New poetry is an important genre of modern Chinese poetry. Its emergence marks a major change in the form and content of poetry creation.
Specifically, the emergence of new poetry breaks the rhythm and form of traditional poetry, adopts a freer and more flexible way of creation, and emphasizes the inner spirit and individual expression of poetry. At the same time, the content of the new poems is also broader, covering many fields such as society, culture, and politics, reflecting the complexity and diversity of society at that time.
The emergence of new poetry is not only an important change in the history of Chinese poetry, but also an important part of modern Chinese culture. It had a profound impact on the development of modern Chinese literature and provided important reference and inspiration for later poetry creation. New poetry is also an important bridge for the exchange of Chinese modern culture and world culture, and has made important contributions to the advancement of Chinese modern culture to the world.
In the development process of Chinese literature, poetry (including poems, rhymes, lyrics, songs, etc.) has achieved high achievements. But in modern times, the creation of classical poetry has gradually become rigid, full of clichés and clichés, and the tendency to moan without reason is quite common. The vocabulary used in classical poetry is seriously out of touch with modern spoken language.
Its strict restrictions on form have caused great constraints on poetry's ability to express the ever-changing and increasingly complex social life and people's true thoughts and feelings. Therefore, the New Poetry Revolution became the first and most important component of the May Fourth New Literature Movement.
