Children's Poetry: Characteristics of Children's Poetry

Rich imagination

Children are the most imaginative and associative. They always use their creative imagination to understand and explain everything in the world. In their imaginary poetic world, flowers will laugh, birds will sing, grass will jump and fish will say. Therefore, children's poetry must create a beautiful artistic conception that is in line with children's psychology and rich in imagination, show children's innocence and childlike interest, and let children expand their imagination and understand the theme of poetry in a wonderful and colorful world. This requires children's poetry to talk to children's hearts in the imaginary world. For example, Shao Yanxiang's children's poem Little: "On the south side of the cloud,/in that distant place,/a group of leaves say: We want to bloom like flowers. /A group of flowers said: We want to fly like birds. /A group of peacocks said: We should grow like trees. The beginning of the poem "Ye" and "Fluttershy" and "Kongshan" arouse young readers to move from reality to the imaginary "distant place", and complete the re-creation of beautiful images in imagination, and expand rich reverie. However, the poet's intention is not only here, but also to continue to spread the wings of imagination with the children and experience the poetic place from things and people. "Far away" is "Daijia Village", and "flowers, butterflies and peacocks have all become little girls". From the imaginary world to the reality, the beautiful image of a housewife needs further association and aesthetic enjoyment.

Conceive new ideas

The emotion expressed in children's poems is far less profound than that expressed in adult poems, which is determined by children's emotional characteristics. How to express interest in a not very broad emotional level and create a unique expression effect? This mainly depends on the novelty and ingenuity of creativity. This conception, which depends on the accumulation of life and children's imagination, largely determines the artistic level of children's poetry. For example, Ren Rongrong's "Daddy's Teacher" is not very creative in the emotional excavation of similar themes, but it is still a model of similar themes. The secret is that the author has created a novel and ingenious conception mode and achieved a unique expression effect. Another example is Lan Shu's "Insect Birds": "I put my mother's washed socks on the rope one by one,/the rope became a multi-legged bug,/and crawled around in the sun. /I put my sister's handkerchief on the rope one by one,/The rope turned into a flock of egrets,/Flying in the breeze, flying. " Bold imagination on the basis of life, relying on the ingenious conception of this imagination, makes the ordinary life phenomenon become a kind of children's magic and infinite beauty.

Language childlike interest

Poetry is the art of language. Profound thoughts and vivid images can only become poems if they are expressed in concise, vivid and vivid language. Children's poetry should provide excellent conditions for children to learn and master the language, so that children can learn the language in a beautiful language environment, enrich vocabulary, improve their ability to master and appreciate the language, and enjoy beauty at the same time. For example, in Liu Ruomin's Song of the Sea, the sea is sleeping: "The wind makes no noise,/the waves don't laugh. /Late at night,/the sea went to bed. /She is holding the bright moon,/She is carrying the stars. /That gentle tidal sound,/It's its sleeping snoring. " In a few words, the quiet and serene sea is presented to the readers, and the graceful gesture of the "mother" of the sea is vividly described with extremely accurate words such as "hug", "hug" and "hit" and anthropomorphic methods. Reciting such poems often can not only improve children's aesthetic ability, but also learn from them and improve children's ability to master and appreciate the language.

In the beautiful language of children's poetry, in addition to the accurate and appropriate tempering of words, the sound rhythm of poetry should be musical, that is, the rhyme of poetry should have aesthetic effect. Mr. Zhu Guangqian, an aesthetic expert, said: "The rhythm of sound is the most direct expression of emotion, and literary significance is the second." Artistic conception, which cannot be expressed by literary meaning, can often be expressed by sound rhythm. "("Selected Works of Zhu Guangqian's Aesthetic Literature Papers ")

The musicality of children's poetry is mainly manifested in rhyme and rhythm. Through the change of rhyme and the patchwork of sentence patterns, children of different ages are taken into account, and at the same time, the whole poem has a strong sense of music and rhythm, forming a neat aesthetic feeling. The younger the children, the more neat the rhyme of the children's poems they read. For example, "Little Bear Crossing the Bridge" (Jiang) for young children ends with the rhyme "Ao"; The distinct sense of rhythm in Wang An's "Di Li, Di Li" and Lu Bing's "Hole in the Chin" give people a sense of brightness when reading poems, which makes children feel beautiful when they are excited.

Beautiful artistic conception

The combination of emotion and image constitutes the artistic conception of poetry. Children's poetry should also deliberately create artistic conception, aiming at creating an artistic conception of childish beauty. People often say "scene blending", that is, the feelings of poetry should be attached to images. Only by expressing the true children's feelings implicitly through images, rather than shouting them out abstractly, can this kind of children's poetry have a childlike and beautiful artistic conception and impress children. For example, Liu Ruomin's Moon: "The moon in the sky is round and round,/shining like a jade plate in the sea. /A group of fish swam over,/The jade plate broke into two or three pieces. /The fish ran away in fear,/all the way to the rock. /Looking back,/The moon is still round. " In the static beauty of the moon shining on the sea, through the dynamic addition of fish's "escape" and "look", a group of small fish are shaped in ingenious ideas, which are both fairy tale and childlike.
