To understand this, we need to understand "what is modern poetry" and "the function of punctuation":
First, modern poetry refers to poetry from the May 4th Movement to before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The main difference between modern poetry and old-style poetry is that it is written in vernacular. The characteristics of modern poetry are:
1. Freedom of form; 2. The connotation is open; 3. Image management is more important than rhetoric; 4. It has a high degree of generality, vivid image, strong lyricism, musical harmony and branch arrangement in form.
2. Punctuation is an auxiliary symbol of written language and a part of written language, which is used to express pause, mood and the nature and function of words.
1. In fact, China has punctuation marks since the pre-Qin period, which can be seen in archaeological relics since the 20th century, but there is no unified standard for these symbols. For example, the symbol "└" can be seen in bamboo slips during the Warring States period, which usually indicates the end of an article; Another example is the function of "▄", which combines modern commas and periods to express sentence breaks.
2. There are 10 kinds of punctuation commonly used now, which are divided into two categories: dot and punctuation. The role of dots is punctuation, which mainly indicates the pause and tone when speaking. Point the end point and the middle point of a sentence. The dots at the end of the sentence are used at the end of the sentence, including periods, question marks and exclamation marks, indicating the pause at the end of the sentence and the tone of the sentence.
Third, there is no conflict between modern poetry and punctuation, and it is unnecessary.
1, modern poetry can accommodate punctuation marks. The carrier of modern poetry is vernacular Chinese, and punctuation marks are generally used.
2. The vernacular Chinese has broken the shackles of the metrical form of the old-style poems, but it is not completely disordered, so some modern poems are clear even without punctuation.
3. In modern poetry, some don't add punctuation marks at all, some add commas in sentences but omit a full stop, and some add various punctuation marks. Xu Zhimo's poems generally have no punctuation marks, while Ai Qing's poems have various punctuation marks.

A Cold Night with Emerald (Xu Zhimo)
The mist in the evening moistened my eyes.
Silent parting is sad.
The autumn wind blew half the smoke.
Lonely Yang Liuan, Xiao Feng and the waning moon.
The autumn wind is rustling.
The hazy and wandering night on the buttonwood tree
The past is slightly drunk.
The moonlight rolled up the leaves.
Fireworks across the river bank gradually disappeared in this ancient city building.
There is no melancholy drinking, and the shower has just begun to rest.
Lonely as a flower
Blooming in this lonely Chang 'an Avenue.
Who is sighing?
Tears provoke osmanthus moon
Yellowing thoughts slowly cooled in the bronze mirror.
Holding hands, looking at each other speechless.
Emerald night
Leaving me is sentimental and sad.
Just like when the moon is full in smoke.
Emerald night
More like an autumn festival.
Let the pale blue sadness bloom on the strings.

2. Learning (Ai Qing)
It's snowing, it's snowing, there's no sound,
It's snowing, it's been snowing,
Snow covered the yard,
Snow covered the roof,
How quiet the whole world is, how quiet it is.
Watching snowflakes flying,
I think it's far, far away,
Thinking of the Woods in summer,
Morning in the Woods,
Dewdrops are everywhere,
The sun has just risen.
A child, barefoot,
Coming out of the morning light,
His face is like a flower,
He sang in a low voice,
He has a bamboo pole in his little hand.
He raised his little head,
Those shining eyes,
Through the thick leaves,
Looking for the sound of cicadas ...
His other little hand,
Brought a bunch of green things,
A long green bristlegrass,
There are grasshoppers, scarabs and dragonflies,
All this,
I remember it very clearly.
We haven't been in the Woods for a long time,
Textbook "Snow Morning"
Textbook "Snow Morning"
It has been covered with fallen leaves,
There will be no figure;
But I will always remember that child,
His very light, very light voice,
At the moment, he doesn't know which cabin it is.
Looking at the snowflakes that keep flying,
Maybe I want to throw snowballs in the Woods,
Maybe I want to go skating on the lake,
But he will never know.
One person thought of him,
On this snowy morning.
