It is understandable to regard poetry as art, but poetry should be regarded as culture. Now the development of poetry gives me the feeling that poetry is marginalized, which is why fewer people read poetry than write it. Poetry has become a game for a few people, and it is difficult and unwilling for the public to participate. In addition to people's pursuit of immediate interests, material enjoyment and impetuous thinking, the main reason is that the development of poetry has reached a dead end. Poetry only works in circles and enjoys itself. This is not the specialization of poetry, but the commercialization.
In the content of poetry, poetry has become the leisure of a few people and the elegance of insiders. Poetry lacks a sense of social responsibility and influence on society, divorced from the public, and has become an unnecessary tool of public opinion in society.
There are two tendencies in the expression of poetry. First, the public can't understand it, don't know what it means after reading it, and can't remember a word. Seeing flowers in the fog is meaningless. First, let the public understand, but after reading it, it is difficult to remember a word. It's just that some people feel like reading a novel and vaguely remember some plots. The former is hazy and unconscious and needs retranslation, but it is different from China's ancient poems; The latter is too vernacular, which makes the poetic style lack of self-reliance and assimilated by vernacular stories.
Poetic confusion abandoned the social soil as a cultural development and became a castle in the air; Give up the power of poetry to educate and guide the masses, and give up the power to improve the artistic quality of the masses; Give up the social responsibility of poetry and become an entertainment tool for a few people.
The form of poetry must break the stylization of poetry in form, that is, "eight-part essay" "Eight-part essay" should be regarded as a good style in the early days of its birth, and many good articles have been created. But later, people only praised this style, and any article belongs to this writing mode, so it is difficult to write a good article. In particular, the constraints of this model on people's thinking, learning, practice, writing and trying must be followed and cannot be crossed. Its root mainly comes from the authority of feudal rule, but it also has authority in academics, which is the sorrow of scholars. As the authoritative organization, authoritative publication and authoritative person of poetry creation, we must also advocate letting a hundred flowers blossom, hoping that more good new poetry forms will be born and open up broader prospects for the development of poetry. This requires the authority of poetry and the simple and open guidance of the people to spread poetry in deeper soil.
As the basic elements of poetry, the structure of poetry should have three aspects, namely, the artistic conception, emotion and aesthetic feeling of poetry. The artistic conception of poetry is the content and responsibility of poetry. The emotion of a poem is its appeal, influence, desire to express, social recognition, loudness and shock. The aesthetic feeling of poetry refers to the expression, language and structure of poetry.
Poetry should emphasize aesthetic feeling in content, that is, the purity of poetry. The content of the reaction must be concerned and yearned for by the public, with a certain spiritual realm, elegant and refined, pleasing to the eye, nourishing nature and never vulgar. The overall aesthetic feeling of poetry is embodied in the unity of content and form, and the ideological nature is embodied in the blending of reason and reason, which is by no means a political sermon or a sigh out of nothing. Through effective art forms, form and spirit are combined to achieve vivid, true, sincere, harmonious and comprehensive aesthetic feeling.
The responsibility beauty of poetry should be the beauty of society, reflecting social conditions, praising truth, goodness and beauty, lashing darkness and ugliness, exposing hypocrisy, showing the true meaning of the world, inspiring the true feelings of the world and guiding the harmonious development of society. This is also the ideological nature of poetry, which makes poetry beautiful.
The emotional beauty of poetry means that poetry should be pure, kind and natural to express and express feelings, not only to express one's true feelings, but also to express feelings that others want to express but have not, thus giving people full passion and spiritual encouragement. The emotional beauty of poetry lies in lyricism, that is, the use of real writing and virtual realism, the washing and sublimation of subjective and objective things, and the organic combination of image connotation and emotional connotation, which makes emotion pour between the lines and poetry full of emotional power.
The linguistic beauty of poetry means that poetry must have poetic language. Through perceptual language, people's thoughts, philosophies and souls are vividly displayed on paper, which is different from other stylistic expressions and even singing language. Poetry should be a language art, not a straightforward exposition and narration. In the rhythm of language, it emphasizes rhythm and ups and downs, which has the aesthetic feeling of music; In the use of words, we should wash and practice, pay attention to skills, and have a meaningful aesthetic feeling; The use of appropriate rhetorical devices makes the language more vivid and embodies the aesthetic feeling of the image.
The structural beauty of poetry lies in its own forms of expression, which are easy to read, sing and remember. The aesthetic feeling of poetry structure is mainly reflected in composition, how to combine content and form more perfectly. This requires a good idea in content, a good choice of materials and appropriate genre, a clear definition of the theme, and the use of effective writing skills. Take different artistic styles in form, so as to better express the content of ideas.
It is the poet's responsibility to get out of confusion and care about the development of poetry, and it is also the sacred mission of the poetry world. It is the only way for the development of poetry and the only choice for poets to advocate new poetry styles, create more updated poetry genres and let poetry really enter the society and public life.
