The difference between modern poetry and ancient poetry

Poetry is a literary genre. Compared with other literary genres, it is characterized by lyricism, musicality and vivid language. It has formed many types in the long historical development. From the content, there are mainly lyric poems and narrative poems. In fact, it is difficult to distinguish and explain! From the form, there are Chu Ci, Han Yuefu Poetry, Classical Poetry, Metric Poetry, Ci, Qu, Prose Poetry, Free Poetry and so on. I think the forms of China's ancient and modern poems are mostly summarized in the above styles. Below, I will briefly introduce the development history of China's ancient poetry and modern poetry, as well as the characteristics and manifestations of various genres. (}a

First of all, let's learn about the development history of China's ancient poems, starting with: the ancient working people were in the historical stage of low productivity development. After long-term participation in productive labor and social struggle, they gradually formed keen observation and accumulated knowledge. So that they can carefully distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness between things and characters, discover the characteristics of things, and then express them through oral language or song and dance. But in the creation of this kind of literature, they can not only show their understanding of reality, love and hate, but also show their ability to describe things in simple language and reflect social reality with simple life pictures. This realistic writing method has to be classified as an important manifestation of "national style" and is also the starting point of China's literature and art, especially the realistic spirit of "hungry people sing about their food and laborers sing about their things" in folk songs has the greatest influence on later literature. It urges poets and writers to care about the fate of the country and the suffering of the people, and not to regard literature as something that lingers on the scene and eliminates leisure. Folk songs of past dynasties are its direct biography, and this spirit has been deeply reflected from Han and Wei Yuefu to modern folk songs. They have always been the sharpest fighting weapons in people's hands. Progressive literati in past dynasties advocated "Bi Xing" and "Ya" in their creation, which in essence advocated the realistic spirit of The Book of Songs. 17R[xx

In this respect, the source of poetry development, from Qin and Han Dynasties, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, has gradually developed and formed various forms of poetry expression, including Qu Yuan's Chu Ci, Yuefu Poetry in Han Dynasty, Yongming Style and Qiliang Palace Style in Southern and Northern Dynasties, and metrical poetry, Song Ci and Yuanqu in Tang Dynasty. All belong to the poetic literary genre developed in this period. \ 90

Chu Ci: The local color is strong, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the antithesis is skillful. Among them, a large number of works focus on the rise and fall of the country and the sufferings of the people. Qu Yuan inherited the four-character style of The Book of Songs, and at the same time reformed the folk songs of Chu State, creating a new poetic style with flexible sentence patterns and uneven levels. This sentence pattern is characterized by the extensive use of the word "xi". Li Sao, his masterpiece, uses the combination of realism and romanticism, and a lot of satirical writing techniques to reflect the changes and ugly phenomena at that time. Z[pfz

Classical poetry: also known as archaism, there is no requirement for leveling, and it should be called the predecessor of metrical poetry. In the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, everything from the Book of Songs to Geng Xin in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was ancient, so the Yongming style and the Qi Liang Palace style in the Southern and Northern Dynasties should also be summarized by ancient poems. Therefore, there is no certain standard for imitating ancient poetry. However, the ancient poems written by poets are consistent in one thing, that is, they are not bound by the rhythm of modern poetry. We can say that all poems that are not bound by the rhythm of modern poetry are ancient poems. G 1P

Metric poetry: there are fixed sentence rules, fixed requirements for levelness, and antithesis between sentences. In ancient China, the ancients distinguished Chinese characters by flat tones (flat tones and four tones in detail), and took sentences as sound steps, including two-tone steps and one-tone steps, such as flat tones in five-character poems, that is, two syllables and one monosyllable, flat tones alternate, so do seven-character poems, only in sentences.

