When Daqian poets wrote poems, they first focused on rhythm and rhyme.
Therefore, Gu Beichuan's "Gu Beichuan's Essay on Rhythm and Rhythm" is also divided into two parts: rhythm and rhyme.
The meter is relatively simple, and it mainly explains what five characters are, what seven characters are, what quatrains are, and what rhymed poetry is.
Then on the basis of each theme, analyze the equality and contrast.
For example, 廄廄平廄廄 versus 平平仄廄平.
And ping 廄 平廄 to 仄平仄廄平.
But the only thing to remember is that there must be no three-level harmony and three-tilt harmony.
That’s pretty much it for me to explain the rhythms here.
The rest of the sound is the most important thing.
Because this is often the culprit that tortures most Daqian poets!
But for Gu Beichuan, it was not a big deal.
Because later generations have experienced so many dynasties in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, countless excellent poems have been produced.
Someone has long tallied up the commonly used rhymes and compiled them into a book called "108 Rhymes".
In addition, Gu Beichuan even included 29 rhyming methods.
For example, the most common rhymes are end-of-sentence rhyming, intra-sentence rhyming, even-numbered sentence rhyming, and first-sentence rhyming, etc.
So what does this book "Gu Beichuan's Essay on Rhythm and Rhythm" mean?
It’s the equivalent of an encyclopedia in the poetry world!
When others write poetry, they have to think hard about rhyme and rhythm.
But Gu Beichuan has already summarized all this. The only thing these young men need to do is memorize by rote!
Once you have the rhyme and the meter, no matter how poor your level is, you can still make a coherent and coherent evaluation.
Therefore, after reading this book, many disciples were shocked and looked at Gu Beichuan with disbelief in their eyes.
"My mentor... his attainments in poetry are truly incredible."
There are a total of 108 rhymes, twenty-nine rhyming methods, and various meters.
I dare to ask today's great officials, which literary scholar can have such a profound reserve of knowledge?
"Once upon a time, I thought that being rich in knowledge and being talented was just an exaggeration. Until today, when I met my teacher, I realized that the ancients were honest and I would not deceive."
Seeing many disciples marveling in surprise, Gu Beichuan also laughed and said: "Don't say those useless words, and tell me whether this book is useful?"
"Of course it is useful! With this book, I will definitely be able to improve my poetry!"
"In this spring, being named on the gold list is a big deal."
"So you know what to do from now on?"
"Students must work hard day and night, work hard and sleep night and day. Even if they die a hundred times, they must understand this book thoroughly, and at the worst, they must memorize it."
"Well, once you have this awareness, you will feel relieved as a teacher."
"It's not necessary to study it thoroughly. You can just memorize it earlier. This is just poetry. The remaining eight-part subject and policy theory will be passed on to you in a while."
After hearing this, the eyes of the disciples bloomed with bright colors.
There is even one!
The original purpose of them coming to Gu Beichuan to study was simply to make up for their weaknesses in poetry.
So that I can be named on the gold list this spring.
The rhyme and rhythm essay given by Gu Beichuan also perfectly solves this problem.
In other words, the deal between their fathers and their mentor has been completed.
Even if they don't teach anything next, their parents will definitely not be able to say a single word "no".
Just because this "Gu Beichuan's Notes on Sound, Rhythm, Rhythm and Writing", if it were revealed, would definitely be a priceless treasure, a word worth a thousand dollars.
It’s fame, fortune, and class leap!
Exchanging half of the family property for this treasure book is not a loss.
But who would have thought that Gu Beichuan would continue to teach.
Although they had never seen their mentor dabble in the Eight-legged Gu and Ce theory, at this moment, no one had the slightest doubt.
"Okay, that's the end of today's lesson. Take this book back with you, study it and memorize it, and don't slack off."
Seeing that Gu Beichuan was about to leave after saying this, Zhen Renyi and Chen Chuge couldn't sit still and hurriedly shouted: "Teacher, please wait."
Gu Beichuan turned around when he heard this and said, "What's the matter?"
"Teacher, a few days ago, Brother Chen and I returned to our hometown and participated in the Jiangnan County Poetry Festival."
"Mr. Wu Liu, the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, has been a close friend of you for a long time. He has specially organized a poetry meeting and would like to invite you to the banquet."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he frowned immediately.
The bookstore thing was just a start, but it was particularly important and related to his subsequent layout.
At this time, because a poem will leave, it is a bit putting the cart before the horse.
Besides, he didn't know Mr. Wu Liu at all.
Seeing that he was about to refuse, Zhen Renyi hurriedly said again: "Teacher, there was a villain who made things difficult for my disciples and others at the poetry meeting, and even made arrogant remarks to you, which was very disrespectful."
"It was Mr. Wu Liu who helped me to save my face."
"Besides, Mr. Wu Liu is the leader of Jiangnan literary circles and is very famous. This invitation is particularly sincere. I hope my teacher will consider it." After saying this, Zhen Renyi knelt down on one knee.
"I hope my mentor will think about it." Chen Chuge said the same thing.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he sighed and said, "I have made my own decision on this matter. We will discuss it later."
"For today's plan, the most important thing is to memorize this book of rhyme, rhythm and writing. Don't be distracted."
"No, thank you for your teaching."
…
Time passed like this for about ten days.
In Huainan City, news spread all over the place that Feihong Bookstore was going to open a branch.
Even if some bookstore owners didn't believe it at first, when the three of them became a tiger, they won't believe it anymore.
So, all the bookstore owners discussed it and felt that if this continued, it would be a dead end.
Simply organize people and go to Bagong Village together.
Although the villagers of Bagong Village are strong, they are still just a village.
Bosses like them can recruit dozens of good players by spending some money and casually wandering around the city. It is not easy to break into Bagong Village.
…
On this day, Gu Beichuan was writing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at his residence in Nanshan.
But who would have thought that not long after he picked up the pen, Uncle Fu walked in.
"Master, it's not good."
"Those merchants, all in their thirties and fifties, gathered outside Nanshan Juwai."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he frowned.
He knew that these merchants were anxious, but he never thought that they could be so anxious.
If in later generations, this would be organizing force and breaking into people's houses privately.
"Gathering outside my residence in Nanshan, what's there to do that's out of the ordinary?"
"That's not true. Those bookstore owners are still very polite. They just said they wanted to talk to the young master, and they didn't even say a single unpleasant word."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, then go out and talk to them."
…
At this time, Yan Bagong, the head of Bagong Village, was at home.
Li Laoer rushed in in a panic and said: "Village Chief, it's not good, it's not good."
"There's a group of people coming from outside and they're going to cause trouble for Gu Dong's family!"
