This article examines the development of metrical patterns in Chinese poetry. With respect to source material, I have employed Sinosphere as an integral domain of vision, while also seeking out-of-domain poetic texts parallel to those in China. With regards to methodology, I have used digital tools to carry out the interactive corroboration between theoretical literature and metric analysis. And conceptually, I have emphasized the logic informing the literary era and connections between ideas, adopting a historical view regarding the change and development of metrical patterns. In the article, I compare a series of Japanese composition rules for poetry, including those found in the Bunkyou hifulon 文鏡秘府論, Sakumon daitai 作文大躰, Outaku fukatsushou 王沢不渇鈔, against texts that contain writing rules for Chinese poetry, such as the Tang ren xuan tangshi 唐人選唐詩, the Shiren yuxie 詩人玉屑, and the Yingkui lüsui 瀛奎律髓. On the basis of this analysis, I explain how metrical poems developed from 'the second-character rule' 拈二 to 'the second-andfourth-character rule' 二四黏對 following the establishment of dominant rhyme patterns in the Tang and Song dynasties. The relevant issues concerned: how to regulate the third character in five-character poems; how its regulation proceeded from 'protecting the waist' 護腰 to 'avoiding the same tone in the last three characters' 避下三連, and subsequently to 'different tones in the third and fifth character' 三五異聲. The regulation applied not only to five-character poems, but also to sevencharacter poems. In sum, after establishing the norm of 'avoiding the same tone in the last three characters,' each character of the poem became standardized, indicating that Tang poetry had already completed the last stage in the construction of metrical patterns. As for the development of 'different tones in the third and fifth character' by later Song poets, it should be seen as a more advanced consideration of the norm. |
