Poetry advocate:
Crescent poets advocate new metrical poetry, advocate the aesthetic principle of "rational restraint of emotion" and the formalization of poetry, and make a useful attempt in poetry art. First, they created objective lyric poetry, that is, they changed the lyric way of "expressing their feelings directly" into the objective objectification of subjective feelings.
Then use imagination to pretend to be the outline of a vague image and turn subjective emotions into concrete images. This paper opposes the disorder and prosaic tendency of poetry, and makes a serious exploration of the metricalization of new poetry from theory to practice.
In the later period, the Crescent School put forward the principles of "health" and "dignity", adhered to the position of "pure poetry" which was super-utilitarian, self-expression and aristocratic, and emphasized "purity of essence, thoroughness of technique and rigor of meter". However, the artistic expression and lyricism of poetry are close to modernist schools.
Extended data:
The "three beauties" principle of crescent school;
The new poetry of the Crescent School advocates that Wen Yiduo put forward "three beauties", namely "the beauty of music, painting and architecture", which laid the theoretical foundation of the new metrical poetry school.
To a certain extent, it has overcome and corrected the shortcomings of rambling vernacular new poetry since the May 4th Movement, and made a unique contribution to the healthy development of modern new poetry in China. Specifically:
(1) "Musical beauty" emphasizes "scale, flat tone and rhyme"
(2) "Beauty of painting" emphasizes beautiful, vivid and colorful words; Every poem can form an independent picture.
(3) "Architectural beauty" emphasizes "symmetry of knots and unity of sentences". Its main purpose is to have beauty in the content and form of poetry.
