To judge whether ancient poetry is out of date, we must first recognize what era it is. The social basis of the appearance of ancient poetry is that China was in the period of slavery and feudalism, with underdeveloped economy and low cultural popularization rate. In ancient times, ancient poetry can be said to be the fashion of literati. The theme of today's era is economic development and globalization. The rapid dissemination of information is more conducive to social development. Popular culture is more in line with the requirements of the times. From this perspective, ancient poetry does not meet the requirements of modern culture, that is, it is out of date.
In the history of Chinese and foreign literature development, literary practice has been continuously inherited, innovated and developed, and practical experience has become increasingly rich. Content and form are constantly innovating, which is an irresistible historical trend. Therefore, the expression of ancient poetry is out of date, and it is also out of date to study it.
Literature is a kind of social ideology, which not only reflects life with images, but also is a kind of language art, while ancient poetry is difficult to understand, so learning it is out of date.
