What are the advantages of using metaphor in modern poetry?

First, ponder the artistic conception.

Artistic conception is a picture created by the author in poetry, which embodies the author's unique feelings and is the cornerstone of readers' aesthetic taste. It is a better way to grasp the artistic conception from the image. For example, Hu Shi wrote in his new poem "Pigeons": Clouds are light and the sky is high, the late autumn wind is sunny/there are a group of pigeons playing in the air/watching them come and go in twos and threes/turning around. There are pigeons flying in the blue sky, which is a beautiful scenery. The author grasps the dynamic of pigeons flying, which makes this poem have extremely bright color beauty, quiet and beautiful artistic conception, and gives people aesthetic pleasure after reading it.

Second, grasp the emotions.

Poetry is a lyric art, and emotions and feelings are the basis of poetry. Compared with other styles, poetry can fully express the poet's character and feelings. For a long time, people often express their feelings and thoughts with the national spiritual connotation expressed in poetry-profound thoughts, simple quality, generous embrace, natural taste, graceful feelings, upright character, upright style and rich spirit. Transform and improve people's spiritual realm and purify people's soul. Reading a poem, we grasp the thoughts and feelings of the poem, and also grasp the soul and lifeline of the poem. For example, the poem "Ideal" is a philosophical poem. In this poem, the author points out the characteristics and connotation of ideal and its great significance to life, history and society, and calls on people to set up lofty ideals, spur and set out, and work hard for them. The great cause of socialist modernization. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be realized in our hands. The party and the people earnestly expect us to be ambitious, give full play to our intelligence and wisdom, show the value of life, and strive to create achievements worthy of the times and the people on the broad stage of reform, opening up and modernization. This is exactly the strong thoughts and feelings expressed by the author in this poem, and it is also what the author eagerly expects. Every reader will be infected by passion and enthusiasm after reading it.

Third, appreciate skills.

After years of tempering, the forms and techniques of expression of poetry have made everyone feel that they are the most convenient, skilled and handy in practice and can be used at will. They left us many excellent poems of quality and beauty, and vividly displayed their talents. These exquisite poems are embodied in the form of poetry, including its language and its essence. More importantly, the perfect forms of expression and proper techniques of expression in poetry are all models for people to learn. The commonly used expressive techniques in poetry creation include associative imagination, allusions, rendering and contrast, implied ellipsis, rhetorical devices and so on. Rhetorical devices widely used in poetry include metaphor, symbol, parallelism, personification and exaggeration. For example, the famous poet Shao Yanxiang's poem To the Air, with bold association, strange imagination and symbolic techniques, takes the air that people are used to as the object of praise and grasps its characteristics of "everywhere" and "hard to find traces". In the natural phenomenon of eulogizing the inseparable air at this moment, the poet's praise for friendship and true feelings is conveyed. Consciously understanding and absorbing the writing techniques in excellent poems can improve the level of appreciation on the one hand, and on the other hand.

Taste language.

Poetry is the art of language, and the language in poetry is the result of the poet's efforts. "Two sentences for three years, one sentence and two tears to sing." "Sing a word, break a few stems" and so on all illustrate this truth. The language of poetry is philosophical, implicit and meaningful, concise and profound, vivid and fluent, vivid and full of emotion, often with one meaning and one meaning. In the study of poetry, we should pay attention to the taste of language. For example, the famous poet Gu Cheng wrote in A Generation: The night gave me black eyes/I used them to look for light. There are only two sentences in the whole poem, which are brief but alert to the world, indicating the aspirations of the author and the people of the whole era: the yearning for light, freedom and personal value. The language is implicit and meaningful. The meaning is profound. Bing Xin wrote in "Spring March 3": the flowers in the corner/the time when a person enjoys himself/the world becomes smaller. This philosophical poem tells us to broaden our horizons and not just admire ourselves. The meaning of narcissism is: metaphor for self-esteem and self-appreciation. Obviously, the author here uses personification to vividly write the shape of flowers in the corner, which can be properly and vividly expressed. If you understand the wonderful use of language in poetry, you will not only know how poetry is written, but also how it is written and why it is written, so that you can grasp and appreciate poetry from a higher level.
