Is it out of date to learn ancient poetry?

Whether it is outdated or not depends on that aspect. On the one hand, it is really out of date, because today is no longer the era of Confucius, and we don't have to say some unfamiliar classical Chinese as a symbol of scholars. This may also be the original intention of Hu Shi and Lu Xun to advocate vernacular Chinese, so that literature can be completely combined with real life and ordinary people. On the other hand, ancient poetry will never be out of date. As a literary form, ancient poetry has also experienced a long period of development and maturity. Moreover, the significance of ancient poetry lies not only in its literary form, but also in its own charm. But when we read those ancient poems, we can have a deeper understanding of the style of the dynasty at that time, which is not found in history textbooks. Concise words, cadence, regular antithesis rhythm ... all these can make readers have a * * * sound! In this respect, ancient poetry will never be out of date! I think this is also our pride as a Chinese descendant with a history of 5,000 years of civilization! It is a symbol of a great country!
