What is the boundary between modern poetry, ancient poetry and modern poetry?

First, ancient poetry is also called ancient poetry and ancient style. Classical poetry is ancient free poetry. There is no rule on how many sentences, words and rhymes there are in each poem. For the convenience of everyone, let's take the Tang Dynasty as the boundary. Poems before the Tang Dynasty are all ancient poems, including The Book of Songs, Songs of the South, Han Yuefu, San Cao, Tao Yuanming and so on. After the Tang Dynasty, poets also wrote many ancient poems, such as Fifty-nine Ancient Poems written by Li Bai. Generally speaking, the poems written by poets in the Tang Dynasty and beyond are all ancient poems. In other words, the words "Song", "Xing", "Yin", "Yin", "Nong", "Cao" and "Qu" in the title of the poem should all belong to classical poetry, such as Li Bai's Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream, Du Fu's Song of Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage and Bai Juyi's Pipa Line.

Secondly, modern poetry, also called modern poetry, is a metrical poem relative to ancient poetry. Modern poetry was formally formed in the early Tang Dynasty. It includes quatrains, rhymes and poems. Four quatrains * * *, each five-character sentence is called Five Elements, each seven-character sentence is called Seven Rhymes, and two or four sentences rhyme. The first sentence can rhyme or not, and there is no requirement for confrontation. There are * * * eight sentences, five words in each sentence are called five rhymes and seven words in each sentence are called seven rhymes. Even the sentences rhyme, and the first sentence may or may not rhyme. Every two lines of metrical poems are connected into a couplet, which is called the first couplet, the parallel couplet, the neck couplet and the tail couplet respectively, and the parallel couplet and the neck couplet must be opposite. Arrange more than ten sentences, like metrical poems. Except for the first and second pairs, the middle antitheses are all correct, and the rhyme is the same as metrical poems. Modern poetry should also pay attention to even and even words. There is a saying that "135 doesn't matter, 246 is clear." For example, we are familiar with Du Fu's "Guests Arrive", "One Night in a Foreign Country", "Pavilion Night" and "Climbing Yueyang Tower", all of which are very typical metrical poems.

Qi, Liang and Chen are the periods of the formation and development of new style poetry. The so-called new-style poetry, compared with the ancient-style poetry, is characterized by its emphasis on rhythm and duality. This new style poem was originally formed in the period of Qi Yong in the Southern Dynasty, so it is also called "Yongming Style", and its representative poet is Xie Tiao. The appearance of Yongming style marked a great progress in China's classical poetry, which injected a new breath into the poetry circle at that time and established a new aesthetic style. Their rich artistic experience also laid the foundation for the maturity of regular poetry and the prosperity of Tang poetry. New poetry is a form of transition from ancient poetry to formal poetry. The representative writers of new poetry are Xie Tiao and Shen Yue.

Third, the characteristics of new poetry.

First, the emphasis on melody and phonology has been quite elegant, mainly manifested in the fact that most people rhyme and rhyme very strictly. As for rhyme, many of them are close to the Tang Dynasty.

Second, the length of the poem has been greatly shortened, and the sentence patterns have gradually been finalized, mainly in five words and four sentences, five words and eight sentences, and some in five words and ten sentences.

Third, writing skills, pay attention to parallelism and antithesis, a large number of French sentences have appeared, and some allusions are naturally integrated into poetry.

Fourthly, get rid of the rigid atmosphere of Yuanjia style poetry in Liu and Song Dynasties and pursue the poetic style of circular beauty and easy to understand.

Fifth, emphasize the integrity of the beginning and end of the poem, emphasize the ingenious conception, pursue the artistic conception of the poem, and organically combine the scenery with lyric.
