Hello, Dong Xiyang, what's the difference between modern poetry and classical poetry?

I think the biggest difference between modern poetry and classical poetry is not the language, but the spirit of poetry. Although I also love reading ancient poems, that kind of love is basically a kind of drama, a kind of shaking my head. It is this that distinguishes ancient poetry from modern poetry. It is this that leaves room for the spirit of modern poetry. I don't think China's classical poems are the best and the most unsurpassable. Of course, in the temperament and aesthetics of classical poetry, Tang poetry and Song poetry may not be surpassed. But this statement has no substantive significance. I don't think ancient poetry can be compared with modern poetry in poetic spirit. As far as the poet touches the soul with poetry, reaches the spiritual existence of complex contradiction between man and the world, and opens the infinite space of our soul through poetry, ancient poetry, even the best, only stays in the kindergarten stage, a classical, group, superficial, typed and tentative stage. Frontier fortress and homesickness have always been in my heart. The best poets can write beautiful, sad and full of twists and turns on all kinds of subjects, but the emotions themselves are mostly similar, elegant and playful after giving up the infinite possibility of the spiritual world, and the most secret voice to existence, the other side and the heart. Compared with modern poetry, the spirit of ancient poetry has a very obvious boundary, where ancient poetry began to give up its efforts and began to stick to the classical siege. I may not be clear about this boundary, but I think everyone who knows classical poetry and modern poetry should feel this absolute boundary.
