19 17 In February, Hu Shi's eight vernacular poems were published in New Youth, Volume 2, No.6, which was the first batch of vernacular new poems in the China New Poetry Movement. The first collection of poems in vernacular Chinese is Hu Shi's Attempt Collection (1920). It is Guo Moruo's Goddess that presents a brand-new look in thought and art for the first time, which has made great contributions to the position of new poetry.
In the early days of new poetry, the main content was to abolish the formal constraints of old-style poetry, advocate vernacular Chinese into poetry, and express the poet's true feelings. Therefore, at that time, new poetry was also called "vernacular poetry", "vernacular rhyme" and "mandarin rhyme" (Qian's preface to the collection, Hu Shi's talk about new poetry and Kang's my opinion on the bottom of new poetry).
Extended data:
China's new poetry has a history of nearly a hundred years, and it stands out among the world's poems like a pine tree and a bamboo tree. The mainstream of new poetry is realism, while romanticism and modernism are hidden from time to time, complementing each other and making each other interesting.
