Why can't the first sentence of the quatrains rhyme?

Basically, everyone doesn't know what to say, and most people seem to post poems written blindly. ...

Whether it is a quatrain or a metrical poem, there may be two situations in which the first sentence is rhymed or not.

I don't know how much you know about the four basic sentence patterns and antithesis of metrical poems, as well as the changes and difficulties of sentence patterns. If you know the basics of metrical poetry, this question is not a problem.

1, even up and down:

Flat and light, flat and light.

Flat and light, flat and light.

2. Level up and down:

Flat and light, flat and light.

Flat and light, flat and light.

3. Delivery and delivery formula:

Flat and light, flat and light.

Flat and light, flat and light.

4. Folding up and folding down:

Very flat, very flat, very flat.

Flat and light, flat and light.

Among the above four basic formats, 1 and 3 are the cases where the last word of the first sentence falls into rhyme. In this simple way, you can probably understand something, right?

Yan Ying added: There is no such thing as a level tone in metrical poems, so the example you cited in the supplementary question can only be regarded as written by the author for fluency, and it does not belong to rhyme in a strict sense. If you look up Ping Yun Shui Meter, as long as it is not in the same part, it can't be counted as rhyme. Basically, if the first sentence of all metrical poems begins with "Yi", the word is unlikely to have a sense of rhyme. In short, it should be remembered that in the creation of metrical poems and words, there is no generally consistent boundary between flat voice and low voice, which has been gradually broken since the popularity of Beiqu.

Back to lqlwlk: Li Bai does have a lot of ancient styles, but this one is undoubtedly a quatrain, and it is a "pouting style".

Hui Baoxi: Pingyunshui did appear in the Song and Jin Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, rhyming was widely used as the standard of poetry writing, but there was no conflict between them. The level rhyme is nearly half less than the cut rhyme. In fact, it is to combine some rhymes in the old rhyme book, and later generations will take Pingshui rhyme as the standard of their poems. Therefore, as long as it is a metrical poem, put it in the table of Ping Yun Shui, the rhyme feet must all belong to the same rhyme department, because it is the most generalized rhyme book.

As far as words are concerned, Bai Xiang Ci Pu is not about rhyme, but the book about rhyme generally uses Linz Zheng Yun written by Ge Zai in Qing Dynasty, which is a rhyme book based on ping, and then the rhyme department is merged to a greater extent.

In addition, with regard to poetry creation, of course, we should support various poetic styles. However, if the creation is marked as quatrains or metrical poems, it must conform to their norms. The meter and rhyme of metrical poetry have not changed for hundreds of years, and the development of poetry (here, poetry in a broad sense) in these hundreds of years is more reflected in the emergence and evolution of words, songs, modern poetry and other forms. Therefore, I am afraid that the rules of metrical poetry should not be changed, but should be respected as a cultural heritage.

Supplement: Simply put, every sentence of a metrical poem must rhyme as long as the last word is flat, and it will not rhyme if the last word is unclear.
