Speaking of elegance, it seems more like the patent of classical poetry. Why do you say that? Beauty, as an aesthetic category, refers to the affinity between subject and object, and the object is not threatening, even pleasant and enjoyable. There is a leisurely charm here. The ancients made it at sunrise and rested at sunset. Occasionally, they come under the pine tree and sleep on high pillows and stones. They believe that heaven and man are one, and heaven has rules. Even if they die, they think that life has not come to an end, and the dead continue to live in an orderly way like the living. Therefore, ancient poetry is addicted to the artistic conception of blending things with me and scenes; This is the beauty that our people yearn for today. Although many ancient poets also wrote about the vicissitudes of life, they lacked a thorough pessimistic orientation because they believed in the reincarnation of heaven and the final report of good and evil. Bai Juyi's writing about the sufferings of the lower classes is not as smooth as writing about official tours and rural scenery. Xin Qiji's works mostly express the ambition of depression, which can be used as pastoral poetry and beautiful. As the saying goes: if you are rich, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be immune to it. No matter how unfortunate the ancients were, they would never lose interest in creating beautiful artistic conception; Because they believe that heaven is above and God will help others.
When we talk about the word "modern", it means the passing of pastoral utopia and the intensification of human crisis consciousness since the industrial era. People living in rural acquaintance society are easy to let go, while people living in cities are lonely and helpless. So is it really "modern"? Poetry in the sense that it is difficult to concentrate on it? Beautiful? .
When the industrialization process has not been completed, there are indeed some poets who remain romantic and continue to be "beautiful". They cling to the beauty of afterglow, and let themselves hold on to the dream of self-deception. Once this dream is broken, most of their endings are tragedies. Pushkin's love poems are intoxicating. He died among gladiators. Byron's poems are beautiful and full of passion, and his humanistic idealism is often tortured by reality. While composing the sweet song "Athens Girl", he had to accuse the world of sin and hypocrisy with "Don Juan". Such a poet who has been torn for a long time will not live long even if he does not die of illness. So, he only lived to be 36 years old. Another poet, Ye Saining, who is famous for his poetic beauty, hanged himself and only lived for thirty years. When the carefree era of mankind is gone forever, who can forget it? Beautiful. "
Generally speaking, Baudelaire is regarded as the leader of the post-romantic creation trend in the history of modern western poetry. His masterpiece is Flowers of Evil, which must have something to do with? Beautiful "has nothing to do with this. Malarme's Afternoon of the Faun and Valerie's Graveyard by the Sea are also beautiful. Yes, they see beauty from the other side, fantasize about beauty from the road of death, and will not find beauty from reality.
