2. Modern poetry
Modern poetry, also known as "vernacular poetry", can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty, which is a kind of poetry. Compared with classical poetry, although they are all written for feeling things, they are generally informal in format and rhythm.
Modern poetry is free in form and rich in connotation, and image management is more important than rhetoric application. Compared with ancient poetry, although they all feel things and reflect the soul, they completely break through the characteristics of ancient poetry, which are "gentle and sincere, with no complaints", and emphasize more on free and open, straightforward statements and intangible communication between reason and reason.
The mainstream of modern poetry is free verse. Free verse is the product of the May 4th New Culture Movement, which uses vernacular in form, breaking the shackles of old-style poetry, and mainly reflects new life and expresses new ideas in content.

Modern Poetry in China: Poetry before the first half of the 20th century is called "Modern Poetry in China".
China's Contemporary Poetry: Poetry after the second half of the 20th century is called "China's Contemporary Poetry".
