What is romanticism? What are the main manifestations of romanticism?

Romanticism is one of the basic creative methods of literature and art, and together with realism, it constitutes the two mainstream ideological trends of literature and art. As a creative method, romanticism pays attention to the subjective inner world while reflecting the objective reality, expresses the passionate pursuit of the ideal world, and often uses passionate language, magnificent imagination and exaggerated techniques to create images. Romantic creative tendency has a long history. As early as the oral creation period of human literature and art, some works had romantic factors and characteristics to varying degrees, but romanticism at this time neither formed a trend of thought nor was it a creative method that people consciously mastered.
