Poetry is a literary genre, which has no tension and fierce conflict of drama, twists and turns of novels and vivid story lines, and no scattered form and concentrated spirit of prose. It reflects social life and expresses the author's feelings through vivid images, beautiful artistic conception, highly concise language and flexible expression skills. Imagination gallops, the rhythm is lively, giving people the enjoyment of beauty and cultivating sentiment in the harmonious rhythm.
To read and understand poetry, we must feel the unique charm of poetry through our own imagination and association, start with the image or artistic conception of poetry, taste the beautiful language of poetry and master the expressive skills of poetry, so as to listen to the feelings with the author. Only in this way can we truly understand poetry and its connotation.
First, read the whole perception repeatedly and enter the artistic conception.
Poetry is the most suitable literary genre for reading aloud. Through colorful reading, we can not only appreciate the unique beauty of rhythm and music from the cadence of poetry, but also let us be in the realm of poetry and wander with the poet in the beautiful artistic conception he created. Poetry expresses images and emotions through artistic conception, and can enter artistic conception, so reading poetry is already twice the result with half the effort.
Second, expand the association and feel the image through imagination.
When creating, poets combine their thoughts, feelings and objective images into poetic images through imagination. This kind of image can be the poet himself, the characters created in the poem, and the scenery and things depicted in the poem. The image of poetry contains the poet's feelings. Therefore, only by reconstructing imagination through one's own association and restoring images in poetry can one understand the poet's thoughts and feelings.
