The origin of poetry
Poetry is a form of literature and art, its origin can be traced back to ancient times. Early poetry is usually handed down orally. They are used to recite gods, praise heroes, praise nature, and are full of national characteristics and cultural connotations.
The origin and development of China's ancient poems can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. For example, The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems. The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of China's poetry development, and many outstanding poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi were active in this period. After the Song Dynasty, poetry creation gradually tended to be rational and standardized, forming a variety of genres and styles, such as Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuan Qu and so on.
In addition to China, all parts of the world also have their own unique poetry culture. Greece, Rome, India and other countries have a long tradition of poetry, while modern western modernist poetry is committed to challenging the traditional language and form and promoting the development of poetry expression.
In contemporary times, poetry has become an important way for people to express their feelings, explore philosophy and reflect on society. Both classic ancient poems and contemporary modern poems bear people's thoughts and experiences on life, nature and culture, and are full of imagination, meticulous thinking, aesthetic feeling of language and emotional experience.
