First, the characteristics of political lyrics
Political lyrics directly express the poet's political beliefs and moral sentiments, and even use slogans instead of emotional expression. The theme of the poem is to publicize the feelings and actions of "continuing revolution", and the simple metaphor and the method of expressing ambition are widely used.
In this poetic style, the poet, as the spokesman of "class" or "people", expresses his comments and emotional reactions to contemporary important political events and ideological trends. In the form of poetry, it is a combination of strong revolutionary emotional catharsis and political narration, that is, "it is actually an abstract thought, an abstract concept, which is only expressed in visual language."

The Origin, Development and Basic Features of Political Lyrics;
1, origin and development
As a "poetic style" with clear ideas and artistic norms, political lyric poetry was formally put forward in the late 1950s and early 1960s. But in a broad sense, poems that pay attention to social life from the political level, express specific political events, and express general social political emotions through the side of life can all belong to the category of political lyric poetry.
Therefore, political lyric poems can be extended to ordinary poems in 1930s, inspirational poems during the Anti-Japanese War and political satirical poems in Kuomintang-controlled areas after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Because of their active participation in social and political life, these poems have an extended and turning relationship with contemporary political lyrics, and in fact become the artistic source of contemporary political lyrics.
2. The basic characteristics of China's contemporary political lyrics.
In China's contemporary political lyrics, "poets" will appear as spokesmen of "class" to express their comments and emotional reactions to important contemporary political events and social trends of thought. Generally speaking, this kind of comment and reaction can't have multiple perspectives and voices, because its spiritual "resources" come from the unified narrative of real history at that time.
