Lecture Three: Melodious Ancient Chinese Poetry
第三讲 优美动听的诗歌
Course Syllabus 课程章节
1This lecture will cover the development of Chinese poetry and analyse the stylistic features of ancient Chinese poems: neat antithesis in form, conciseness of language and cadence in rhythm. A famous short poem “A Tranquil Night” composed by a romantic poet Li Bai will be taught as a sample to show how ancient Chinese poets expressed their nostalgia in sheer 20 simple Chinese words.
通过本讲的学习,你将了解中国诗歌的发展历程,也将认识到因为汉语是一种有声调语言、汉字是一种方块文字,从而汉语诗歌非常讲究形式上的工整对偶、语言上的简洁凝练、节奏上的抑扬顿挫。此外,你还可以通过学习《静夜思》体会诗人是如何表达思乡情感的。
