However, we must be clear that the format of poetry is also a problem that must be paid attention to, except for writing according to content or sentences, especially in the organization of language. Mainly manifested in two aspects: first, the use of rhetoric; The first is to break the conventional combination. Flexible use of various rhetoric can enhance the vitality of poetry, and boldly breaking the conventional combination (that is, not matching according to grammatical requirements) can achieve unexpected results, but it should not be too much.
Rhetoric is an important skill in poetry. Including personification, metaphor, parallelism, rhetorical question, repetition, thimble, duality, exaggeration, symbol and so on. It can be said that each expression technique has its own uniqueness. The use of metaphor can express the content of poetry more vividly and vividly. The use of xing can make readers understand the artistic conception of poetry from the beginning, and make poetry more affectionate and lasting appeal; The use of exaggeration, symbolism and synaesthesia can inject more fresh blood into poetry, make poetry more imaginative and intimate, without making people feel vague and obscure, so that readers can truly understand the thoughts and feelings expressed by the author.
Symbolism, on the other hand, uses concrete things to express a special meaning, which is the most commonly used technique in poetry. For example, Bing Xin's Paper Boat symbolizes the yearning for his mother, and Feng Zhi's I am a river symbolizes the pursuit of love. Usually we also like to use symbols, such as "plum blossom" to symbolize perseverance and "candle" to symbolize silent dedication. Wang Jiaxin's Beyond the Mountain uses "sea" and "mountain" to symbolize "ideal" and "difficulties and setbacks in pursuing ideal". Do you know the common symbolic meanings of the following objects? Sun, bees, flies, mosquitoes, snowflakes? Bright, selfless, dirty, exploitative and pure.
I won't go into details about the use of other techniques, but we will continue to learn and use them in the creative process.
As mentioned above, there is another aspect of the language organization of poetry, that is, breaking the conventional combination, which can sometimes make poetry language and poetry achieve a leap-forward effect.
The language of poetry transcends the general grammatical rules, and it has the characteristics of jumping, prominence and supernormality. Its combination is flexible, for example, we can use modifiers with different functions alternately, such as "black sigh", "dream of oil foam", "pink memory", "warm silence" and "ivory song". And use this incredible expression to express the complex emotions of modern people (of course, this is also a rhetorical device called synaesthesia).
Part-of-speech conversion is also a routine technique in poetic language. For example, in love poems, "Summer is too heavy, autumn is too cicada" ("Light Snow Today") and "We have weathered the wind and frost" ("Heavy Snow in Hunan"), where nouns are used as verbs, can not only arouse readers' corresponding image feelings, but also contain rich experience. The word "lotus" gives people a feeling of declining enthusiasm, the word "cicada" gives people an impetuous and desolate image, and the words "wind" and "frost" give people a hard and mature life experience.
After mastering some creations, we should also have the effort of "hammering words and refining sentences", which is also a revision in our usual composition. This is especially important for us beginners.
