Liang Qichao's "Poetic Revolution" brought the word "revolution" into the field of poetry, which opened the source of China's poetic revolutionary discourse in the 20th century. Since then, the poetry revolution, the changes in the connotation and extension of revolutionary poetry, the achievements and limitations of revolutionary poetry can be found in Liang's poetry theory. In the process of putting forward, developing and summarizing the slogan of "revolution in poetry", social and political requirements directly enter poetry and override it, which restricts the exploration of poetry aesthetics. Re-examining the origin and vagrancy of the theory of "revolution in poetry" is of great reference significance to the development of poetry in the twentieth century and the academic research of poetry aesthetics, and is also helpful to clarify the contemporary chaotic theory of revolutionary poetry discourse.
With the continuous expansion of the extension of the word "revolution", the connotation of "revolutionary poetry" is also changing. Today's "revolutionary poems" mostly refer to the poems written by China to express his determination, praise his new life and look forward to the future in order to support the Party and socialism after the founding of the Production Party.
Many of these poems are familiar to us, such as "Sitting in Prison" and "Prison Song" in primary school textbooks; Meiling three chapters in junior high school and so on.
