palindromic allusionThere are many allusions to palindromic poems. For example, Qin Guan had sent Su Shi a strange letter. It was a poem with fourteen words arranged in a circle. The last word of each sentence was the first word of the next sentence. It formed a repeating rhythm, showing his life and leisure state of mind. There was also the story of Su Xiaomei and Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou once sent a letter to Su Xiaomei, which was an ingenious poem. After Su Xiaomei read it, she realized the mystery and read the reduplicated palindromic poem. She was moved by her husband's infatuation. In addition, Li Yu's " Two Lovesickness " was also a palindromic poem. It was read forward to express a man's feelings of missing his wife and children, and read backward to express a woman's feelings of missing her husband. These allusions all reflected the unique charm of palindromic poems in culture.
Palindromic poemsPalindromic poetry was a kind of poetry that could be read directly, backward, or repeatedly. It used the word order, grammar, and flexible meaning of Chinese to form a poem. There were many forms, such as "full palindromic","sentence palindromic","double sentence palindromic","circle palindromic", etc. Its creation technique inherited the artistic characteristics of poetry's repeated chanting, not a simple word game. For example, Su Shi's "Bodhisattva Man·Xia's Boudoir Resentment":"The wind in the willow courtyard is quiet, and the people who sleep during the day are quiet." Fragrant sweat thin clothes cool, cool clothes thin sweat fragrance. The lotus root was served in a bowl of ice with red hands, and the lotus root was served in a bowl of ice with red hands. Lang laughs at the long lotus root, and the long lotus root laughs at Lang. Each sentence could be read backwards into the next sentence. There was also Li Yu's " Two Lovesickness," which read forward was a poem of missing his wife, and read backward was a poem of missing his husband.
A hidden poem usually hid the things that were said at the beginning of the poem. The first word of each sentence was read together to convey the author's unique thoughts. For example, in the Water Margins, Wu Yongwei lured Lu Junyi up the mountain and disguised himself as a fortune-teller to write a poem on the wall of Lu's house. If a righteous man could understand this, he would have no worries if he defected and fled." The first word was " Lu Jun rebelled."
Four Palindromic PoemHere are some examples of palindromic poems with four sentences:
"Empty flowers fall and wine is poured into the vat. The sun rises and the snow melts and the river rises. Red baked shallow pot new fire, dragon group small rolling clear window." [Reading backwards]" The window is clear and the small dragon is crushed. The new fire is slightly red. The river rises and the snow melts on the mountain. The wine in the jar is emptied and the flowers are empty."
There was also the saying," The wind in the willow courtyard calms people to sleep during the day, and the wind in the willow courtyard calms people to sleep during the day." The fragrant sweat is thin and the clothes are cool. The cold clothes are thin and the sweat is fragrant." Wait. These palindromic poems were read into chapters and sentences, showing the unique artistic charm of palindromic poems.
