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.
language
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, which is easier to grasp literally than old-style poetry. 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.
picture
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 depict many images, so when appreciating them, we should combine many individual images to imagine and construct a whole image. The images depicted in some poems are not real, but have metaphorical or symbolic connotations. We can't understand the image of this kind of works literally, but we should combine the background of the times and the author's experience to explore the connotation of the image through imagination and association. In a word, understanding the image of poetry should be based on profound understanding and overall grasp, rather than superficial.
mood
Poetry usually expresses feelings and wishes, and we must deeply understand the emotional connotation of poetry when we appreciate it. Specifically, 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 expand 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 the characteristics of the times cannot be ignored in understanding the feelings of poetry. Works with the same theme will show different thoughts and feelings because of the poet's ideals and interests, life experiences and different times.
To understand the feelings of poetry, we should also consider the categories, styles and genres of poetry. For example, there are differences in emotional expression between realistic poetry and romantic poetry, and the thoughts and feelings expressed by bold and graceful words are often different.
Artistic feature
The artistic features of poetry mainly refer to lyrical means, allusion, conception and expression. To appreciate poetry, we should master the common means of expression and artistic skills of poetry, such as personification, metaphor, metonymy, exaggeration, contrast, symbol, etc., as well as writing static with movement, seeing the big with smallness, combining reality with reality, setting things off and expressing will.
Appreciation pays attention to poetry.
The eyes of a poem are the most expressive keywords in the poem, which can open up the artistic conception of the poem and also make the poem shine. The tempering and setting of poetic eyes play an important role in poetry creation, and all poetry critics in ancient and modern times appreciate poetry from this point.
image analysis
Image is the product of the collision between the poet's subjective concept and the external objective image, and it is a kind of language artistic image with specific significance that the poet produces to express his inner world by selecting, refining and reorganizing the objective image. In poetry, poets should not only think and feel with images, but also express them with images.
Distinguish between "virtual" and "real"
Social life is infinitely vast, and it is impossible for a poet to write everything in his poems. Therefore, poets often use "reality" to mean "emptiness" or "emptiness" to mean "reality". It is the artistic law of poetry creation that the virtual and the real coexist and set each other off into interest. The "emptiness" in poetry is thoughts and feelings, and the "reality" in poetry is the image of scenery. If poetry only writes "empty", it will appear abstract and empty, without poetry; If you just write "truth", it will look lifeless and lifeless.
Discussion skills
There are generally two ways for poets to express their feelings: one is to express their feelings directly in their works; The other is that poets often ignore political background in order to render scenery and contrast atmosphere, such as euphemistically expressing their feelings with metaphors and allusions.
