中文古诗具有音乐美、绘画美、建筑美的特点，诗之“三美”源于其组成要素——汉字之形音义的三位一体，声色味的兼容并蓄。汉字有平上去入四声，古人将其归并为平仄二类，并运用到诗词创作中去，加之押韵、对仗等手法，尽可能使汉字的各类美感最大限度地发挥出来，形成了中国的格律诗词。英歌诗社将开设一系列讲座，通过学习诗词格律的基本知识，使诗社成员能在较短时间内学会写诗、填词。同时，诗社学员通过互相学习，切磋琢磨，也必能写出具有较高水准的作品。
In Chinese tradition, poetry has consistently been held in extremely high regard, often providing a format and a forum for both public and private expressions of deep emotion. In addition, poems reveal the inner life of their composers to an audience of peers, readers, and scholars. Sponsored by the Department of Asian Studies, the UBC Chinese Poetry Society (UCPS) will offer a series of lectures to help its members master the basic skills of composing Chinese metrical poems, and promote excellence in reading and appreciation of Chinese poetry as well.
