- Abstract:Rhyming is always considered one of the most important phonaesthetics of Chinese poetry, especially the poetry of the Tang (618-907 AD) and Song (960-1279 AD) dynasties. However, poetry written in modern Chinese Mandarin tends to focus less on terminal rhyme. The present study investigates statistically the diachronic development of terminal rhyme in different kinds of Chinese poetry, including ancient poetry written in the Tang and Song dynasties, modern Chinese Mandarin poetry written since the1920s, modern Taiwanese poetry and Chinese translations of English poems. The results revealed that: 1) Terminal rhyme probability in three adjacent verse lines of ancient poetry is much higher than that in all the modern poetry 2) Though the probability of terminal rhyme in two adjacent verse lines of many Mandarin new poetry is lower than that of ancient poetry, there are still numbers of new Mandarin poetry preferring to the terminal rhyme 3) The rhyming patterns of Taiwanese poetry in two adjacent verse lines and three verse lines are very close to the new Mandarin poetry written and published in the1940s and the poetry created after 1978 4) The rhyming patterns of the translated poetry are similar to both the Taiwanese poetry and the new Mandarin poetry in 1940s as well as after 1978 5) It is reasonable for us to separate the short history of new Mandarin poetry into several periods.
