A Textual Research of Rhythm of the Collected Poems of Zu Tang

The collected poems of Zutang are mainly about the life of monk Yi Cun when he was living in the areas of Fu Zhou,Quan Zhou and Zhang Zhou. The main contents of the poems are the popularization of philosophy of Buddhism. However,the language is so natural and brief that language researchers consider it as one of the most important oral material for the Late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties Period. The forms are lively and the rhythms are not confined in the normal patterns. Therefore,by summarizing and arranging the features of the rhythms of poems from phonological point of view,we can get to know and understand the actual situations of phonetics of that time.
