By correctly grasping the theme of poetry, ancient poets expressed their feelings in their poems, expounded their philosophy of life, contained beautiful feelings, or summarized society, life and history. These are the themes that we should ponder deeply. Some poems are implicit, while others are straightforward. It is very important to master some methods to summarize the theme of poetry, which can help students cut into poetry more quickly, accurately and comprehensively, grasp the theme and make it clear. Understand the theme with the help of the title of the poem. The title of a poem is often the core of the poem, or summarizes its main content, or hints at its emotional tone, or shows its stylistic characteristics, which can help us understand the theme of the poem and the author's feelings. Pay attention to the preface and understand the main idea.
Generally, the preface is before the poem, the note is after the poem, and sometimes it is cleverly arranged in the stem. Some of them explain the creation time, some explain the creation reason, some explain the creation process, some explain the creation background and the poet's experience, and some lay the emotional tone for the whole work and help to understand the ideological content of the work. With the help of keywords, also known as "eye in the sentence", grasp the emotional tone of poetry. "Eye in the sentence" refers to the ability to make a poem (word) vivid, or even "live". Keywords can best reflect the feelings of the author and the artistic conception of the work, generally verbs and adjectives. If you catch them, you catch the whole article. With the help of key sentences, also known as "eyes in the article", the theme is revealed.
