First, it is difficult for poetry to have a fixed standard.
Poetry is free in form and expression. When we read poetry, especially modern poetry, we usually have a feeling that poetry is highly flexible in wording and sentence making, leaping in ideological expression, and sometimes slightly obscure. We know every word after reading it, but we can't understand it. In other words, unlike other literary genres, which need unambiguous expression, poetry allows the author to blur and obscure the meaning of the text, and even this ambiguity and ambiguity is the greatest charm of poetry.
Then the question is, the college entrance examination is a kind of talent selection method with elimination nature, and holding the same marking standard for all candidates is an important guarantee for this way to play its role. However, the freedom of poetry itself makes it difficult for critics to judge the quality of poetry. After all, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and the reviewers may not understand or agree with the meaning of the poems written by the candidates. Argumentative writing is a different style, and it is easy to judge whether the argument is sufficient, whether the argument is rigorous, whether the ideological extension is profound and whether the logic is rigorous. Therefore, in order to ensure the fairness and operability of the college entrance examination, we must put an end to poetry genre.
Second, poetry is difficult to examine the candidates' writing skills.
The Chinese test mainly examines the ability of candidates to express their thoughts in words. Poetry, because of its short space and limited words, is usually one or two hundred words enough to become a poem, so it is difficult to judge the level of candidates' choice of words, sentence making and layout from between the lines. In addition, studies and exams will eventually be linked to real life. We learn Chinese in order to skillfully use words in our work and life to achieve the purpose of communication, exchange and information transmission, and the role of poetry is obviously far from these basic purposes. Therefore, poetry writing is not an inevitable requirement of Chinese learning, so it cannot enter the examination scope.
