Is there a routine for writing new poems?
Answer: There must be.
However, in the 2 1 century full of routines,
However, the field of new poetry creation does not follow the routine.
The creators of new poems often write poems at will.
Think of the previous sentence, then think of the next sentence, and we can see the feeling of patchwork from scattered works.
It can also be seen that they obviously did not conceive and carve according to the new writing routine.
Perhaps, most people think that writing poetry is a word of God.
Write wherever you want.
However, when we study classical poetry, we can obviously feel the routine of classical poetry creation.
"The monk on the moon knocks at the door" or "The monk on the moon shuts the door" are the results of hard thinking and meticulous carving.
Metrics, phonology, imagery, artistic conception, emotion, etc. All these factors have become the perspective of our interpretation of poetry and the routine of ancient poetry creation.
Of course, from the reader's point of view, we use these elements to evaluate the quality of a poem.
From the author's point of view, it is something that they repeatedly brew in their hearts before they start writing poems.
Both metrical poems and Song Ci have strict rhymes, images and metrical forms.
There are obvious chapter structure arrangements, such as writing scenery first, then expressing emotion, expressing ambition first, or blending scenes.
In the creation of new poetry, it is obvious that many creators do whatever they want.
Lacking the arrangement of aesthetic discourse structure,
The final result is that the new poems written are either empty or prose is not prose, and poetry is not poetry.
Especially with the rise of the so-called post-modernism trend of thought, the creation of new poetry is even less particular.
For most poems, it is easier for Xiao Bai to learn to write ancient poems or modern poems because there are strict routines to follow.
The creation of new poems sometimes has no rules to follow, while ancient poems and modern poems should be written according to the requirements of syntax and meter of classical Chinese and the typical layout of the articles that have been formed.
You wouldn't be like a poem.
New poetry is different. Some people dare to call themselves poems with such nonsense sentences as "Xu Fan is beautiful".
Since the birth of new poetry in the 1920s,
Hu Shi advocated the writing of vernacular poems, and the earliest exploration was that there was no routine to follow.
So there are also many saliva poems.
Because the Crescent School advocated that new poems should pay attention to metrical patterns, Wen Yiduo put forward metrical new poems.
Li Jinfa explored the writing of symbolic new poems until the Imagism became popular in 1930s.
Poets are exploring the methodology of new poetry creation.
However, later, the creation of new poetry required the liberation of poetic style, and vernacular Chinese, political slogans and Wang Guozhen-style slogan sentences became the greatest harm to poetry aesthetics.
In this way, there are not many people who explore the new poetry routine.
Anyway, everyone writes like this, and no one says who wrote it right or wrong.
As a result of this development, up to now, a set of basic routines for writing poems has not been fully formed.
At least the current teaching of new poetry is not like teaching children to write poetry in ancient times, and the basic principles of poetry, such as leveling, rhyming and conception, can be referenced.
Nowadays, few Chinese teachers in middle schools know exactly how to make children write new poems.
Of course, our Chinese education has always been cramming. We have never taught children to write, but we have always emphasized reading.
Recently, it was said that in the reform of Chinese education in middle schools, reading should be increased, and the length of examination papers should be increased to more than 10 thousand words, with the aim of urging children to read.
Personally, I think it is unnecessary. What really motivates children to read widely is not cramming.
But to find an application outlet for reading. The best exit is writing.
It is better to emphasize the cultivation of children's writing ability than to emphasize reading.
Once the creative passion is stimulated, reading is a matter of course.
So is the creation of new poetry. If children are simply asked to read all the poems in ancient and modern times,
Apart from being able to participate in a TV program that recites poems, I really failed to achieve the purpose of encouraging reading poems.
The ultimate purpose of encouraging reading is to encourage creativity.
And if children don't know how to create, from which dimensions to interpret, imitate and learn the works of their predecessors,
How can we stimulate creation?
It's like the sound of a person who just learned erhu pulling out a saw. Can you feel the beauty in it?
If you don't feel beauty, words are no different from dirt.
Having said that, let's go back to the theme: the creation of new poetry must follow a certain routine:
I think this routine is completely different from the analysis and induction center in our past primary and secondary school teaching.
It is to interpret how the creator wrote this poem step by step from the reader's point of view.
Just like cooking, if you only enjoy delicious food in a restaurant, you will never experience the beautiful process of watching a dish from raw materials to baking in the kitchen.
The same is true of writing poetry. The purpose of poetry appreciation education is to teach readers to create poetry.
And this routine may not be complicated, in layman's terms, it is something used to express feelings and thoughts in the heart.
The first step in the creation of new poetry is to determine emotion. Only when your emotions emerge can you have good poetry, which is a basic premise.
The second step is to determine whether the image is abstract or concrete, and what kind of image do you want to use to express your inner feelings.
The third step is to conceive the plot, create the artistic conception and express your feelings vividly. To the second step above, I just got some modules.
Now, you have to figure out what kind of layout and plot to use to express your feelings.
The fourth step, language carving, through the use of rhetoric, increase the aesthetic feeling of language.
For example:
The first step, feelings emerge: you and your girlfriend are at arm's length, and your heart is full of melancholy;
The second step, choose to express this melancholy image: I, cloud, far and near.
The third step is to conceive the plot and create the artistic conception: look at the clouds and me.
So the poem appeared: look at me, look at the clouds, I am far away, the clouds are very close,
The fourth step is to use rhetoric: ellipsis.
So a poem came out:
"You?
Look back at me.
Watch the clouds later.
I think
You looked at me from a distance.
You observe the clouds up close. "
This is a routine of new poetry creation.
Of course, in the use of routines, we can also refer to the techniques of refining words (weighing and polishing every word), refining meaning (deliberately creating poetic artistic conception) and rhythm in classical poetry, such as Fu Bixing.
In short, there is such a routine, and artistic imagination is exerted on this routine.
It will not make writing poetry a random act, and there is no rule to follow.
Next time, don't make a whole sentence at will. Ask others how your poem is written, which will make others think you are ignorant.
