, we must enrich our lives and learn to be a good person. After people reach middle age, the era of hard work is basically over, and they have relatively more spare time. Some people spend their time playing cards, drinking alcohol, playing around all day long, and are at a loss. I advise these comrades to write some poems as a kind of adjustment and enjoyment. , a kind of rest and relief, treating various problems encountered in family and society with a calm mind.

Secondly, poetry creation can regulate emotions and cultivate one's moral character. When a satisfactory poem is created, it often makes people feel relaxed and happy, excited, and immersed in the feeling of beauty for a long time. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, once said that "people's emotions are the best doctors for their own diseases." In the process of writing poetry, it is undoubtedly a spiritual enjoyment for us to concentrate, concentrate and forget our worries and sorrows. A friend of mine in Nanchang said something intriguing, saying that every poem he wrote records a story. Every time I read it, the emotion at that time... >>

Question 4: How to write good poetry? China is a country of poetry. Most people love to read poetry, and many people love to write poetry. This is unique in the world. For so many years, I have been reading and writing poetry, but I don’t understand what poetry is. An old professor said that there are only a thousand poems in "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" that can be truly called poems. I agree with this. What is Chinese poetry? Written in Chinese, it uses a unique aesthetic to discover unique or ordinary things, and expresses them with unique expression methods and techniques. And this is not enough. "What looks like poetry in form is not necessarily poetry, and those who can write this kind of poetry are not necessarily true poets." - Zhou Ruchang Poems have readers. Even if no other person reads the poem, at least the author is also its author. Reader, right? In fact, during the process of writing the poem, the author was already reading the infant work. Poetry has readers, so if it cannot move the readers' hearts, it does not deserve to be called poetry. Is poetry just a matter of dividing a sentence into paragraphs and adding a sense of rhythm? Of course not. One thing about poetry is that it never goes out of style. You can recite those famous poems over and over again. As you chant more and more, you will find that you are not bored with it; on the contrary, your interest will only become stronger and stronger. Are other literary works okay? Even "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" may become boring if you memorize it for more than ten times in a row; but this will never happen with Bai Juyi's "Pipa" or "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". Poetry is not boring, or if it is boring, it is not worthy of being called poetry. Most general articles only describe what the author feels and thinks, without considering the reader's factors; to put it cruelly: they are selfish. Poetry is different. The Master said on the river: "The deceased is like a man who never gave up day and night.

"This is describing the passage of time; and the same theme and the same sentence became "But the time is like the sound of water, and it goes away endlessly" in the writing of a poet in the Song Dynasty. "The difference lies in the word "sound". It is clear that time is like running water, what does it have to do with sound? But the poet saw running water, thought of time, and heard the sound of water at the same time. Of course, using running water alone can express a clear meaning; it can be used The sound of water gives readers a truly realistic inner feeling, even if the only reader is the poet himself. Poets care about the reader's heart and world, so their poems can always touch the reader's heartstrings. The poet is considerate, not eloquent. Why does the poem have a rhythm so that the reader can read it clearly? The characteristics of the poem are also created for the reader. They will only express themselves regardless of whether the readers accept it. No, that is not a poet. Poets will care about the readers, use limited language and skills to break through the limitations of language to communicate with readers. They understand the hearts of readers and know how to create emotions. Readers scream, and they scream eternally. This is thoughtfulness. Consideration is also an essential factor for poets. "When the poet saw the moon, he was thinking, the legendary Chang'e has always been lonely, right? She will also regret stealing the elixir of life, right? This is a poet. How many young people, in order to write poems, force themselves to be sad and write What comes out is only words with empty content and pale feelings. Only when they truly understand, learn to care, and learn to be considerate can true feelings be revealed, and poetry will be revealed. , fall in love with the upper floors, fall in love with the upper floors, and now I know the feeling of sadness, I want to say it, but I still want to say it, but I say it’s a good autumn.
