Is poetry so important now? It is difficult to learn ...

Very important, rhyme is the most basic requirement for poetry. Nowadays, those so-called poets dare to publish poems even if they say a word out of breath, which is extremely disgusting. Rhyme is relatively free when writing modern poetry, and there is no strict rhyme requirement for ancient poetry. Listening to music and reading American literature are very helpful. I suggest listening to some songs from the 1980s, such as Zhang Mingmin's. Or Jay or Wei's. Their handwriting is quite good. You can learn to sing as long as you listen to comfortable songs. After a long time, it will cultivate a potential sense of rhyme. It's not that hard. More importantly, writing poetry should have artistic conception. An artistic conception that only the communicating mind can understand and appreciate. This requires some spirituality. As for ancient poetry, you need a deeper literary foundation. I have seen people memorize ancient poems and make up their own words, which is very funny. These are all things that need attention. I just don't want people who want to learn poetry culture to go astray. You can ask me any questions.
