The difference between modern poetry and classical poetry is not that the former is vernacular. China's modern poetry is different from the classical poetry tradition in the most basic language and aesthetic logic, which is a rebellion against the classical tradition.
This is not a childish rebellion, but a rational response to the great changes in history, society and culture in the past 200 years, and a cultural reply made by China people to the disintegration of the classical world and the birth of the modern world.
Poetry is a literary genre juxtaposed with novels, plays and essays. According to the requirements of certain syllables, tones and rhythms, it expresses social life and the spiritual world of characters with concise language, rich feelings and rich imagination, and is generally arranged in a dendritic form. ?
Modern poetry is characterized by high generality, vivid image, strong lyricism and musical harmony. That is, it can reflect life most succinctly, with strong emotional color, rich imagination, exquisite conception and musical language.
Modern poetry can be divided into lyric poetry, narrative poetry and philosophical poetry from the form of expression. Different categories naturally have different forms and styles, so the answers are different.
