A brief introduction to poetry is as follows:
Poetry, also known as poetry, is a literary genre with certain rhythm and rhythm. It can vividly express the author's rich emotions and reflect social life with highly concise language according to certain format and metrical requirements.
Poetry is the ancestor of literature and the root of art, and it is a literary genre that expounds the soul. Poets need to master mature artistic skills and express social life and human spiritual world with concise language, rich emotions and rich images according to certain requirements of syllables, tones and rhythms.
Confucius believes that poetry has four functions: arousing, observing, gathering and telling. Lu Ji believes that "poetry is beautiful because of love." In ancient China, unhappy people were called poems and happy people were called songs. In addition, The Book of Songs is also the original name of China's ancient literary work The Book of Songs (The Book of Songs began in the Western Han Dynasty).
Our ancestors, primitive humans, could not understand many natural phenomena, such as wind, rain, thunder and electricity, so they all belonged to the gods. Primitive humans sang and danced to the gods out of awe, expressing people's expectations-good weather, abundant crops and so on. This is the origin of poetry.
It comes from religion and labor. Primitive people made simple and rhythmic cries while working, so as to forget the temporary pain and spirit brought by labor and coordinate their actions. Gradually, this simple and rhythmic cry has developed into a poem that imitates the voice of labor itself and expresses the feelings of workers themselves.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Poetry is verse, which occurs during labor; Fiction is prose, which happens from rest. " Therefore, we say that poetry is a universal art and the oldest literary style.
Poetry is the poet's anger and dissatisfaction because he doesn't agree with the realistic concept or secular concept. Whether it is Li Sao style, ancient poetry style, modern poetry or modern poetry, it is just a form of poetry. The most beautiful thing is to stand at the height of human history to flash the aura of poetry.
Poetry is not only poetry, but also lyrical beauty, which is the common factor of all literary styles and artistic types. Therefore, poetry is a universal art, even beyond the boundaries of art.
