First, the concept of new metrical poetry
"New Metric Poetry" is a kind of poetry advocated by Crescent Poetry School in the 1920s. It advocates the aesthetic principle of "rational control of emotions" and advocates meter.
Its theoretical core is Wen Yiduo's "three beauties", namely, the beauty of music, color and architecture. His theory and creation had a great influence on the development of China's new poetry, and formed a school called "New Metric Poetry School".
Second, the historical origin
The so-called new metrical poetry is a form of China's modern new poetry. Also known as modern metrical poetry. It is a kind of metrical verse which is different from free verse, but different from traditional verse and has no fixed meter. As early as the May 4th literary revolution, Liu Bannong advocated destroying old rhymes, recreating new rhymes and increasing poetic styles.
Later, Lu Zhiwei put forward the view that "rhythm is absolutely essential and rhyme is not a terrible evil". 1926, Wen Yiduo, in his article "Metric Poems", systematically expressed his specific proposition of establishing new metrical poems, demanding "symmetrical sections and uniform sentences" and rhyming.
The number of "feet" (also called feet, free translation of English feet) in each line of poetry should be equal, and syllable harmony can produce neat poems. After such advocacy, metrical poetry has become a genre in new poetry. In 1950s, Lin Geng put forward the idea of building nine-character poems.
The Introduction and Principles of Crescent School
First, the new moon school profile
1923, Hu Shi, Xu Zhimo, Wen Yiduo, Liang Shiqiu, Chen Yuan and others initiated the establishment of the Crescent Society. At first, it was a club-like group, but later, because it advocated modern rules and regulations, it became an influential society in poetry.
Therefore, the new metrical poetry school gradually formed. Because the new metrical poetry school originated from the crescent society, it is also called the crescent school.
1925, when Wen Yiduo returned to China, Xu Zhimo edited the Morning Post Supplement, and 1926 April/0/day founded the Poetry Journal, which united a large number of new poets of the later "new metrical poetry school".
