Excerpt from Revelation of Melody
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sword bends against the bow. Half a brook is green, and thousands of trees are red. Wild crossing swallows wear willow rain, fragrant pond fish play with the wind.
Explanation:
The sky is boundless, the sun is warm, the sword is against the bow, the shallow stream is clear, the jungle is full of trees and colorful. At the country ferry, willows are green, and swallows fly over the soft and slender branches, just like flying in the rain. In the green pond, delicate lotus flowers dance with the wind, and fish swim happily under the lotus leaves.

The Enlightenment of Rhythm is an enlightening reading to train children to cope with and master rhythm. According to rhyme, it includes astronomy, geography, flowers and trees, birds and beasts, figures and artifacts. From single word pairs to double word pairs, three word pairs, five word pairs, seven word pairs to eleven word pairs, phonology is harmonious and catchy, from which pronunciation, vocabulary and rhetoric training are obtained.
From single words to multiple words, it reads like singing. Compared with other three-character and four-sentence structures, it is more attractive. This kind of reading is unique and enduring in the enlightenment reading. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, books such as Dream-seeking Parallel Sentences and Liweng Duiyun have been written in this way and have been widely circulated.
Poetry couplets are an important literary form in ancient China. They have been handed down from generation to generation for more than 2,000 years and still have strong vitality. In ancient times, the cultivation of this kind of literary accomplishment began from childhood in private schools, and there were strict requirements for tone, temperament and meter. Therefore, some works on temperament came into being, among which the Enlightenment of Temperament by Che in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty was a representative one.
Today, we use the version of Mo Gengtang collected by Wei Chaojun in Chengdu during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, about 1883. Its cover title is "Melody Enlightenment" and its inner page title is "Melody Enlightenment Summary". The author's topics are Nie Ximin's The Peak of Hengshan Mountain, Che's The Two Pavilions in Shaoling and Revision of Notes on Fengjiang in Xiangtan Xiadaguan.
Since this book is called Summary, naturally it will only extract the most important part of the rhythm enlightenment. Divided into two volumes, there are only 30 rhymes (that is, the rhymes used by most metrical poems). Obviously, this is a summary of the first two volumes written by Zhu Ming, and on this basis, some modifications and revisions are made as the author thinks necessary.
