How to appreciate poetry

What are the ways to appreciate poetry?

? First, know the world and approach the author

Literature is an artistic reflection of life and poetry is no exception. Because the author's time and personal experience are different, his world outlook, outlook on life and values and artistic style will be different. Therefore, getting close to the author, understanding the author and understanding the writing background are conducive to grasping the ideological content of his works. This is called "praising his poems and reading his books" and "knowing his people" and "discussing his world".

Second, taste the language and feel the poetry.

If a poem is like a flower tree, then the words in the poem are branches and leaves, and the emotions in the poem are blooming flowers, that is to say, language is the carrier of poetry and poetry is the essence of language. If you don't appreciate the emotion in a poem, it's like swallowing a jujube without knowing its taste. Deliberating the emotion in poetry is like walking into the poet's heart, and the feeling of poetry should start from the taste of language.

Third, grasp the image and appreciate the paintings.

Poetry with pictures. Poetry is abstract and must be expressed by concrete images. Therefore, when reading poetry, we should grasp the concrete images and reproduce the pictures depicted in poetry in our minds with the help of rich imagination, so as to deepen our understanding of poetry.
