What are the characteristics of poetry?

The characteristics of poetry are as follows:

First, short. Brevity is the most basic feature of poetry. No style is shorter than poetry, thanks to its birth.

Second, condensation. Poetry is a highly concentrated language, every sentence must be hammered repeatedly, and every word must have connotation. Like compressed food and mahogany, the density is particularly high.

Third, jump off a building. Poetry is a kind of dance language, so we can't walk slowly as usual. The leap of poetry is not only the leap of words, but also the transformation and leap of context and meaning.

Fourth, lyric. Poetry is a language to express emotions, and rational language cannot be used. Through borrowing scenery to express feelings, we can expand our personal feelings and huge imagination space.

Fifth, aesthetic feeling. Poetry is not only beautiful in words, but also in artistic conception, which makes people see a beautiful soul. So poetry uses the freshest words, which gives people the most beautiful illusion.

Sixth, childish. The poet has an immortal childlike innocence and always looks young. I like to express my true feelings with those sincere and romantic words and free nature.

Seven, implicit. Poetry is like a beautiful girl full of affection. She doesn't express her feelings directly, but "still hides half of her face in front of us behind the guitar", which is euphemistic and subtle, making you think half and half.

Eight, artistry. Poetry comes from reality and transcends it. Artistic use of exaggeration, symbolism, metaphor, pun and a series of rhetorical devices to express emotions and semantics.

Nine, morality. Poetry is simple and uncomplicated on the surface, and strives to make abstruse words simple and easy to understand, making people see at a glance. But it has far-reaching significance and makes people feel that there is a hole in the sky.

Aesthetic characteristics of poetry

1, the beauty of image painting: poetry uses images to express meaning. The ancient Greek poet Simon Nedis said: "Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is vivid painting." Zhang Shunmin, an ancient man, put forward in "Painting Collection": "Poetry is an invisible painting, and painting is a tangible poem", all of which emphasized the distinctive features of poetry. At the same time, image can cause association, and association has great power to induce emotion. Generally speaking, the most appreciated poems are those whose images most people can see in their minds.

2. Rich emotional beauty: Emotional beauty is an important feature of poetry. Poetry without emotional beauty cannot be called poetry, nor can it be called good poetry. The greatest poetry must be full of strong emotions. In a specific living environment, the poet casts a clanking language with the burning passion in his heart, showing specific thoughts and feelings.
