How to learn to write modern poetry?

Broadly speaking, poetry has no definition. But if we must sum up the poem, to put it simply: all concise, affectionate and beautiful words are poems, that is, words and images are highly concise+heart moves with emotion+things sketch = poem. Poetry language does not have to be beautifully written, sometimes it needs a certain degree of extravagance, but it must be affectionate, that is to say, to speak is poetry.

Modern poetry, also known as vernacular poetry, originated in the late Qing Dynasty and prevailed after the May 4th Movement. Like China's modern society, it is deeply influenced by foreign cultures and advocates symbols, stream of consciousness and surrealism. Compared with classical poetry, although they are all written for feelings, they are generally not bound by format and rhythm.

The form is more unrestrained and free, and the meaning is richer. The management of images is often more important than the use of rhetoric, which completely breaks through the characteristics of "gentle and sincere, mourning without complaining" in ancient poetry, and emphasizes the communication between free, open and straightforward sentences and "feeling and invisibility". China's modern poetry is divided into two relatively independent stages: China's modern poetry before the founding of New China and China's contemporary poetry after the founding of New China.
