Some people say that modern poetry is difficult to surpass ancient poetry. Why?

The main problem is "ancient poetry". What are ancient poems? China's ancient poems refer to ancient poems, modern poems and epigrams. What is the fundamental difference between ancient poetry and modern poetry (modern poetry, lyrics)? Why does it make the subject feel that ancient poetry should have been swept into that pile of old paper? The biggest difference between ancient poetry and modern poetry lies in the language system. Poetry is the essence of language, a literary work that refines language and expresses feelings. Modern poetry is, and so is classical poetry. It's just that ancient poetry rhymes based on classical Chinese.

Compared with ordinary classical Chinese, it has a sense of rhythm and artistic conception. Therefore, people who play (without derogatory meaning) ancient poetry must first have a good foundation in classical Chinese. However, since modern times, great changes have taken place in the recording methods of vernacular Chinese and classical Chinese as the recording methods of ancient languages. Therefore, even if classical Chinese and Chinese characters used in Putonghua today share a font, modern people's thinking is not willing to think in classical Chinese.

Because China's traditional culture comes down in one continuous line, the characters have not changed, and various cultural images that have been inherent for thousands of years have not disappeared. As long as we study history, it is inevitable to face the classical Chinese that records our history for thousands of years. Moreover, the young age of classical Chinese education makes it not so difficult for us to understand classical Chinese.

After life and years have passed, those poems hidden in cultural history will eventually radiate light and attract some people's spiritual return. The passion for love, love, learning, creation and dissemination of traditional ancient poetry comes from this. Of course, this is only a part of people, and others go to other countries and choose to communicate in other languages, lamenting the vastness of world culture, which makes no difference. Only some people choose to wander, while those who like ancient poetry choose to return. Among them, there is no high or low, only like.
