1。 During the gestation period-May 4th to 1925, the explorers were poets such as Guo Moruo, Liu Bannong, Liu Dabai and Zong Baihua.
2。 During the construction period-1926-1931Wen Yiduo published metrical poetry, which was called the cornerstone of the theory of new metrical poetry by later generations, and clearly put forward that new poetry should have the beauty of music, painting and architecture. Due to the strong admiration and hard practice of crescent poets such as Wen Yiduo, Xu Zhimo, Zhu Xiang, Chen, Rao Mengkan, Sun Dayu and Liu, the creation and research of new metrical poems once flourished.
3。 Incubation period-1932 to 1976. Although the climax of new metrical poems has passed, there are still many poets such as He Qifang, Bian, Lin Geng, Yuan Shuipai, Yuan Kejia, Cang Kejia, Wang Yaping, Zou Jiang, Lu Li, Ruan, Lvyuan, Tu An and Gong Mu who insist on writing new metrical poems.
4。 In the new period-after1976, the relaxed political environment and the national policy of reform and opening up have strongly promoted the historical revival of the creation and research of new metrical poems. 1980,65438+10, Poetry magazine published Lin Zi's sonnets. Later, Huacheng and other publishing houses published new metrical poems, such as King Hailing and Fantasia by Tang Kun, For Him by Lin Zi and Sonnets by Tu An.

Since the beginning of the new century, with the emergence of online communication platform and the timely birth of publishing positions such as World Chinese Poetry, Poetry and Music, Metric New Poetry and Oriental Poetry Style, Shen Yongda, Sun Zeming, Wang Duancheng, Xiao Qu, Joe, Song Yu and so on have emerged.

About the origin of the name "metrical new poetry": The name "metrical new poetry" was born in the 1980s at the latest. The fourth issue of Journal of Jiangxi Normal University (1985) sorted out Chen's paper The Development Prospect of Metric New Poetry, and the fifth issue of Literary Contention (1992) also sorted out Sun Dayu's Metric New Poetry. For some reason, this poetic style was not widely concerned at that time, so that it was not well-known in the poetic world. In 2005, Wan Longsheng went to Hefei to attend a poetry meeting held by "Classical New Poetry Garden" (predecessor of "Oriental Poetry Style"). At the poetry meeting, he suggested that the names of "new metrical poems" and "modern metrical poems" were not accurate enough and easily confused with the old physical metrical poems written by contemporary people, so he suggested adopting the name of "new metrical poems". In this regard, the "Oriental Poetry Style" forum took the lead in responding and was recognized by the members of "China Metric New Poetry Network". However, this suggestion has not become a common knowledge in the field of new metrical poetry. The names of "new metrical poems" and "modern metrical poems" are still active in traditional and online poetry circles, and new poetic names such as "metrical new poems" have been born. For a time, the names of various poetic styles were colorful and particularly lively, but all of them took a "metrical poem" by Mr. Wang as the theoretical cornerstone.
There are three basic forms of metrical new poetry: neat symmetry, staggered symmetry and compound symmetry. Among them, the neat symmetry type includes three basic forms: reciting neatness (all reciting sentences with two suffixes), reciting neatness (all reciting sentences with three suffixes) and mixed reciting neatness (reciting sentences and reciting sentences mixed); There are four basic forms of staggered symmetry: open staggered (sentences are short before long), contracted staggered (sentences are long before short), convex staggered (sentences are short at the beginning and short in the middle) and concave staggered (sentences are long at the end and short in the middle); There are three basic forms of complex symmetry: step-changing and orderly complex (all of them are orderly, only changing the number of steps), variant staggered complex (staggered complex of four kinds of poems) and orderly staggered complex (orderly staggered complex). According to the above three basic forms, I can create infinite concrete forms, that is, the whole of a poem.
On June 20-265,438 438+ 10/October 0, 2007, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the publication of the classic book "Metric Poetry" by Mr. Wen Yiduo, the father of metrical new poetry, the "Symposium on Metric New Poetry and the Theory of Metric New Poetry" was co-sponsored by China Poetics Research Center of Southwest University, China Modern Metric Poetry Society and China Modern Literature Discipline of Changshu Institute of Technology. At the end of 2008, Yu Xiaoqu, Li Changkong, Zhang Xianfeng and Liu Congmei, editorial board members of Metric New Poetry magazine, initiated the establishment of China Metric New Poetry Creation Research Association. In just two months, the number of founding members has grown to more than 60, which indicates her great future.
On April 25th, 20 1 1, Wan Longsheng led some key members of the "Oriental Poetic Style" forum to Chizhou, Anhui Province, and co-sponsored the seminar of China Metric New Poetry with the Chinese Department of Chizhou College and Anhui College of Literature. There are many famous poets, writers, poetics theorists and professors attending this conference, which has a broad vision, rich contents and heavy achievements, and will certainly have an important impact on the development of China's metrical new poetry construction in the future.
