Wen Yiduo advocated that poetry should have three beauties: music beauty, architecture beauty and painting beauty. But personally, he pays more attention to the architectural beauty of poetry, that is, the order of poetic lines. Take his discovery as an example. In this poem, "architectural beauty" is not expressed as "symmetry of sections" (there is only one section in the whole poem), but as "unity of sentences". There are twelve lines in the poem, and each line is basically eleven words, which has both a sense of neatness in appearance and an inner sense of rhythm.
Comparatively speaking, Xu Zhimo pursues the musical beauty of poetry, that is, the rhythm and harmony of poetry. For example, in his "Accidental", the harmony of rhythm is mainly reflected in two aspects: in the arrangement of rhyme, each nine-character line is accompanied by a rhyme, and the five-character line is accompanied by another rhyme, which makes the poetic language appear "connected by blood" and catchy to read; In the application of temperament, the nine-character line has four rhythms, and the five-character line has two rhythms. The arrangement of the two-character scale and the three-character scale has also changed, which makes this poem have a smooth and deep melody.
