Poetry, also known as poetry, is a literary genre with certain rhythm and rhythm. It can vividly express the author's rich emotions and reflect social life with highly concise language according to certain format and metrical requirements.
Poetry is the ancestor of literature and the root of art, and poetry is a literary genre that expounds the soul. Poets need to master mature artistic skills and express social life and human spiritual world with concise language, rich emotions and rich images according to certain requirements of syllables, tones and rhythms. Poetry has four functions: arousing, observing, gathering and telling.
Primitive people made simple and rhythmic cries while working, so as to forget the temporary pain and spirit brought by labor and coordinate their actions. Gradually, this simple and rhythmic cry has developed into a poem that imitates the voice of labor itself and expresses the feelings of workers themselves.
Primitive humans could not understand many natural phenomena, such as wind, rain, thunder and electricity, so they all attributed them to God. Primitive humans sang and danced to the gods out of awe, expressing people's expectations, good weather, abundant crops and so on. This is the origin of poetry.
Poetry is not only poetry, but also lyrical beauty, which is the common factor of all literary styles and artistic types. Therefore, poetry is a universal art, even beyond the boundaries of art.
