由原始诗歌二言句式演变成的双音顿节奏单位,是构成《诗经》四言句式的“细胞”,也是构成后来汉语古代诗句式和汉语现代格律诗行式的“细胞”。由这种“细胞”最早构成的《诗经》四言句式,成了后来汉语古代诗句式和汉语现代格律诗行式的基础和骨干。

The two - syllable dun （顿） from the two - character sentence pattern of primitive poetry is the ＂cell＂ of four - character sentence pattern in Book of Song, and is also basically that of sentence patterns of later ancient Chinese poetry as well as line patterns of modem Chinese metrical poetry.