Ci-Qu: A literary form closely related to music, and it also has its own tablet format. The so-called lyrics are composed according to the rhyme of the epigraph. Don't scribble. (Yu+

Due to different styles, the grammar of poetry is not exactly the same as that of prose poetry and free poetry. Rhyme is limited by the number of words and the rules of parallelism, which requires more freedom in grammar; Words are mainly composed of metrical sentences, and the grammar is similar to metrical poems. This grammatical freedom not only does not hinder readers' understanding, but sometimes it can increase the artistic effect to a certain extent. I think it is self-evident that the above representative ancient poems are similar in genre. mq & lt

Having finished the development history of ancient poetry, let's learn about modern poetry with me. First of all, I would like to ask readers, what is modern poetry? Poetry written in decades is called modern poetry. ! SNy5

I guess this answer is correct? However, I want to start with China's modern poetry revolution. Maxwell?'s magnetic flux unit is neutral.

Since the Ming Dynasty, China's poetic art has been in a period of decline and emptiness until around the middle of19th century (during the reign of Qing Daoxian). At that time, the country experienced the Opium War, which made Chinese people resentful, and the revolutionary rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, China was in dire straits. However, there was a split within the ruling class in the Qing Dynasty, and some more enlightened officials began to get in touch with foreign things and foreign literature. At that time, in order to resist the aggression of other countries' allies, the people of China borrowed foreign literature to resist the invaders, which triggered a literary trend. Gong Zizhen and Lin Zexu are both pioneers of this literary reform. I don't think the origin of China's modern poetry can cause much controversy from this period. uY! 2{ 1

Next, I will talk about the "Poetry Revolution" led by Liang Qichao, Xia Cengyou and Tan Sitong one or two years before and after the Reform Movement of 1898. At this point, I want to talk about a modern poet, Huang Zunxian. He wrote many so-called "new poems" at that time. In the Army: If you are a good man, you'd better die on the battlefield. Love's eyebrows spray nose, who can really escape? There is only one death, no waves, just die! My aunt held the sewing thread tightly and said I didn't want to fall in love. Wife holding a bun instead of a braid, finger edge: I'll come back to you after defeat, I want to fight! As soon as the halberd door was opened, thunder drummed, killing the thief God, the first king. The former enemy cried and beheaded the general, and it was even more itchy to hold the king's hand. Thousands of people, thousands of people, I keep going, in that direction! Go straight to the lion's den, what's the danger! Siege and attack Jincheng, who can spread Russia! Horse grinding horse shoulders: front and back! As far as this poem is concerned, it is not completely divorced from the old and new styles, but is still written in the form of allusions and sentences. However, a large number of exotic scenery and new ideas and cultures in his poems have opened up a vast field that has never been seen before in the history of poetry, and we have to admit that he has made indelible contributions to the development of modern poetry in China. Since then, with the rise of the revolutionary movement, literature has become a weapon of revolutionary struggle, and the progressive literary trend of thought has been further developed. Progressive writers in this period, such as Zhang, Qiu Jin and Liu Yazi. Most of them were brave words calling for fighting, and then the May 4th New Literature Movement with Hu Shi as the core figure, they strongly advocated vernacular literature. At this point, China's modern poetry began to take shape. Followed by the representative writers of modern poetry such as Lu Xun, Qian Zhongshu, Li Shutong, Zhu Ziqing, Bian and Xu Zhimo. None of their poems has a fixed format, but the artistic courage of such poems is no less than that of ancient poems. Formally, it can be divided into free verse and prose poetry, but these two forms are not easy to distinguish, so I won't introduce these two styles here. Under the content, it can be divided into lyric poetry and narrative poetry. Ia%3

In fact, the literary genre of poetry is formed by history. In the process of its formation and development, various literary genres have gradually formed their own relatively stable characteristics and laws in terms of expression, image building, structural arrangement and language use, which have become the basis of stylistic classification. Therefore, if we really want to distinguish between ancient poetry and modern poetry, I think we should first understand the social background of poetry. 40}"

Therefore, in the distinction between modern poetry and ancient poetry, all I can say is the difference in form. Most ancient poems have fixed formats and rules, while the format of modern poems has no specific format. But one thing is that the poems of each era recorded people's customs, feelings and aspirations at that time. They respectively recorded the ideological realm of the times in which it existed. To be clear, poems of different times are the artistic crystallization of that era. Here, I hope that China's poetic art will be more brilliant, and China's literary creation can keep up with the progress of the times while in by going up one flight of stairs.

In a word, there must be great differences in time and space between modern and ancient times. Times are different, society is progressing, and our poems are also updating.
