Poetic Concept of Early Crescent Poetry School

Crescent School advocates new metrical poetry, advocates "rational control of emotions", opposes the messy and prosaic tendency of poetry, and makes a serious exploration of the metrical poetry from theory to practice. The former crescent school advocated "three beauties", namely "the beauty of music (the beauty of syllables), the beauty of painting (the beauty of words) and the beauty of architecture (the beauty of symmetry of knots and the beauty of neat sentences).

"。 It was put forward in view of the scattered form of new poetry at that time. This proposition laid the theoretical foundation of the new metrical school and made some contributions to the development of new poetry.

Therefore, the crescent school is also known as the "new metrical poetry school". Crescent school corrected the weakness of early prose poetry creation, and also made new poetry enter the period of independent creation.

While advocating the three beauties, the post-Crescent School added the principles of "health" and "dignity", and still adhered to the position of "pure poetry" which was super-utilitarian, self-expression and aristocratic, emphasizing "purity of essence, thoroughness of techniques and rigor of meter". However, the artistic expression and lyrical way of poetry are close to the modernist school.
