First of all, lyricism is the fundamental artistic feature of poetry.
Novels, fables and fairy tales mainly reproduce life through characters or animals and storylines; Prose mainly reproduces life with the help of some characters, events and scenes; Drama mainly reproduces life through the contradictions and conflicts of characters, language and narration. Poetry, on the other hand, mainly reflects life through lyric. Therefore, lyricism is the language art of poetry. Some people call lyric the soul of poetry.
The lyricism of poetry means that poetry not only reflects life and expresses the author's thoughts and feelings in a lyrical way, but also touches and educates readers in a lyrical way. Guo Moruo once said: "Poetry is dedicated to lyricism." Lyricity constitutes the artistic life of poetry. Without lyricism, there is no poetry, because without lyricism, there is no basic value. China's earliest collection of poems, The Book of Songs, reflects people's life and feelings three thousand years ago.
Some people say that poetry is used to express feelings. We can't transcend time and space in the physical sense, but we can transcend time and space in the psychological sense, and this transcendence is accomplished through lyricism in poetry. Now we can't understand the sufferings of people in the war-torn society where Du Fu lived, but we can feel them through the lyrical feelings in Du Fu's "The Story of Climbing Yueyang Tower". Wang Wei's "Send Yuan Er to Anxi" skillfully conveys the author's thoughts and feelings of being reluctant to part with his friends and crying, and tells the joy when meeting, the helplessness when leaving, and the thoughts and feelings after leaving. Maybe it's no big deal that we modern people are separated now. We not only have convenient transportation, but also convenient contact. We can contact each other through a phone call, a text message and an email, and even see familiar faces through videos. However, the traffic was inconvenient at that time, so I don't know when to meet again this time, and I will leave.
"The foot of my bed is shining with such bright light. Is it frosty already? . Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. " This poem is one of Li Bai's homesick poems. He used twenty words to express his loneliness and homesickness in a foreign land. When we leave our hometown, we will also read this poem in the moonlight, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the artistic soul of poetry. A beautiful and moving poem has been passed down through the ages because it has attracted millions of readers, although some poems reflect content far away from us.
