A comparison between Wen Yiduo's and Xu Zhimo's poems?
Wen Yiduo is an important representative of the Crescent School and the founder of the theory of metrical poetry. The core content of his theory is to pay attention to the "three beauties" of poetry: the beauty of music, that is, the harmony of syllables and rhymes, and the arrangement and combination of syllables and scales in a line of poetry should be regular; The beauty of painting means that the words of poetry should be beautiful and colorful, and pay attention to the visual image and intuition of poetry; Architectural beauty, that is, from the overall appearance of poetry, should be symmetrical between sections and even between lines. Although there is no need to rigidly limit the number of words per line to be uniform, in order to have a sense of neatness, the differences between lines should not be too big. The greatest achievement of stagnant water is to create the phonological form of new poetry. Wen Yiduo showed the charm of vernacular Chinese with the practice of this collection of poems. In this collection of poems, he used the form of western metrical poems for reference, compared the flatness and rhyme of China's classical poems, explored the musicality of modern language itself, and created new metrical poems with various artistic conceptions. Its main feature is to express a variety of life experiences with changeable rhythm (sound level) and rhyme feet. "Dead Water" fully practices Wen Yiduo's pursuit of new metrical poems, and shows his creative style, with well-balanced stanzas, even stanzas, neat rhythm and rich sense of rhythm. The gorgeous color of painting and the emotional color of poetry are often integrated, showing the charm of poetry in precise conception and forming dignified emotional power in sharp contrast. The main content of Wen Yiduo's poems is to praise and miss the motherland; Anti-imperialism and racial discrimination; Disappointment with the dark reality of the motherland under the rule of warlords and belief in the rebirth of the motherland. Wen Yiduo's poems also praise love and youth and nature. Wen Yiduo's poems not only have unique pursuit in hearing and vision, but also show rich imagination, good at refining words and making sentences and clever metaphors, which are admirable. 3. Xu Zhimo's Zhi Mo and Cold Jade Night belong to the early works, most of which have positive ideological significance and reflect the spirit of the May 4th Movement to some extent. Their main ideological contents are: pursuing the ideal of light and freedom; Reflect the real life of society; Describe love experiences and praise nature. In the later poems included in Tiger Collection and Wandering Collection, although there are some positive chapters and techniques tend to be mature, the contradictions and confusion of thoughts can still be clearly seen. Sincerely expressing the soul and pursuing individual liberation are the basic artistic features of Xu Zhimo's poems. Its outstanding artistic features are: (1) ingenious conception and novel image. Shian Nora, a well-known poem, has only four sentences. Its central image is a shy little lotus flower, which is used to describe the gentle and affectionate expression of Japanese girls. It is vivid and appropriate, both pure and touching, and shows the unique gentle charm of Xu Zhimo's poems. The melody is harmonious and full of musical beauty. He believes that "the secret of poetry lies in the neatness and flow of syllables" and syllables are the "blood" of poetry. In a large number of four-line lyric poems by Xu Zhimo, he often uses overlapping, repetition, parallelism and duality. For example, in the first four lines of Farewell to Cambridge, the word "gently" is repeated three times, resulting in a brisk rhythm in lingering, which adds a sense of rhythm to the sense of rhythm. In terms of rhyme, he used the method of western poetry rhyme in many ways, "Sir! Sir! The use of rhyme (AABB), rhyme (ABBA) and rhyme (ABBA) in Searching for Stars changes the harmony of poetic rhyme. (2) Orderly arrangement, flexibility and diversity. Although there are many four lines and one stanza in his poems, on the whole, the stanza, composition and syntactic rhyme have changed, so he is not too rigid and pays attention to the form of poetry, so he can't be bound by it. There are changes in the order of placement, showing a flexible and diverse style. For example, Farewell to Cambridge has four lines in each paragraph, which rhymes alternately. One or three lines are slightly shorter, about six words, and two or four lines are slightly longer, about eight words. The lines are regularly dispersed in length, and most of them are neat and symmetrical. (3) Gorgeous rhetoric and distinctive style. Xu Zhimo's poetic thinking is very imaginative, and naturally it is easy to show the richness of words and colorful words. Xu Zhimo's poetry creation effectively practices the "three beauties" advocated by Wen Yiduo's poetry theory, takes the amazing beauty of "pure poetry" as the center, and sets up a real pure romantic spirit in the field of modern poetry in China.
