Specifically, the appreciation of modern poetry mainly starts from the following aspects:
(A) the language of poetry
Language is the basic material of all literary works. Poetry pays special attention to the use of language, and its artistic image, artistic conception and emotional communication all depend on language. Due to the characteristics of genre, the language of poetry requires to convey as much content as possible in the simplest words, forming a concise, implicit and leaping poetic language feature. Relatively speaking, new poetry is written in vernacular, with fewer allusions, which is easier to grasp than old-style poetry.
(B) the image of poetry
Poetry reflects life and expresses feelings through artistic images. To appreciate poetry, we must accurately grasp the artistic images in poetry. Some poems depict concrete and vivid images throughout, and express their feelings through images. Although some poems do not depict specific images, they can arouse readers' imagination and form specific images in imagination; There are also some poems that not only depict concrete images, but also express their thoughts and feelings. Although poetry depicts images in different ways, we must grasp the images depicted in poetry to appreciate them.
To grasp the image of poetry, we must grasp the characteristics of the image. Some poems describe more images, so it is necessary to combine many individual images to form a whole image. The images depicted in some poems are not real, but have metaphorical or symbolic connotations. Grasping the image of this kind of works cannot be understood literally, but should be combined with the background of the times and the author's experience to explore the connotation of the image through imagination and association. In a word, understanding the image of poetry should be based on profound understanding and overall grasp, not superficial understanding.
There are many ways to shape images in poetry, which can be described directly or indirectly. It can be line drawing or heavy ink; It can pave the way, set off or create an image through imagination and association. Only by truly understanding the image of poetry can we deeply understand the feelings expressed in poetry.
(C) the emotion of poetry
Poetry is a lyric style. When appreciating, we must deeply understand the emotional connotation of poetry. We can grasp its implication and enlightenment to readers through the image and artistic conception of poetry, so as to understand the author's feelings.
The thoughts and feelings of some poems are reflected by the metaphor and symbolic meaning of poetic images. To understand the thoughts and feelings of this kind of poetry, we must first accurately grasp the connotation of images, and then expand association and imagination to deepen our understanding of feelings and avoid real meaning in grasping images.
Poetry is a reflection of life in a certain era, and the characteristics of the times cannot be ignored in understanding the feelings of poetry. Works with the same theme will show different thoughts and feelings because of the poet's ideals and interests, life experiences and different times.
Poets express their feelings in various ways. They can express their feelings directly, borrow scenery or borrow things to express their feelings. Many poems are full of scenes and feelings.
(D) the artistic characteristics of poetry
The artistic features are mainly lyrical means, allusion, conception and expression. In the appreciation of poetry, we should be able to master the common means of expression and artistic skills of poetry, such as personification, metaphor, metonymy, exaggeration, contrast, symbol, combination of motion and static, seeing the big from the small, combination of reality and reality, contrast and lyricism.
Poetry appreciation is an artistic cognitive activity. Readers should take the language of poetry as the medium, grasp the artistic image, feel the thoughts and feelings contained in the works, and produce the voice of thoughts and feelings.
(2) Poetry appreciation is generally carried out in the following aspects:
First, capture the profound artistic beauty of poetry. Artistic conception is called the highest realm of poetry creation. When appreciating poetry, we should be good at capturing the artistic conception of poetry with rich imagination and association (that is, the integration of the author's subjective feelings and the objective world), that is, turning the language of poetry into vivid and concrete pictures, and then arousing our emotions.
Second, taste the implicit beauty of poetry. Mr. Qian Zhongshu once said: "Reason lies in poetry, such as salt in water and flowers in honey, which is invisible, traceless and tasteless." Poetry pays attention to twists and turns. We can't say everything we want to say, but express it with images, which gives people endless aftertaste. This is precisely its implied connotation and what we need to understand with our heart.
Third, feel the beauty of poetry. Guo Moruo said: "Rhythm is the shape of a poem ... without rhythm, it is not a poem." Therefore, when appreciating a poem, you should be good at reciting it repeatedly, so that you can feel the beauty of its phonology. The rhythm of ancient poetry is very regular. Generally speaking, there are three sentences in each five-character poem.
Understanding the beauty of artistic conception, implication and phonology of poetry can make us better understand and appreciate poetry.
