Modern poetry school is a poetry school that consciously pursues the artistic beauty of "pure poetry" under the agitation of liberal literary thoughts. Named after Modern magazine founded by Shi Zhecun in1May, 932. This school of poetry is not only influenced by the concept of "pure poetry" in French symbolic poetry, but also comes down in one continuous line with the pursuit of poetic beauty in the early symbolic poetry school represented by Li Jinfa in the 1920s.
On behalf of the publication, Shi Zhecun wrote the Declaration of Founding, proposing: "Modern poetry is poetry, and it is pure modern poetry. They are modern poetic forms in which modern emotions felt by modern people in modern life are arranged with modern words. " The main schools are: Crescent School, kuya School, Obscure School and Jian Yuepai School.
Characteristics of modernist poetry;
Judging from the evolution of the internal aesthetic mechanism of poetry, the construction of poetic beauty of modern poetry school is the inheritance and transcendence of the symbolic character of early symbolic poetry school, and its poetic core is symbolism. They are good at transcending the surface world of the object and conveying various subtle personal feelings with the help of perceptual counterparts and suggestive symbols in the process of subject-object integration and two-way assimilation.
From the content point of view, modernist poets follow the creative style of western modernist literature, trying to fully express the poet's inner feelings rather than the real world. The theme of poetry comes from the basic spirit of western modernist literature: hesitation and loss. This theme is fully expressed in Dai Wangshu's poems.
In terms of poetic techniques, modernism inherited the emphasis of early symbolism on "pure poetry", "appropriateness" and "suggestion", and borrowed from French symbolism.
However, the modern school of poetry excluded the blind copying of western symbolism poetry images, and integrated western symbolism with China classical poetry images, which not only made the poetry images have distinct China characteristics, but also organically combined relatively independent image units with the subject's life perception, forming the overall image beauty of poetry.
