  • Essay / Analysis of Chinese Poetry - 2788

    Poetry has a long-standing place in English literature. It has helped a large number of people to express their thoughts, ideas and convey their emotions. Poetry itself is considered a form of art and how it is understood depends on who is reading it. There are several types of poetry, including: free verse (where one writes freely without motive), acrostic (where the first letter of each line of the poem spells a word), elegy (a poem in which there is often a sadder note about someone's death, but ends with a comforting feeling), haiku (a form of poetry originating in Japan that consists of 3 unrhymed lines in five, seven and five syllables) and etc. In Chinese literature, Chinese poetry has many forms in itself, but they all fall into categories, for example; 律诗,词,歌,and 赋 (although these categories also break down.).律诗 or coded verse can be broken down into lower categories; such as 古体, 古诗 and 绝句. 律诗 dates back to ancient times in China. Its basis is a couplet. A couplet consists of two lines where the last words rhyme. In these poems, there is no limit to the couplets that can be used. In American poetry, couplets simply rhyme their last words. In Chinese poetry, couplets must match in character, although the endings always rhyme.诗 poems appeared in the Tang Dynasty and made many poets famous. These rhyming poems became popular during this dynasty and paved the way for rhyming poems throughout future dynasties/eras. Similarly, 古体 also uses couplets, but the structure, rhyme and content are different. 古诗 is another form of coded verse, it means ancient poetry. It also follows the same path of couplets and contains lines of five or seven characters. 古诗 first appeared with the nineteen...... middle of paper...... in the East." He then goes on to explain how, with a system in which complex concepts are constructed from specific images Again, another example, if we thought about the complex concept of the color red, we could think of images such as: a rose, a cherry, etc. , became an essential part of the development of Imagism. It is quite astonishing to think that one man, with the help of the remaining works of a deceased man, could bring about such a change in the literature we know today. and to think that he drew inspiration from different aspects of Japanese and Chinese culture. In truth, I believe that without Mr. Pound's ideogrammic method (which was brought to him through the remaining works of Ernest Fenollosa). , there would have been no modernist literature (not just poetry), nor even part of the poetry of these modern times (the now) today.
