First of all, let's talk about poems. At present, it is generally believed that within ten lines, about a hundred words are small poems. It came into being after the May 4th Movement, roughly between1921-1925, and was influenced by the Indian poet Tagore's Birds. Representative figures are Bing Xin and Zong Baihua, and representative poems are Stars, Spring Water and Walking Clouds.
Contemporary short poems originated from China's short poems. It is generally believed that the number of words within three lines is limited to 30. Their characteristics are short and pithy, and they often win with a philosophical sentence. Macroscopically, micro-poems are subordinate to short poems, and both of them are subordinate to short poems.
The standards of short poems are different. Poetry magazines and websites have their own standards, and generally prefer short poems within twenty or thirty lines. But no matter from which point of view, the definition of short poems is no more than 30 lines.
In the past, the setting of long poems was generally based on forty behavior standards-that is, more than forty lines were long poems. However, in the context of modern Chinese, images are rich, vocabulary is developed, and the poet's feelings are like waves. This standard is too broad, which makes long poems easy to flood and affects the charm and development of long poems as a poetic style. As we all know, the length of novels is often limited to 10,000 words, short stories to 10,000 words, novellas to 100,000 words, and the minimum standard for novels is more than 100,000 words. Although poetry is not a novel, the excessive proliferation of long poems is obviously not good for poetry creation. In view of this, the author needs to introduce the concept of China's poems here, and build a bridge between short poems and long poems, so that they can be clearly distinguished.
