The difference between new poetry and modern poetry lies in the creation method and expression technique.
New poetry refers to a literary form that emerged in the Chinese literary world in the early 20th century. Its main feature is that it focuses on the poet's personal feelings and emotions, focusing on artistic conception and phonological beauty. Modern poetry refers to a form of poetry that emerged in the mid-to-late 20th century. Its main feature is that it focuses on expressing social reality and human destiny, and adopts free creative methods and diverse expression techniques, such as symbolism, imagery, lyricism, etc. The creative methods and expression techniques of the two are very different, reflecting the literary trends and aesthetic trends in different historical periods and social backgrounds.
With the changes of the times and the continuous advancement of literary development, the boundaries between new poetry and modern poetry have gradually blurred.
