On the one hand, the number of words is neat, on the other hand, it is relatively rhyming and flat.
From Chu Ci to Tang Poetry, Song Ci and Yuan Qu, ancient poetry has a relatively fixed language form and strict prosodic requirements. This makes all kinds of ancient poems catchy and powerful to read. Generally speaking, various forms of ancient poetry have a strong sense of rhythm and rhythm. This sense of rhythm and rhythm are combined with people's thoughts and feelings to form a specific language atmosphere.
As for modern poetry, its beauty is mainly reflected in the novelty of images, which is more in line with the reading habits of most modern readers and easier to create an atmosphere. In addition, China's modern poetry originated from the vernacular before and after the May 4th Movement and grew up with it. The free form of modern poetry after breaking the rules has always been the basis of its creation.
The meaning and truth of poetry is a big topic, and it is ridiculous for amateur writers of our generation to talk about this topic. Talking about this topic requires serious and profound thinking, research and thinking about the history of poetry itself, and the poet himself should also have profound theoretical cultivation of poetry. ? Some people say that poetry is written for themselves, but I don't quite agree with it, but I'm not completely opposed to it-people are social people, so are poets, and poets will always be a part of society. No poet can write a beautiful chapter without divorced from reality. Water, sand and clouds are just a drop of water in the sea or stream, a grain of sand in the desert and a cloud in the sky. The poet is a society, himself and an individual. He has a unique life experience and has his own characteristics with the things in this society. A grain of sand is different in size and texture. All these can be expressed in a poet's poem-"A dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can reach for the stars, but you dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing people." As far as I know, this poem is purely a personal soul and an experience of real life. Its social value is not positive, and there is no objective embodiment here, but this does not affect its spread to future generations as an excellent poem. "Night gives me black eyes, and I use them to look for light." Pure and concise modern poetry, similar to the poem of truth, does not fully show its social value in this poem, but its enlightenment to the soul cannot be ignored. Comparing the two, who can clearly answer whether ancient poetry is excellent or modern poetry is excellent? No matter whether the poet is extremely lonely, has an extraordinary aura, or is far-sighted and looks forward to the future, he still belongs to this society and individuals in essence. The difference between ancient poetry and modern poetry in form is the most obvious and fundamental, especially in emphasizing the level and even the writing style. Paying attention to form, that is, stubbornly believing that writing poetry must be proficient in meter and completed in accordance with the prescribed format, is harmful and does more harm than good. Why modern poetry rises is a topic worthy of our consideration. Modern poetry creation is the mainstream of poetry creation in this era and even in the future, which can be seen from the proportion of poetry published on the Internet and traditional journals. On the other hand, if the mainstream position of ancient poetry is not restricted, I am afraid that the level of modern poetry has already surpassed that of ancient poetry. In detail, I think there is no difference between ancient poetry and modern poetry in time and history. Whether you like ancient poetry or master modern poetry is related to the author's personal hobbies and creative methods, and has nothing to do with the quality of the poem itself, or whether it exists or not, which has no conflict with the requirements of poetry creation (both metrical poetry and modern poetry need musical beauty, jumping, dialectics and a tangible life experience). ? Modern poetry sprouted in ancient China. Which of Qu Yuan's Poems, Huai Sha, Lisao, Oranges, Li Bai's Dream of Climbing Mount Tianmu, Drinking Difficult, Du Fu's Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage, and Chen Ziang's Youzhou Tower pays attention to meter again? Among them, both content and music rhythm are equally excellent. Does unlimited meter affect its status as a masterpiece through the ages? The reason is that the spiritual connotation conveyed by these poems has made them great. Why do we always turn a blind eye to this, and are complacent about the profoundness of China's ancient indium poems? Unfortunately, China's poetry, which was not restricted by form, declined directly after the Tang Dynasty, and it was not deepened and developed, which was inseparable from the banning of indium in politics and literati's thoughts at that time and their education. The long-term rule of metrical poetry in Indium, China, has severely restricted the development of modern poetry, so that the creation of free verse finally failed to form a climate, almost disappeared, and was restricted and stifled by the rules and regulations of ancient physique metrical poetry. In the Qing dynasty, it almost completely declined and could not see the afterglow of the sunset. In modern times, an ancient civilization, modern poetry actually needs to be introduced from abroad, which shows the depth of its harm. However, before 1934, who saw this? The real poetry creators in contemporary poetry circles have deeply realized this point. Of course, from another perspective, we can't deny that the creation of classical poetry is conducive to the development of classical poetry. Its strictness and style are indeed unmatched by other countries in the world, and it has become an unshakable and can only be looked up to. We can't deny its historical value and position, let alone its historical significance and social value subjectively, but we can't help but say that it is not the sorrow of poetry art, and it has at least delayed the development of modern poetry for one thousand years. The classical poems created by contemporary poets are almost ignored, either because of quality problems or because of the lack of excellent poems. It profoundly reflects the future development direction and irresistible historical trend of poetry. After all, poetry needs to be developed.
Second, expand the scope of knowledge:
1. Concept of classical poetry: Classical poetry is the general name of ancient Chinese poetry, which refers to 1840 China's poems before the Opium War. From the perspective of meter, ancient poetry can be divided into classical poetry and modern poetry. Taking the Tang Dynasty as the boundary, the previous poems were all ancient poems, and later, the ancient poems gradually declined and died out. Ancient poetry is also called ancient poetry or ancient style; Modern poetry is also called modern poetry. From the Book of Songs to Yu Xin in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they are all ancient poems, but the poems after the Tang Dynasty are not necessarily modern poems, but they are distinguished according to rhyme.
2. The concept of free verse: Free verse originated in Europe at the end of19th century and the beginning of 20th century. Its poetic structure is free, and there is no provision for paragraphs, lines and words. Language has a natural rhythm and no rhythm. This poetic style has also become popular in China since the May 4th Movement. Free verse, also called new verse, is relative to old verse. Free and flexible in chapter, step and rhyme, without strict and fixed restrictions and constraints like metrical poems.
