What is modern poetry? Compared with quatrains and the like.

Modern poetry, also known as "vernacular poetry", is a kind of poetry. Compared with classical poetry, it is generally not restricted by format and rhythm. The discovery of modern poetry can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, some poems imported from the west began to be translated into vernacular Chinese, but these works were not very big, so little was known. 1953 used the name of modern poetry for the first time-it was established when Ji Xian founded the Modern Poetry Society. The main schools of modern poetry are Crescent School, kuya School and Misty School.

Divide according to expression

Divided into narrative poems and lyric poems. This is divided according to the expression of the content of the work.

ballad

There are relatively complete story lines and characters in poetry, which are usually expressed by the poet's passionate singing style. Epic, story poem and poetic novel all belong to this category. Ancient Greek Homer's epics such as Heriat and Odyssey; Story poems, such as Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang by China poet Li Ji; Don Juan by British poet Byron and yevgeni onegin by Russian poet Pushkin.

lyrics

Social life is mainly reflected by directly expressing the poet's thoughts and feelings, and it is not required to describe complete stories and characters. Such as love songs, carols, elegies, elegies, pastoral songs, satirical poems, etc. Narration and lyricism are not absolutely separated. Narrative poetry is also lyrical, but its lyricism requires close combination with narrative. Lyric poems often describe some fragments of life, but they can't be spread out, and they must obey the needs of lyricism.

Edit this paragraph according to the rhythm and structure of the language.

It can be divided into metrical poetry, free verse, prose poetry and rhyme poetry, which are classified according to the phonological rhythm and structural form of the language of the work. Metric poems are poems written according to certain formats and rules. It has strict rules on the number of lines, the number of words (or syllables), the tone and rhyme, the antithesis of words and the arrangement of sentence patterns. For example, China's ancient poems, quatrains, words and songs, and European sonnets.

Free verse

It is a newly developed poetic style in modern Europe and America. It is not limited by metrical rules, has no fixed format, pays attention to natural and internal rhythm, and uses rhymes roughly similar or without rhymes. The number of words, lines, sentence patterns and tones are relatively free, and the language is relatively popular. Whitman, an American poet (1819-1892), is the founder of European and American free verse, and Leaves of Grass is his main collection of poems. This poetic style has also become popular in China since the May 4th Movement.

Poetry in prose

It is a literary genre with the characteristics of both prose and poetry. There are poetic artistic conception and passion in the works, which are often full of philosophy, paying attention to the rhythm of nature and the beauty of music. The length is short, like prose, and it does not rhyme, such as Lu Xun's Weeds.

rhyme

Rhyme belongs to a literary genre. As the name implies, it generally means that the end of each line of poetry must rhyme, and the poem reads like a ballad. Rhyme here refers to modern rhyme, which belongs to a new style of poetry, similar to the popular rhyme of Fang on the Internet. Debuted after 2000.
