What's the difference between farewell to Cambridge and ancient farewell poems?

First, the words are different: "Farewell to Cambridge" is a modern poem in vernacular Chinese; Ancient parting poems are all written in classical Chinese.

Second, the genre is different: modern poetry is generally called free verse, and the word format is not limited; Ancient poetry has strict format and rhythm.

Third, the meaning is different: the poet Wen Yiduo advocated the beauty of music, painting and architecture in his modern poems in the 1920s, and the poem Biekangqiao can be said to be three beauties, which can be called the swan song of Xu Zhimo's poems. Ancient parting poems didn't mean this.
