Words are originally sung along with music, and all songs have certain melodies and rhythms. The sum of these melodies and rhythms is the tone of words. There are many kinds of words in the form of 1000 (these forms are called thesaurus), so we give them some names, that is, the names of epigrams.
Between words and tones, or according to the tone of words, or according to the tone of words, tunes are called epigrams, usually depending on the content of words. After the Song Dynasty, Ci developed and changed continuously, mainly according to the melody, and the epigraph had nothing to do with the content of Ci.
When the word is completely divorced from the song, the epigraph is only used as the formula of the word and phonological structure. A epigraph is the name of a word tone, such as the word "Qinyuanchun Snow", in which "Qinyuanchun" is the epigraph and "Snow" is the title of the word. In the word "Yongmei", "Fu" is the name of the epigraph, and "Yongmei" is the title of the word. Epigraph usually determines the level of words.
