The beauty of Chinese classical poetry not only lies in its strong rhythm and harmonious rhyme,but also in its symbolizing function of objective things and their connotation.The formation of Chinese classical poetry's rhyme and rhythm and its symbolizing function is not because of the frequntly-employed rhythm,rhyme,tonal patterns,alliterative compound with the same initial consonant and rhyming compound which are based on characteristics of single syllable and four tones of classical Chinese pronunciation,and not of the outcome of the expert use of some language by Chinese classical poets,but because of the pictographic ideograph-Chinese generative system-has for a long time taken shape.
