Discusses the musical beauty of Chinese poetry including rhythm, tone, structure and vocal beauty.

Introduction to Chinese poetry:

It literally means Chinese poetry, and this concept is mainly used outside the Chinese-speaking world. Some of China's neighboring countries, such as North Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, use Chinese characters as written characters, so they are naturally deeply influenced by Chinese poetry. As Zen Buddhism spread in these countries, Chinese poetry became the most important form of Zen literature.

Social influence:

1. Japan is the country with the most developed Chinese poetry culture outside of China. In Japan, starting from the Nara period, literati began to create Japanese poetry in the form of Chinese poetry due to the influence of Chinese culture.

The most obvious difference between Japanese Chinese poetry and Japanese native Waka and haiku is that a Chinese poem has four lines (quatrains) or eight lines (rhymed poetry), and each line is usually five or seven characters, while a Waka poem has , Haiku has five, seven, five or five, seven, five, seven, seven and other long and short sentences, which are more like Chinese words.

In 751, Japan's earliest Chinese poem "Huaifengzao" was published. Afterwards, it reached its heyday during the Heian period, when collections of imperial Chinese poems such as the Ling Yun Collection, the Bunka Hidery Collection, and the Chingkoku Collection continued to appear, and their popularity was called the "dark period of national style." Afterwards, Japanese Chinese poetry continued to develop during the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. For example, Ikkyu Sojun's "Kungunshu" included many of Ikkyu's Chinese poems.

The development of Chinese poetry reached its peak in the Edo period. Almost all educated Japanese during the Meiji Restoration could write good or bad Chinese poetry. After the Meiji Restoration, the influence of Japanese Chinese poetry began to decline, and it declined rapidly during the Showa period. However, ancient Chinese education at junior high school level and above still includes the recitation, interpretation, and creation of Chinese poetry and Chinese characters.

2. During the Goryeo Dynasty, Chinese poetry gradually became popular in Goryeo. Goryeo poets such as Cui Chong, Li Kuibao, Zheng Daozhuan, etc. have a large number of Chinese poems handed down. In addition, Goryeo literati also recorded ancient Korean folk songs in Chinese characters, forming a new poetry form, which later generations called "Biequ style", also known as "Jingji style song". The 334 format is used.

For example, the famous Korean folk song "Arirang", or the ancient style opening song "The Call" of the TV series "Dae Jang Geum". Beginning in the middle of the Goryeo Dynasty, the dialects with Korean characteristics developed and reached their peak during the Joseon Dynasty. Shidiao is a Korean slang folk song, but because it was compiled and recorded by Chinese poetry poets, and Chinese poets created many Shidiao, the factors of Chinese poetry were naturally incorporated into the development of Shidiao.
