1, new poetry
In the development of China literature, poetry (including poetry, fu, ci, qu, etc. ) has made great achievements. However, in modern times, the creation of classical poetry has gradually become rigid, "platitudes" abound, and the tendency of "moaning without illness" is quite common, and the vocabulary used in classical poetry is seriously out of touch with modern spoken language.
All kinds of strict restrictions on the forms of classical poetry (including rules and regulations, sentence-to-sentence dialogues, and even and flat rhythms) have greatly restricted the ever-changing and increasingly complex social life of poetry and the expression of people's true thoughts and feelings. Therefore, the New Poetry Revolution became the first and most important part of the May 4th New Literature Movement.

First, before the appearance of new poetry, the meaning of ci fu, ancient customs, laws and rhymes since the Book of Songs was similar to that of "classical poetry". Second, it refers to the poetry works created by modern people in the form of classical poetry after the birth of new poetry, which mainly expresses the life and feelings of modern people. From 1950s to 1960s, people from all walks of life also wrote old-style poems.

Background 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).
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). The Goddess written by Guo Moruo (192 1) first took on a brand-new look in thought and art, and made great contributions to the establishment of new poetry.
In the process of its establishment and development, new poetry has been greatly influenced by foreign poetry. This has played a positive role in the formation of artistic methods of new poetry. On the basis of absorbing the beneficial nutrition of China's classical poems, folk songs and foreign poems, many poets explore the expression methods and artistic forms of new poems from various aspects.
Realism, romanticism, symbolism and other artistic thoughts have appeared, and various forms such as free verse, new metrical poem, sonnet, pedal poem and prose poem have appeared. The exploration of many poets and the creation of some excellent poets have gradually made new poetry mature and diversified. Since the May 4th Movement, new poetry has been the main body of China's modern poetry.
