1. Lyricity is the most basic characteristic of poetry. Poetry always expresses strong emotions. Qu Yuan's "The remaining generals are not hesitant to follow Dong Dao, and the general will fall into a coma for the rest of his life", which expresses Qu Yuan's noble sentiments and unswerving spirit; Du Zimei's "Setting up thousands of mansions" expresses a broad mind; Tao Yuanming ( Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan) expresses his yearning for the pastoral life in Sheung Shui. Readers can always feel the protagonist's thoughts and emotions during the appreciation process. The words are the voice of the heart, and the poems are caused by true feelings and are naturally revealed.
2. Poetry typically reflects life through images. The emotions of poetry can often be gathered and contained in artistic images. Compared with other literary works, poetry reflects life in a more concentrated and typical way. "Worrying about Li Yuan in his poor years, sighing at the heat in his intestines" shows us the image of a poet who is still worried about the country and the people regardless of the difficulties he is in, and is deeply admired by future generations.
3. Poetry expresses thoughts and feelings through artistic conception. Wang Changling said in "Poetic Gesture": "The first is the physical realm. If you want to write a landscape poem, you should describe the realm of springs, rocks, clouds and peaks... The second is the situation, entertainment, sorrow and resentment. If you open it to your mind and think about it, you will get it. It's true. "The artistic conception of poetry is a poetic artistic realm formed by the integration of the life picture depicted by the poet and the thoughts and feelings expressed. Wang Guowei said: "All scenery language is love language." However, the objects and scenery created by the poet are no longer exactly the same as the appearance of life, but a fusion of the poet's subjective color scenery and objects. It is the condensation of the poet's unique feelings, thoughts and emotions, and also the expression of the poet's temperament and personality. Moreover, the purpose of writing scenes is to express emotions. Scenery and emotion are inseparable. There is often scenery within the emotion and emotion within the scenery. Infinite harmony is the realm pursued by poets.
4. Classical poetry is characterized by conciseness and implicitness. The language of poetry is actually a special and mysterious symbol system, which not only contains an abstract and systematic rational implication, but also contains emotional beauty. Ancient Chinese poetry is best at expressing the richest content and thoughts in the least language. This is the extremely refined feature of ancient poetry. Refinement and reserve are always related. But refinement does not mean implicitness, and expressing one's heart directly does not count as implicitness. Poetry language that does not directly express emotions mostly expresses semantic meaning through metaphors, synaesthesia, puns, allusions, symbols, etc., thus making people feel implicit and hazy.
5. Ancient poetry has musical beauty. Some ancient poems were originally sung to music.
The musical beauty of ancient poetry is even more reflected in its language. If language has the rules of rhythmic beauty, it will undoubtedly increase the beauty of poetry. Among them, the rhythm of quatrains and rhymed poetry is roughly the same, that is, the number of words is certain, the number of sentences is certain, the rhythm has a fixed format, and the general principle is to rhyme. Poetry uses this language factor in this way, starting from various aspects, for example, paying attention to the neatness of sentence structure or Change, pay attention to rhythm and contrast, pay attention to level and rhyme, thus forming a kind of rhythm and rhythmic beauty.
