Ancient poems often use one poem to shape one image, while modern poems often write multiple images in one poem. This does enrich the content of modern poetry, but it also makes its expression and image fullness far less than that of ancient poetry.
The lack of natural environment and humanistic environment in modern poetry also makes it lose its fresh and hearty reading feeling to some extent.
In a sense, ancient poetry is a perfect interpretation of people's spiritual world and natural world, while modern poetry is more about thinking and choosing language. When you really can't help writing, modern poetry may become a word game if you are not careful. This is exactly what today's poetry circles and all real poets should try their best to avoid.
00 (2) essence
There are great differences between ancient poetry and modern poetry in language form. From Chu Ci to Tang Poetry, Song Ci and Yuan Qu, ancient poetry has a relatively fixed language form and strict prosodic requirements. This makes all kinds of ancient poems catchy and powerful to read. Generally speaking, various forms of ancient poetry have a strong sense of rhythm and rhythm. This sense of rhythm and rhythm are combined with people's thoughts and feelings to form a specific language atmosphere. Ancient poems are generally short, so they can't break through the limitations of their own structure and seek the possibility of extra expression. Therefore, the authors of such poems always try to concentrate their feelings on one point and show them in a concentrated way. The poetry creation of that era can be said to be "cherishing ink as gold". This is how the spiritual power of "two sentences win in three years, one song and two tears flow" comes into being.
00 doesn't mean that modern poetry doesn't need to cherish ink like gold.
China's modern poetry originated from the vernacular Chinese during the May 4th Movement and grew up with it. Post-modern poetry after liberation has gone through the stage of collective creation of idealistic political lyrics. After the reform and opening up in 1980s, after experiencing the creative climax represented by famous poets such as Shu Ting and Wang Guozhen and "misty poetry", they accumulated profound foundation and experience, and then a variety of writing methods and schools appeared. However, the free form of modern poetry has always been the basis of its creation after breaking the restriction of metrical rules.
However, formal freedom does not mean freedom of speech.
Because of the unknown and uncertain nature of this free language form, which only needs to keep a simple rhythm, it is difficult to grasp. Modern poetry can create several or even a dozen images to describe very complicated psychological feelings. However, the excessive demand for language and the over-expression of life often make the creation of modern poetry endless, and there is a situation of usurping the role of master. "Poetry expresses ambition", modern poetry and ancient poetry are similar in expressing emotion, which is the theme and soul of all poems. No matter how complicated the way of expressing feelings is, it is impossible for modern poetry to abandon this principle and find another way. There is no such thing as a bright future.
Ancient poetry pays attention to the number of words, sentences, flatness and rhyme. Modern poetry is very free, not as strict as ancient poetry.
