Modern poetry, also known as "vernacular poetry", can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty, which is a kind of poetry. Compared with ancient poems, although they are all written for understanding things, they are generally informal in format and rhythm.
General characteristics
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 all feel things and reflect the soul, they completely break through the characteristics of ancient poetry, which are "gentle and sincere, with no complaints", and emphasize more on free and open, straightforward statements and intangible communication between reason and reason.
The mainstream of modern poetry is free verse. Free verse is the product of the May 4th New Culture Movement, which uses vernacular in form, breaking the shackles of old-style poetry, and mainly reflects new life and expresses new ideas in content.
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 Iliad and Odyssey.
Story poems, such as Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang by China poet Li Ji, and Monkey King by Mingzhe and Lacny; Poetic novels, such as Don Juan by English poet george gordon byron and yevgeni onegin by Russian poet Alexander Sergeyevich 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.
Metrical Poetry
It is a poem written in a certain format 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. And the four-character, six-character and eight-character fonts of metrical new poems. There may be more modern metrical new poems in the future.
