How to read and appreciate a poem

1. The main aesthetic features of poetry. There are many kinds of poems, and different people have different aesthetic tastes and different degrees of love for all kinds of poems, but no matter what kind of poems, their basic aesthetic characteristics are the same, mainly: ① strong lyricism. Compared with other styles, poetry is more lyrical. Even if the narrative is mainly narrative, we can't ignore this feature. As Ai Qing, a famous poet in China, said in On Poetry, "People like to read poetry, and the most important thing is to get emotional inspiration and help from it. When a poem lacks emotion, people begin to lose trust in it. " ② Language has the beauty of elegance and music. Poetry is a literary style with words as the unit of measurement. When writing poems, poets pay great attention to the refinement of words, sentences and meanings, and they should scrutinize and be meticulous in the use of every word. In addition, the language of poetry also has unique musical beauty, emphasizing the harmonious beauty of rhythm and rhythm. ③ The implication of the content is beautiful. Poetry has rich connotations. China's classical poems have the characteristics of profound meaning, and modern excellent poems also have the beauty of profound meaning. When reading poetry, we should not be satisfied with literal understanding, but should make appropriate and accurate associations to explore the "deep meaning" of poetry. 2. Capture the beauty of imagery and artistic conception in poetry. Image is a special means for literature and art to reflect reality, and it is a concrete and vivid picture created by writers with certain ideological and artistic appeal. Artistic conception is an artistic realm formed by the combination of the life picture depicted in literary works and the thoughts and feelings expressed. Excellent poetry has many touching images and artistic conception. Poets often use vivid three-dimensional scenery language and beautiful, harmonious and rhythmic melody in their poems to arouse readers' potential thoughts and feelings, generate associations, form images or express a certain artistic conception. This kind of imagery beauty and artistic conception beauty of poetry can induce readers to associate and imagine more freely. When we recite poetry, we should carefully capture the beauty of image and artistic conception and fully appreciate the true meaning of its artistic realm. 3. Understand the beauty of poetry. Interest in reasoning refers to reasoning, that is, expressing a certain philosophy through a certain artistic image, so that people can get useful enlightenment from it. An important feature of this kind of poetry is the unity of poetic sentiment and philosophy, or the combination of theory and prose and slang. When reading such poems, we should not only pay attention to capturing their images, but also deeply understand their rational interests. But this can not be done by imagination and association alone, but by deep exploration and thinking in the aesthetic process and through "understanding". 4. Taste the formal beauty of poetry. Whether the form is perfect or not directly determines the quality of poetry. The formal beauty of poetry is not only manifested in the beauty of neatness, symmetry and complexity, but also in the beauty of rhyme, flatness and rhythm. China's ancient poems pay attention to levelness, rhyme and rhythm, while foreign poems pay attention to light and heavy tones, long and short tones and cadence, all in order to strengthen the musicality and rhythm of poetry. The formal beauty of poetry, in addition to structure and rhythm, also includes various rhetorical devices such as metaphor, exaggeration, repetition and parallelism. When we taste the beauty of poetry, we should read and recite it slowly and repeatedly, so that the sound of every word in the poem can penetrate into our consciousness, and then we can realize the special artistic effect of poetry, which seems to have temperature in color and image in sound, thus causing strong infection and * * *. However, when appreciating, don't forget that only works with perfect unity of content and form are excellent works, and don't just focus on the form of poetry.
