As we all know, modern poetry has three obvious and concrete elements, namely language, artistic conception and rhythm.
This shows how important language and artistic conception are to a modern poem.
If we want to appreciate the quality of a modern poem, these two factors are the first, essential and can't be ignored.
As we all know, language comes from life, but the language used in any genre of articles is not the language of life.
"Art comes from life and is higher than life", in fact, this means that the language of any literary genre comes from life, but it is also "necessarily higher than life."
First, let's read the poem Sparrow by the poet He three old ladies.
sparrow
The heavy snow fell under the mountain.
The house curled up in the snow.
There is smoke on the roof.
Sparrows are dressed as
autumn leave
Fall from a branch
All of a sudden.
Go back to the tree
In just a few words, the poet opened a beautiful picture for us with elegant language and artistic conception.
In these three simple poems, we can appreciate a beautiful artistic conception, which is a tangible artistic conception.
"White snow flowers, houses, white snow, cooking smoke", a few simple images, inadvertently, have been ups and downs in front of readers, but in fact they have created a particularly elegant artistic conception and atmosphere, which stems from the tranquility and holiness of nature, is fascinating and makes readers extrapolate.
And "falling from the branch/returning to the tree instantly" is actually a tangible and intangible artistic conception. In this intangible artistic conception, we see not only sparrows, leaves and trees, but also a broad vision and thoughts, with a lot of feelings and thoughts. Animals living and working optimistically in the cold is actually an encouragement and gratitude to human beings.
"Sparrows dress up as autumn leaves/fall from branches/return to trees in an instant", where we can also appreciate the elegance of the poet's sentences and narrative.
"The Sparrow Dresses as Autumn Leaves", with little embellishment, brings readers incomparable cleanliness and clarity.
"Falling from the branch/instantly returning to the tree", in the quiet picture, the peaks suddenly turn, and the lovely sparrows fly, leading the reader's sight wave by wave. Inadvertently, the quiet picture is moving, flying upwards and surpassing.
Short poems have also achieved great success. Here, we fully realize the great charm that language and artistic conception bring to works and readers.
Second, grasp the rhythm and rhythm.
Anyone who has been exposed to literature knows the meaning of rhythm.
In classical poetry, rhythm plays a very important role. If there is no rhythm, or the rhythm is incomplete, then classical poetry cannot be called poetry, and even the best poetry will lose its value.
After the New Culture Movement, in the early modern poetry, the poet grasped the rhythm very carefully and meticulously.
In early modern poetry, we can often read good works with ingenious rhythm and rhythm. These good works usually give us the feeling that reading is brisk, beautiful, cadence, or capable, atmospheric, mellow and long-lasting.
These excellent works of rhythm and rhythm are also excellent works of recitation. Then let's come back with the flavor of rhythm and rhythm to appreciate the excellent works of ancient philosophers and modern poets.
A Farewell to Cambridge (Excerpt) —— Author Xu Zhimo
I walked gently.
When I came softly
I waved my hand gently.
Farewell to the western clouds
Golden willow by the river.
Is the bride in the sunset?
Erotic shadows in the waves
Ripple in my heart
Green grass on soft mud
Oily, swaying at the bottom of the water
In Joubo, He Kang.
I would like to be an aquatic plant.
A pool in the shade of elm trees
Not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky.
Crushed by floating algae
Precipitate a rainbow-like dream
……
The whole poem consists of seven sections, four lines in each section, and two or three meals in each line. Eclectic, rigorous statutes, rhyming with two or four rhymes, cadence and catchy.
Beautiful Rhythm and Rhythm Under the grasp of the author, the narrative opened by the poet is like a beautiful ripple in a lake, cool and thorough, and gradually swings open in front of readers.
Gently back, it will taste better. Slowly open the beautiful and quiet images are "clouds, golden willows, sunset, bride ..." and "Walk gently, come gently", and the green picture of spring catches the reader's eye.
"In the gentle waves of He Kanghe/I would like to be an aquatic plant", ... is really warm and exciting, comfortable and light, gentle and wonderful, just like a soft song, echoing in our ears.
This is the idea of many poets. Modern poetry is not only a poem, but also a beautiful song.
Looking at the poet's works and tasting his perfect rhythm and artistic conception, we know how charming and intoxicating modern poetry is.
Today, decades later, modern poetry has climbed countless steps.
Today's modern poetry is completely free and full of individuality. They are atmospheric, unrestrained, introverted, open and carefree.
In other words, in today's modern poetry expression, many poets may have abandoned the rhythm that poetry should have, but the rhythm is still essential.
In a sense, rhythm actually represents a kind of momentum of the work, which can also be said to be a style. If the rhythm is mastered skillfully, it will become a poet's personality, and various styles may be born from it, forming a hundred schools of thought.
Third, fresh and smart.
As we all know, poetry is composed of every detail sentence. Fresh and smart here refers to the expression and structure of sentences.
There are many ways to form a sentence. In terms of expression, the average individual likes to organize the language with his usual methods and personality.
There are procrastination, conciseness, freshness, elegance, triviality and verbosity. The difference of poetry level and style comes from the difference of one's ability to organize language.
Freshness is actually just a feeling, a combination of freshness and liveliness.
If the combination of a sentence or the expression of a poem can do this, and give readers a refreshing and vivid silence, how can it not make readers like and move?
And agility means that the expression contains an invisible power and sense of movement, which makes old photos come alive, makes still images jump, makes dim colors bright, and even makes dead objects reborn again!
This shows how smart the role is, and also shows that smart "movement" is actually a silent force. Let's analyze it in detail with poetry.
The sun is on the river.
They climbed over walls and safety nets.
Turn over the closed glass and screen window.
Jump down gently
Wandering around the room
What a lively group of fish!
They are dressed in gold.
They are swimming in the cold air.
They are swimming on the white floor.
I watched quietly.
It seems that the cold time is back.
Like those happy fish, only.
Swimming in my warm heart
In this exquisite and short poem, we can appreciate the incomparable warmth and beautiful feeling brought by the literary genre of poetry, and deep poetry runs through it.
The biggest feature of this poem is freshness and agility, and there is also a strong sense of picture.
In the first section, "They climb over the wall, guard against theft/climb over the closed glass and screen window/gently jump down/wander in the room", here we see the author's fresh language, which is not trivial and complicated, and a series of verbs such as "turn over", "jump down" and "wander" are just right, from far to near, leading the reader's sight and sense, which is refreshing.
In the second quarter, there is a sense of beauty and movement. The sunshine in winter here is "weakened" into groups of lively fish. "They are dressed in gold/they are swimming in the cold air/they are swimming on the white floor." The sunshine is quiet, even with a sense of stillness. The author uses clever metaphors and narratives to make quiet things swim and quiet pictures jump, so he has to.
In the third section, the author skillfully sublimated the sense of movement, continued to stretch the sense of movement of the picture, and jumped up gently with clever sentences. "I watched quietly/as if the cold time were reviving/as if those happy fish were swimming around in my warm heart", hehe, the sun shone on everything and everyone's heart.
"As if those happy fish were swimming around in my warm heart", the warm sunshine turned into a group of goldfish and swam into a person's heart and the reader's heart warmly and enthusiastically. So gentle and warm, so gentle and delicate, how can this situation not make people happy!
