Can anyone here tell me the ping ze tone pattern of Chinese poetry? Which lines are meant to rhyme with which other lines?

Posted

Ping: --

Ze: V

In a 五言律诗 with 8 lines the tone pattern is as follows:

V V -- -- V

-- -- V V --

-- -- -- V V

V V V -- --

These are the first 4 lines, then it's just repeated. If the poem starts with a 平声, the second and first lines exchange their places, so it would be like this:

-- -- V V --

V V -- -- V

-- -- -- V V

V V V -- --

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

About rhyme:

xxxxx①,

xxxxx②。

xxxxx③,

xxxxx④。

② and ④ should be rhyme with each other,① is either rhyme with them too or not,it's not obligatory.

③is not rhyme with three of them.

Like this:

静夜思 (李白)

床前明月光,guāng

疑是地上霜。shuāng

举头望明月,yuè

低头思故乡。xiāng

怨情 (李白)

美人卷珠帘,lián

深坐颦娥眉。měi

但见泪痕湿,shī

不知心恨谁。shéi
