A Quantitative Research of the Book of Odes (Shījīng 詩經) : the Discovery of the Underlying Rhythm in the Incentive Process (xīng 興)

Résumé

In the Book of Odes, how to describe the rhythmic pattern has been a question. In order to answer the question, this study presents an algorithm in order to extract the rhythm from the text at the line (ju 句) level and interpret the incentive process (xing 興) : 1. Note down the frequency of each Chinese character in each position in each line, 2. For each line, the variation of frequency of each Chinese character can be interpreted as literary rhythm, 3. Compare each line by the defined literary rhythm which can be identical, complementary or symmetrical,
 4. Such comparison is expected to explain the feeling of a reader about a textual unity, especially between lines produced with the incentive process. This work proposes a new way of reading and allows evaluation of style distance between poetic texts.
