Verb (abbreviation of verb) 24 poems
Twenty-four Poems is a monograph on ancient poetry aesthetics and poetry theory centered on poetry "style". The so-called "twenty-four poems" is to subdivide the style of poetry into twenty-four categories.
If reading poetry is to understand the artistic conception of poetry, Twenty-four Poems is a model to interpret the artistic conception. Twenty-four Poems is not an ordinary work of poetry theory, but a beautiful channel connecting classical aesthetics with modern literature and art, and it is the energy source to activate poetry and thinking in the era of scientific and technological civilization.
