Five-character rhyme poems are divided into two styles: flat and oblique, and each style is divided into two types: formal and partial. In five-character rhyme poems, the first sentence does not fit into the formal pattern, and the sloping style is the most common.
According to the rules of Ping and Ze, there are four basic sentence patterns in five-character poems:
1. Ping and Ping (Zi Qi Qi and Qi Qi);
2 , 廄仄廄平平 (仄起平狠式);
3. 平平平廻仄 (平起仄狠法);
4. 平平仄廄平 (平起平) closing type).
These four sentence patterns are the basis for the changes in the flat and oblique formats of rhymed poetry, thus forming the four basic formats of five-character rhymed poetry.
