The characteristics of modern poetry are:
1. The form is relatively free;
2. The connotation is open;
3. Image management is more important than rhetoric;
4. It has a high degree of generality, vivid image, strong lyricism, musical harmony and branch arrangement in form.
The mainstream of modern poetry is free verse. The vernacular style is adopted in form, which breaks the shackles of the old-style poetry, and mainly reflects the new life and expresses new ideas in content.

Crescent School is an important school of poetry in the history of modern new poetry, which can be roughly divided into two periods.
Cong Chun 1926, Zhu Xiang, Rao Mengkan, Sun Dayu, Liu, et al.
They advocate new metrical poetry, advocate "rational control of emotions" and oppose the disorganized and prosaic tendency of poetry. The crescent school corrected the weakness of the early poetry creation that was too informal, and also made the new poetry enter the period of conscious creation.
In the later period, the Crescent School took Crescent Monthly and Poetry Magazine, which were founded in 1930, as its main positions, and its new members were Chen, Fang and Bian.
In the later period, the Crescent School emphasized "the purity of essence and the thoroughness of technique", but the artistic expression and lyric way of poetry were close to modernism.
