唐诗300首(三百首)-离线版 1.58

The phrase "熟读唐诗三百首, 不会作诗也会吟" embodies the principle that practice leads to proficiency. Immersing oneself in literature through reading and imitation cultivates a deep understanding and accumulates knowledge. Mastery of content allows one to recite fluently and compose effortlessly. This foundational skill enhances literary, linguistic, and writing abilities, alongside a greater appreciation for classical Chinese literature.

Tang poetry exhibits a rich variety of forms. The ancient style mainly consists of five-character and seven-character verses. In addition, there are two forms of regulated verse: the quatrain (绝句) and the regulated poem (律诗), each further categorized into five-character and seven-character varieties. Altogether, Tang poetry is comprised of six core forms: five-character ancient poetry, seven-character ancient poetry, five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains, five-character regulated poems, and seven-character regulated poems. Ancient poetry tends to be more flexible in its tonal patterns and structure, allowing variations in length and rhyme scheme. In contrast, regulated poetry adheres to stricter rules regarding line numbers and tonal variation, with specific requirements for parallelism within the verses.

The diversity and innovation within Tang poetry are remarkable. It inherits traditional folk songs from the Han and Wei dynasties while greatly developing narrative structures; the evolution of both five- and seven-character forms created longer works that express complex emotions. Regulated poetry stands out for its refinement and symmetry, marking a significant development in Chinese poetic tradition. While these strict regulations enhance the aesthetic qualities of poetry, they can also constrain creative expression.
