What is classical romanticism?

Romanticism is one of the basic creative methods of literature and art, and together with realism, it constitutes the two mainstream ideological trends of literature and art. As a creative method, romanticism pays attention to the subjective inner world while reflecting the objective reality, expresses the passionate pursuit of the ideal world, and often uses passionate language, magnificent imagination and exaggerated techniques to create images. Romantic creative tendency has a long history. As early as the oral creation period of human literature and art, some works have romantic factors and characteristics to varying degrees. However, romanticism at this time did not form a trend of thought, nor was it a creative method that people consciously mastered. China's romantic poetry is characterized by advocating creative freedom, describing nature, paying attention to innovation and anti-imitation in folk literature and art, paying attention to strangeness and ignoring commonness, having rich imagination and profound curiosity, portraying strange plots with bold imagination and exaggeration, and shaping extraordinary characters. Romantic poetry is novel in form, free in rhythm, rich in rhetoric, moving in metaphor, concise in sentence and magnificent in color.
