How was limerick invented? What is limerick?

Limerick poetry is, in fact, vernacular poetry. There are probably two types, one is poems written by people with a low level of education, and the other is given to people with a low level of education. Many of the early poems were in the folk.

For example, the national rhyme of Chu Ci is mostly a popular national song of various princes and kings. Only many of the poems in the Book of Poetry have been collected by poets and modified by their literati and inkmen, and some of the slang has been removed. The ancient poems that can be widely handed down are generally modified by literati and inkmen, so most of the poems you see are literati and inkmen.

This kind of poem, which is based on the common words of daily life, is more easily accepted by the common people with a low level of education. Later, the poets and monks Hanshan, Shidao, Fenggan and others often imitated Wang Fanzhi to write poems.

Who would have thought that this smooth poem would quickly spread ten, ten to hundred, whether it was a village farmer, or a childish child, it could be very simple to believe, and more and more people, imitating the rhythm and file format in Zhang Qijue, also gradually wrote one after another, and slowly produced a new poetry style of "simple structure, simple wording, vivid shape and meaning", because the innovative person is Zhang Dayou, so the poem was named: limerick poem.

After so many years of development trends, and the courage to explore the heroes from all walks of life, the development trend of limericks in the Tang Dynasty has finally become limericks with deeper meanings, the sentences in the poems are more interesting, and the content is simpler, and it will no longer be limited to plain rhyme, almost everyone has a heart and can write. Looking at the historical and cultural development trend of limerick poetry, in fact, there are no more than two most important characteristics: First, it is certainly easy to remember.

The sentence is not too difficult, which means that the common vocabulary of limerick poetry is relatively simple, such as an interesting story widely circulated in the Song Dynasty, the old woman in the countryside is in the poem Su Shi, and responds to the writer of Soochow University, and the old woman in the countryside is calm and unhurried, and writes a limerick poem with her daily life.

The second characteristic of limerick poetry is the pressure rhyme. No matter how you write, limerick poems are full of rhyme from beginning to end, and even from ancient times to the present, this key file format has remained the same, such as the limerick poems circulated in the Qing Dynasty folklore: Thank you very much, how can I chant without talent?

I once remembered a poem about the water tune, 'It's hard to buy a thousand gold for a moment of spring night'. The poem happened to be a wedding banquet when the guests were embarrassed by the novice, made by the bride at will, but caused laughter, and then it also became a folk children's oral laughter, and the poem is wonderful in the last sentence of the "Spring Festival Moment", can only be understood, not spoken.

Oil poems first originated in the Tang Dynasty folk, and later melons and melons continued to develop, showing active vitality. This type of poem is generally easy to understand, witty and humorous, sometimes implicitly ironic, and funny. Limerick poetry is a very interesting genre of slang poetry, which is said to have been named after the Chinese Tang Dynasty writer Zhang Dayou.

In addition, sometimes the author writes poems for self-deprecation, or out of self-humility, which is also called "limerick poetry". Limerick poetry is characterized by slang, witty humor, and small and funny. Although limericks do not pay much attention to rhythm, duality and peace, they are always rhyming, and they are usually composed of five-character or seven-character sentences.

There was a literati in the Tang Dynasty named Zhang Dayou. His greatest hobby in life is to write poetry, limerick poetry is what he invented, easy to understand, not limited to the rhyme, the literary knowledge and rhythm required are not high, easy to pass on the folk praise.

Limerick poetry was actually invented by some people in the market, and limerick poetry is not particular about any rhyme, but it will be made only if it sounds good.

Limerick poetry is a kind of slang poetry that is more interesting and not very linguistic and literary. This kind of poetry is basically from the folk, and it is not composed by great poets, so it does not pay attention to the rhythm, nor does it pay much attention to the balance and duality, but can rhyme. Many people think that one of the biggest characteristics of limerick poetry is that it can write interesting things in life, embarrassing things, or self-deprecation.

You can also write the hot and cold state of the world into a poem, or as a riddle for everyone.

There are two theories about its origin, both of which are related to the Tang Dynasty's "Zhang Dayou". Because he wrote his favorite news into the poem, it was easy to read, so it was widely circulated.

The yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen. This poem has no literary brilliance, but it writes the whole picture of the snow scene and highlights the characteristics of the snow. There is not a single word of snow in the whole poem, but it makes people feel very vivid.

Zhang Dayou describes the snow in the most simple words, and people feel that it is particularly down-to-earth and interesting to read. For a while, this poem was spread by everyone, and some people applauded.

There is also a saying that it is also related to Zhang Dayou. Legend has it that one winter, there was a ** to the ancestral hall to worship, he saw a poem written on the wall, but the poem was written very cheesy, ** read it very angry, so he asked his subordinates to arrest as a poet. His subordinates caught Zhang Dayou, who was the best at making this kind of poem, in order to see if it was written by Zhang Dayou, ** With An Lushan trapped in Nanyang County as the title, let Zhang Dayou write another poem.

Unexpectedly, Zhang's poems are the same as those on the wall, although they are cheesy, they make the listeners laugh, and even this ** laughs. He released Zhang Dayou, and from then on, Zhang Dayou's fame grew. Later, people called this kind of poem limerick.

The limerick poem, which is said to have been first created by an oiler surnamed Zhang in the Tang Dynasty, has its relatively fixed format, such as "one day the sky is clear, make the broom make the broom, make the spade make the spade".

Oil poem [dǎ yóu shī ] The content is popular, the words are witty, and the old style poem does not talk about rhyme, which is said to have been created by Zhang Dayou in the Tang Dynasty, so it is named oil poem.

To name a few limerick poems:

Yongshi Tower" looks black from a distance, thin on the top and thick on the bottom; One day, it will be turned over, and the bottom will be thin and the top will be thick.

Yongbai Zi" Wen Chaozhang Temple is suspicious, and the arguments on the road are even more strange; Mr. Bai Zi looked up the word song, and finally asked me Su Dongpi.

Spring Rain" Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it rains all over the streets. Fell down and laughed at a herd of cows.

Oil poems are particularly simple and easy to understand poems, the origin of history is invented by Li Bai, Li Bai will give a poem after each oil.

It is invented by people in the process of life with auspicious chains. The characteristic is that it is relatively short, and it can reflect the life of the debate society in a chaotic manner, and it is a kind of criticism of real life, which is very smooth, and it comes as soon as you open your mouth, which is not particularly regular.

Limerick poetry was invented by many people based on folk songs, and limerick poetry has no artistic nature, and is generally just a few short sentences.

Written for a child who cries in the middle of the night.

Legend has it that in the past, when the child cried in the middle of the night, the adult went to the Taoist master, and the Taoist master said that he wrote this poem on paper, and held it on the street to let pedestrians pass by and read it three times, so that the child would not cry again. A bit of a superstitious component.

Limerick poetry is an interesting form of slang poetry, which is said to have been named after the Chinese Tang Dynasty writer Zhang Dayou. Zhai Hao of the Qing Dynasty once quoted Zhang Zhang's "Snow Poems" in his "Popular Edition, Literature, and Oil Poems": "The river is general, and the well is black and hollow."

The yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen. Later generations called this kind of slangy, humorous, small and interesting poems "limerick poems". In addition, sometimes the author writes poems for self-deprecation, or out of self-humility, which is also called "limerick poetry".
