main feature
Free verse is born out of the shackles of thousands of years of poetic rhythm, striving for liberation in style, syllable and language, showing new characteristics:
The first is to get rid of the stereotyped classical Chinese and add poems to the vernacular. In particular, it advocates using simple and friendly common words and common sayings close to common spoken language instead of difficult rhetoric in classical Chinese, writing about social situation and expressing sincere feelings and brand-new ideas.
Secondly, in syllable rhythm, we should get rid of the rigid bondage of old-style poems, such as rhyme, meter and even allusion. , and pay attention to the nature of music instead of sticking to rhyme (My Opinion on New Poetry by Kang). The syllables of poetry should be prioritized and cadenced according to the natural ups and downs of the poet's own emotions and the natural rhythm of the tone.
