First of all, we spontaneously group, make an activity plan, and determine what everyone should do. For example, Ma Xinyu and others collect modern poems in our group, while Ke and others collect ancient poems. When everything is ready, we begin to act. Everyone sorted out the collected materials according to the content, and sorted out the information about poetry introduction and poetry background on the Internet, which played a very important role in our understanding and appreciation of poetry. For example, Xu Huotong's "Royal Boat Farewell to Lang Gong" shows the author's reluctance to part with his friends through the collected information. The poet put his infinite thoughts on his friends into the bells and crows, and expressed his feelings incisively and vividly.
Through this activity, we also gained a lot of knowledge. We learned the origin of poetry, learned how to appreciate poetry, and tried to write poetry by ourselves. Among them, what benefited me a lot was the way to appreciate poetry. Take Wang Changling's The Fill as an example. By collecting the background information of this poem, I understand and appreciate it. With the help of information, I realized that this is a frontier poem lamenting the constant war on the border and the lack of good generals in the country. The first sentence of the poem is thought-provoking, lamenting the historical changes and uninterrupted fighting. The second sentence is about how many men died in battle and how many tragedies were left behind. In the third and fourth sentences, people have a common desire for thousands of years, hoping to have a "flying dragon" to calm the chaos and stabilize the border defense. Of course, there are many ways to appreciate poetry, which need to be summarized when we appreciate poetry at ordinary times. Trying to write poetry by myself also made me understand that writing poetry does not have to use gorgeous words, but to write what I see and my unique feelings.
After the activity, I further felt the enjoyment of beauty brought by China's poems, and also made me understand that reading a poem is not limited to reciting poems, but to understand the emotions contained in poems, master and appreciate the methods of poems, so as to truly understand a poem. Poetry also has a great beauty, which can make people relax. When you feel very tired, you might as well try, close your eyes and follow the poem into a picturesque world. That feeling is beyond your comprehension.
Although this activity is over, our passion for poetry has not disappeared. We should read more poems, savor beautiful fun and accompany us all our lives.
