What's the difference between prose and prose poetry?

First of all, early prose poetry is developed from poetry, a member of the category of poetry, and a style between poetry and prose. So some people say that it's not a horse, it's not a donkey, it's a mule, it's a bastard. Some people say that this style was introduced from the west during the May 4th Movement, not from abroad. In fact, as early as the pre-Qin period, China already had this style. For example, many fragments in Zhuangzi's "South China Classic" have the characteristics of prose poetry, and Qu Yuan's "Fisherman" is also prose poetry. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei's "In the Mountains and Pei Xiucai" is a prose poem, while Su Dongpo's "Night Tour in Chengtian Temple" in the Song Dynasty is a classical prose poem with diary style. But as a prose poem, Baudelaire, a European and French poet, published Melancholy in Paris, claiming to be a prose poem. Therefore, prose poetry is the product of the European romantic movement, which was born in the middle of the nineteenth century. Later, the French poet Beltram used prose poems extensively. The most famous Russian prose poet is Turgenev, who wrote The Road to Love. Gorky's Song of Haiyan is also a prose poem. In Asia, Tagore of India was the first to write prose poems and made great achievements. His poems such as Jitang Kerry, Crescent Moon and Birds are also prose poems. Ji Bolun is a famous Lebanese prose poet, who has published many kinds of prose poems, such as Laughter and Tears and Storm Collection. In China, Lu Xun was the most famous prose poet during the May 4th Movement, and his Wild Grass was a collection of prose poems. Bing Xin has written two collections of prose poems, Stars and Spring Water. Michelle, Geng, etc.

Secondly, prose poetry has been completely separated from poetry and has the characteristics of prose. One is that it doesn't rhyme, and of course it rhymes, which belongs to whether it can rhyme or not. This is different from poetry, which generally requires rhyme. The second is more moral and philosophical. The third is that the fragmentation trend is getting bigger and bigger, short and pithy. Therefore, when someone writes an article on literary theory, it is often classified as a kind of prose. But there are still obvious differences from prose.

Third, the difference between the two is that prose often pursues perfection and describes the process of things completely, while poetry and prose poetry take a little bit of a corner, replacing the face with points, and sketching the outline; Prose mostly adopts block structure, which is eloquent and elaborate, and each has its own disadvantages of being tedious. Prose poetry adopts the structure of jumping, flowing, agility and multi-paragraphs, which not only meets the requirements of concise language and ups and downs of rhythm, but also embodies the visual pleasure of architectural beauty. The artistic conception of prose poetry is poetic, paying attention to the artistic conception, soul and artistic conception of poetry. Another feature of prose poetry is that most of them pursue meaning and philosophy, and the language of prose poetry has the tension of one being ten, which is a compressed biscuit. In addition, most prose poems can be recited, such as Gorky's "Song of Haiyan", which has always been a must-have for reciting. The difference between poetry and prose poetry is that poetry is formatted. Classical poetry pays attention to five-character quatrains or five-character poems, seven-character quatrains or seven-character poems, and has strict requirements on the number of words or even words. And poetry, especially classical poetry, rhymes. According to the pronunciation of Chinese, it is divided into sixteen (new rhyme is fourteen) rhymes. When writing a poem, you should look for rhyme from the rhyme book, and the rhymes in different parts can't match. Prose poetry, on the other hand, has no such requirements, no restrictions on words or rhymes, and is a free and rambling style.

As for what is prose, what is poetry and what is prose poetry? I have summarized it in other articles. There are also introductions in Ci Hai and Ci Yuan. I don't have to waste my breath. You can see it through it.
