What are the three schools of China's new poetry?

There are three important schools of poetry in the history of China's new poetry development: liberalism, symbolism and metrical school.

1. Symbolism: In terms of subject matter, it shows the decadent thoughts and feelings of some intellectuals at the end of the century and their pursuit of morbid "fanaticism of mind and function"; It emphasizes conveying the subtle world of the poet's heart by means of suggestion, contrast and association. Such as: Li Jinfa's Light Rain.

2. Liberalism: New poetry is full of emotion and imagination, which has the effect of flying and overcomes the shortcomings of early vernacular poetry, such as mud, triviality and ignoring the inherent characteristics of poetry. Such as: Guo Moruo's "Women Back to God".

3. Metric school: While advocating the rhythm of modern poetry, it emphasizes the use of poetic language and vocabulary in poetry creation to reflect the artistic conception of literary beauty. Such as: Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge.
