How to appreciate modern poetry?

First, about modern poetry, modern poetry is free in form and rich in connotation, and image management is more important than rhetoric application. Compared with ancient poetry, although they are all written for understanding things and reflecting the soul, they completely break through the characteristics of ancient poetry, such as "gentle and sincere, complaining and complaining", and put more emphasis on free and open, straightforward statements and communication between sensible and intangible. The mainstream of modern poetry is freestyle new poetry. Breaking the shackles of old-fashioned poetry, the content is mainly to reflect new life and express new ideas. Obscure poetry has existed since ancient times, but it is not contemporary. In fact, misty poetry is just an art form of poetry creation. The first characteristic of misty poetry is "not straightforward". "Obscurity" is a creative habit or thinking habit of poets. For readers, it increases the opportunities for interpretation and intervention. Second, the content that should be paid attention to when appreciating poetry has a strong artistic generalization. To appreciate poetry, we should start with concise and implicit language, grasp the deep meaning of key sentences, taste the emotions expressed in poetry, analyze various artistic expression means of poetry, grasp and deeply understand the artistic image created by poetry, and feel the beautiful artistic conception of poetry. Specifically, the appreciation of modern poetry should mainly start from the following aspects. 1. Poetic language is the basic material of all literary works. Poetry pays special attention to the use of language, because the shaping of artistic image, the creation of artistic conception and the transmission of emotion all depend on language. The language of poetry requires the simplest words to convey as much content as possible, which makes the language of poetry concise, implicit and jumping. Relatively speaking, modern poetry is written in vernacular Chinese, with few allusions, which is easier to grasp than old-style poetry literally. However, to correctly evaluate a poem, it is necessary to recite it repeatedly, try to figure it out, grasp the words full of the author's affection, and savor its profound meaning. 2. Imagery poetry reflects life and expresses feelings through artistic images. To appreciate poetry, we must accurately grasp the artistic images in poetry: some poems express their emotions by depicting concrete and vivid images; Some poems, although they do not depict specific images, can arouse readers' imagination; Some poems not only depict concrete images, but also express their thoughts and feelings ... To grasp the image of poetry, we must grasp the characteristics of the image. Some poems describe many images, so when appreciating them, we should combine many individual images and imagine them to construct the whole image. The images depicted in some poems are not real, but have metaphorical or symbolic connotations. To grasp the image of such works, we should combine the background of the times and the author's experience. Explore the connotation of images through imagination and association. In a word, understanding the image of poetry should be based on profound understanding and overall grasp, not superficial. 3. It is to understand the author's feelings from the image and artistic conception of poetry. The thoughts and feelings of some poems are reflected by metaphors and symbolic meanings. To understand the thoughts and feelings of this kind of poetry, we must first develop association and imagination, accurately grasp the connotation of poetic images, and thus deepen our understanding of feelings. Poetry always reflects the life of a certain era, and we can't ignore the characteristics of the times to understand the feelings of poetry. Because of the different ideals and interests, life experiences and times, poets will show different thoughts and feelings. To understand the feelings of poetry, we should also consider the categories, styles and genres of poetry. For example, realistic poetry and romantic poetry are different in emotional expression. The thoughts and feelings expressed in bold and graceful words are often different. 4. The artistic features of poetry mainly refer to lyrical means, allusion, conception and expression. When appreciating poetry, we should master the common expressive means and artistic skills of poetry, such as personification, metaphor, metonymy, exaggeration, metaphor and symbol. And dynamic writing, seeing the big from the small, combining the virtual with the real, contrasting and holding things to express the will. Third, the method of appreciating poetry 1. Grasping the eyes of poetry is the most expressive key word in poetry, which can open the artistic conception of poetry and make poetry shine. The tempering and setting of poetic eyes plays an important role in poetry creation. Poetry critics of past dynasties all appreciate poetry from this angle. 2. Analyze the image. Image is the product of the collision between the poet's subjective concept and the external objective image. They are a kind of language artistic image with specific significance produced by the poet through the selection, refining and reorganization of objective images in order to express his inner world. In poetry, poets should not only think and feel with images, but also express them with images. It is impossible for a poet to write them all in his poems. Therefore, poets often use "reality" to mean "emptiness" or "emptiness" to mean "reality". The emptiness in poetry is thoughts and feelings, and the reality in poetry is the image of scenery, which is an artistic law of poetry creation. Poetry will appear abstract if it only writes "emptiness". If you just write "reality", it will look lifeless and lifeless. 4. There are generally two ways for poets to express their emotions: one is to express their emotions directly in their works; The other is that poets often render scenery and contrast the atmosphere regardless of the political background, such as euphemistically expressing feelings with metaphors and allusions. 5. Knowing people and discussing the world, Meng Ziyun said: "Praise his poems and read his books, but I don't know who he is." This sentence means that if you want to understand his poems, you must know who he is and the era in which the author lives.
