Writing poetry is not allowed in the college entrance examination, which has been very controversial in recent years.
But overall, poetry is indeed not suitable for entering the college entrance examination.
First, the poem is incomprehensible. There are many schools of modern poetry, such as postmodernism, hazy poetry, fauvism, howlerism, coquettishness, the third way, etc. It is difficult for the examiners to give accurate scores. If we judge according to the mediocrity of ancient poems, it will obviously be biased.
Second, the college entrance examination is not a poetry competition. It pays more attention to examining the candidates' humanistic qualities and critical thinking ability. Poetry expresses more of the soul and is not easy to reflect these. You must know that the imperial examinations in the past dynasties also included writing policy papers.
Thirdly, due to different perspectives on poetry understanding, it is easy for standard confusion and difficulty in evaluation to occur. Many graders do not have the ability to evaluate poetry. For example, good poetry is opposed to vernacular, but obscure words will definitely be difficult to understand. Also, some poems are written to a certain person, and only this person has the highest understanding.
