Modern Poetry
Modern poetry is also called "vernacular poetry". It can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty. It is a type of poetry. Compared with ancient poetry, although it is all about objects It is composed by others, but generally does not adhere to the format and rhythm.
Modern poetry is free in form, rich in meaning, and the management of images is more important than the use of rhetoric. Compared with ancient poetry, although they are all written to feel things and are reflections of the soul, they completely break through the ancient poetry. The characteristics of "gentle and honest, sad but not resentful" place more emphasis on free, open and straightforward statements and communication "between the sensible and the insensible".
The mainstream of modern poetry is free style new poetry. Free-style new poetry is a product of the "May 4th" New Culture Movement. The form uses vernacular, breaking the metrical constraints of old-style poetry. The content mainly reflects new life and expresses new ideas.

It mainly reflects social life by directly expressing the poet's thoughts and feelings, and does not require the description of complete storylines and characters. Such as love songs, odes, elegies, elegy, pastoral and satire.

Lyric poems also often narrate certain segments of life, but they cannot be extended and should be subject to the needs of lyricism.
