Classification of popular science poems

According to chivalry and broad sense, popular science poetry can be divided into narrow sense and broad sense.

1. Narrow-sense popular science poems

Narrow-sense popular science poems refer to poems whose main contents are about popularizing scientific knowledge or whose creation purpose is to popularize scientific knowledge.

for example, "How Hard-working Bees Are" (Author: Tan Xiao)

Bees keep flying around

They have to collect nectar

4 times a day, but

they have to pick 1 flowers

at a time to get

.5g

at night < > it takes 1 times to

finally become a honey paste

2. Generalized popular science poetry

Generalized popular science poetry refers to a poem that most of the contents of the poem do not elaborate on scientific knowledge, only some scientific knowledge is mixed in the poem, and the creation purpose is not to popularize scientific knowledge, but the result is a popular science poem.

For example, in some poems, most of the contents do not elaborate on scientific knowledge, but some scientific knowledge is mixed in the poems, and the poems have certain popularity.

For example, Writing Love on the Sun (by Tan Xiao)

Go

Watch the solar eclipse with me

I wrote love on the sun

...

Look

It's a diamond ring

It's inlaid with a giant diamond

Now

. To the neck

Look

The world around me is getting dark

It's no longer hot and dry

This is an occasional shade for you

...

Dear

I wrote my love for you

on the moon

According to the language rhythm structure, popular science poems can be divided into ancient poems.

When it comes to classical poetry and metrical poetry, some people think it has nothing to do with popular science, which may be caused by their ignorance of classical poetry and metrical poetry. Classical poetry and metrical poetry are two kinds of poems according to the prosodic structure of poetic language. Classical poetry is called classical poetry only because it was mainly produced in ancient times before the Tang Dynasty. Metric poetry is called metrical poetry because of its clear text meter. If we follow the word structure and rhythm of classical poetry and metrical poetry, use modern scientific knowledge to create, or elaborate the contents of popular science, the poems created are classical or metrical popular science poems. In fact, if we think about it, there are Zen poems in Buddhism, mostly in the form of archaic poems and metrical poems, so science popularization can naturally have archaic poems and metrical poems.

For example, two poems of Seven Laws "Sending the God of Sorrow" (by Mao Zedong)

One of them

There are many green mountains and green waters, but Hua Tuo is helpless against bugs!

thousands of people in Ficus pumila L. have lost their lives, and thousands of families sing songs.

Sit on the ground and walk 8, miles a day, and see a thousand rivers from afar.

Cowherd wanted to ask about the plague, but he was as sad and happy as ever.

the equator of the earth is 4, kilometers long, which is 8, li. People live on the earth. Because of the rotation of the earth, they have traveled 8, miles a day unconsciously, so they "sit on the ground and travel 8, miles a day". The earth revolves around the sun in the universe, so people living on the earth are also "surveying the sky". A thousand rivers refer to many stars in the universe. Different words have different intentions. According to intention, popular science poetry can be divided into single intention poetry and multi-intention poetry.

1. One-sided poems

Poems often have multiple intentions because of concise sentences. However, as a popular science poem, because of its popularity, sometimes its intention will be very single.

For example, The Distance between Chimpanzees and Humans (Author: Tan Xiao)

The distance between chimpanzees and humans

was 7 million years ago. The ancestors of chimpanzees and humans

were either wives and husbands

or husbands and wives

The distance between chimpanzees and humans

was 7 million years later today

because there are. > is the nearest and farthest distance in the world

Chimpanzees and people both use tools

But one will use tools to catch ants

The other will use tools to keep each other in a cage

2. Multi-purpose poems

Although popular science poems expound popular science knowledge or some elements of scientific knowledge are involved in sentences, as poems, they are easy to show various intentions in words.

For example, Eating Fish (by Tan Xiao)

Just now

the fish was still alive

In a blink of an eye

the fresh life

died

its delicate body

piece by piece

accompanied by seasoning

entered

me. Tomorrow

another part of it

will be reincarnated through my system

and then

and then

the reincarnated part

will be reincarnated into a plant body

if

there is another chance

to reincarnate several times

or

. , clearly wrote a thing in our life, fresh fish died, was eaten with relish, and then, become a part of the human body, and then, into the cycle, and then, regeneration. This meaning can be understood by children. If we explore in depth, the whole poem discusses the relationship between man and animals, the relationship between life and nature, and other issues; From the perspective, there are life perspectives, scientific perspectives, etc. Feeling, there is a sense of compassion, funny sense of humor, sense of reality, etc ... Popular science poetry is very different from most traditional poems, and it is easy to classify according to disciplines. Popular science poetry can be divided into three categories: natural science poetry, social science poetry, mixed poetry of natural science and social science, and * * *.

For example, the astronomical poem "How Brilliant the Stars in the Sky" (Author: Tan Xiao)

How brilliant the stars in the sky are

So far away from us

The light can reach

There are hundreds of millions of light years away

When I see them,

Maybe

They have already disappeared

Because

All I see is. It really hurts

This tooth really hurts

It hurts me so much

This tooth

is still alive

For example, the sociological poem "Mrs. Ma Effect" (by Tan Xiao)

Mr. Ma is a celebrity

Mrs. Ma is also a celebrity

Mrs. Ma

It also exudes

everywhere.

Poetry belongs to the category of literature, and the author is not writing scientific papers, especially popular science poems in a broad sense. Therefore, popular science poems can easily involve knowledge of natural science and social science at the same time, and poetry becomes mixed popular science poems.
