Modern poetry is a free and flexible form of poetry, which is usually not limited by traditional meter, rhythm and sentence length, and can express the poet's feelings and thoughts about life, emotion, nature and society. Modern poetry is characterized by free form, concise language, profound artistic conception and rich connotation, which can convey profound feelings and thoughts through unique expressions.
The theme and emotional expression of modern poetry are often subtle and obscure, which requires readers to understand the poet's intentions and emotions through images and metaphors. Modern poetry has no fixed form and language requirements. It can use different language forms such as daily language, written language and slang, as well as different typesetting methods such as crossing lines, branching and overlapping words to express the poet's unique creativity and personality style.
The history and development of modern poetry;
Modern poetry refers to poetry that has been widely popular in Europe and America since the beginning of the 20th century. It breaks through the rules and forms of traditional poetry and pursues the style of freedom, individuality, pluralism and innovation. The history of modern poetry can be traced back to the poetry movement in Europe and America in the early 20th century, including imagism, misty poetry, oral poetry and other different schools and styles.
In the development of modern poetry, influenced by modernism, postmodernism and other literary thoughts, different schools and styles of poetry have been formed. Among them, imagist poetry focuses on expressing emotions and thoughts through concrete images, and the representative poets are T.S. Eliot and D.H. Lawrence. Obscure poetry emphasizes the expression of personal experience and subjective feelings, as well as the breakthrough and innovation of traditional poetry forms. Representative poets are Ai Qing and Liang.
The origin of China's modern poetry can be traced back to the May 4th Movement, when intellectuals who advocated the New Culture Movement began to advocate vernacular Chinese and poetry and opposed old literature and poetry. The representative poets during the May 4th Movement were Hu Shi, Xu Zhimo and Guo Moruo. With the popularization of the New Culture Movement, modern poetry has gradually developed in China and formed its own characteristics and schools.
