Trifoliate set Guo Moruo, Zong Baihua and Tian Han published in 1920.5, which is a relatively complete and systematic romantic poetics and the foundation work of romantic poetics.
Guo: "The main component of poetry is' self-expression' in the end." "I think as long as our poetry is the pure expression of poetic poetry that the mind listens to, the strain (music) that the fountain of life does not flow out, the melody (melody) that pops up on the piano of the mind, the vibration of life and the cry of the spirit; That's true poetry, good poetry. "
Poetry = intuition+perception+imagination+appropriate words
Tian Han, poetry should be the poet's own blood, tears, autobiography and confession.
Poetry is the expression of the poet's "emotion"
Guo's poems are mainly lyrical. Lyrics are not in the form of poems, but also poems.
The rhythm of emotion and the color of emotion are poetry. Poetry itself is the expression of emotion. "
Zong Baihua's On New Poetry (1920.2) gave a clear definition to poetry at the earliest. Poetry is "written in a beautiful language-the language of rhythmic painting-to express people's feelings." The form of a poem is the structure of syllables and words in the poem, and the quality in the poem is the emotion that the poet feels. "
Poetry is a "free" expression of the poet's feelings.
(1) Without a purpose, Guo's "The Mission of the Literary Society" "Literature and art are like flowers and plants in spring, which is the expression of the artist's inner wisdom. Poets write a poem, musicians compose a song and painters draw a picture, which is the natural expression of their feelings, such as the microwave generated by the spring breeze blowing over the pool surface. It should be said that there is no so-called purpose. "
The so-called "aimlessness" only means that a poet can't have preconceived purposes before writing, such as serving social reality, writing for whom and praising for whom. This is the premise for poets to express themselves freely.
(2) Try to be "natural" rather than hard.
Guo "is just my own true feelings about poetry, and I always feel that my inner' natural expression' is superior." If it is artificial, it is just some gardening potted plants, so it has to be appreciated by the rich. " There is nothing in nature that does not appear naturally. "
"Poetry is not made, but written."
③ There is no restriction in form.
Guo "what others have become is just their own shackles. Formally, I advocate absolute freedom and absolute autonomy. "
④ Pay attention to "internal law"
Guo's Three Essays on Poetry "The spirit of poetry lies in its internal rhythm. The internal rhythm is not up and down, it is high or low, it is strong or weak, it is business feather; It is not a double rhyme, but a rhyme in a sentence. These are external rhythms or tangible laws. The inner rhythm is' the natural ups and downs of emotions'. "
