The basic definition of the new national style is: adhering to the traditional spirit of "the hungry sing their food, and the laborers sing their things", standing on the people's standpoint, expressing their actual feelings about contemporary life with concise language and flowing rhythm, and striving to achieve simple and profound artistic effects.

The new national style is the product of the times. Nowadays, the popularity of social education makes it possible for people to learn and master poetry skills, thus creating poetry works completely different from ancient "scholar-bureaucrat poetry". The "new national style" requires the integration of contemporary real life into poetry creation under the premise of strictly observing the traditional artistic forms of poetry, which puts high demands on the artistic skills of poetry creation. Therefore, the popularity of poetry pursued by the "New National Style Movement" is "the essence of works and the popularity of readers".

(B) the new national style movement to promote the "four modernizations of poetry."

Modernization, quality, popularization and marketization

The order of the four cannot be reversed.

Only by advancing with the times can we be refined (poems divorced from the life of the times can only be "fakes" and "fakes" and cannot be refined).

Only high-quality products can be popularized (the pursuit of popularization can not only lower the threshold of creation, but also improve the quality of works. Only by creating works that strive for perfection can they be accepted by the public and become masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

Only popularization can lead to marketization (market and money have always been taboo for poets, but marketization is the inevitable way out for contemporary poetry. Contemporary society is a market economy society. As long as poetry can be accepted by the people, poets can naturally get corresponding market returns.

(3) A series of questions about the new national style.

1, the social background of the new national style.

Popularization of education: the popularization of compulsory education has enabled farmers, workers, vendors and other low-level civilians to receive cultural education (knowing more than 5,000 words), so it is possible to master poetry creation skills;

Media platform: TV, newspapers, magazines and other traditional media have promoted the exchange of social information, broadened the horizons and knowledge of the general public, and the emergence of online media has given the grassroots a platform for daily study and open communication;

Social openness: An open and diversified society presupposes a broad background space for the acquisition and creation of new national styles.

2. The artistic requirements of the new national style

Make the past serve the present. Neither rigidly adhere to the imitation of the past, nor obsessed with innovation.

The meter is rigorous, the language is fluent and the connotation is profound. Strive to achieve "one eye is cute, ten eyes are fun" and "the layman has a taste and the expert has a doorway".

3. Why should the new national style adopt strict traditional poetry forms?

Traditional poetry is the most popular form of poetry in China.

Chinese civilization is the only surviving self-source civilization in the world, and Chinese characters are also the only surviving self-source characters in the world, which determines the uniqueness of Chinese and Chinese characters (such as monosyllabic, tetrasyllabic and square characters). The artistic forms of traditional poetry (such as seven-character poems, flat poems, antithetical poems, etc.). ) are all perfect forms refined according to the characteristics of Chinese and Chinese characters. Therefore, poems created in the form of traditional poems are more catchy, easy to remember and more in line with the aesthetic taste of most people in China. The new national style movement pursues the popularization of poetry, so it can only adopt strict traditional poetry forms.

4. Traditional poetry is too difficult. If the new national style takes the form of new poems, is it easier to popularize?

The so-called popularization means public appreciation, not public creation. World without thieves is a popular movie, but the director can only be Xiaogang Feng. A "poet" wants to create works that the public likes, but refuses to immerse himself in the basic skills of poetry creation, which will only make a "pear-shaped" joke.

5. Does the "New National Style Movement" adopt the form of traditional poetry, that is, it denies "new poetry"?

There is a mythical animal called "Dragon" in the West, which is translated into "Dragon" in China. In fact, "dragon" and "dragon" in China are not the same kind at all.

There is a literary form in the West called "Poetry", which is translated by China people. In fact, "poetry" is very different from China's "poetry".

The birth of new poetry has a very special historical background. In essence, it is only the study and imitation of "poetry". Therefore, China's traditional "New Poetry" and "Poetry" have the same name, but their essence is different. The "New National Style Movement" tried to revive China's poetry, but it did not completely deny the "new poetry" as an exotic product. In fact, Gao Zhanxiang and Kong Linzi, the founders of the New National Sports Movement, wrote new poems themselves, and any style can learn from each other. Advocating one and overthrowing the other is by no means a correct learning attitude.

6. Does contemporary society need poetry?

Poetry is the ancestor of literature and the foundation of art. If we still need literature and art, then poetry has the value of existence.

Macroscopically speaking, reviving poetry can carry forward national traditional culture, promote the construction of spiritual civilization and establish national self-confidence. In a word, learning poetry can not only improve aesthetic taste, speaking style and writing ability, but also purify the hearts of authors and readers and sublimate their souls.

7. Does poetry have potential market value?

First of all, it is necessary to establish a correct creative atmosphere (that is, the new national style) and polish excellent works, so as to realize market value. Because poetry is short, easy to remember and rich in aftertaste, this literary genre is very suitable for the fast-paced life of contemporary society. At present, we believe that poetry can be marketized at least in the following ways:

A, make poetry a bestseller and make poetry a portable reading material for contemporary readers;

B. teaching poetry, teaching artistic skills and talking about excellent works;

C, combining with animation, making poetry a popular animation;

D, combining with music (drama) to make poetry a popular lyric (drama);

E, combining with short messages, making poetry a mass short message;

F, combining with calligraphy and painting, making poetry an artistic ornament in various occasions;

G. Combine business cards and inscriptions to create personalized poems for units and individuals;

H, combined with film and television programs, comic sketches and other cultural entertainment; At present, most of the poetry works in various film and television programs lack standards, which makes people laugh. )

I put poems on various daily necessities, such as teacups, pencil boxes and calendars, so that poems can penetrate into all aspects of life.

J, combined with advertising, make poetry a compulsory course for copywriting;

………………

There are countless business opportunities that can be realized through poetry, but the poetry market is still a virgin land, which needs to be gradually reclaimed and excavated.

8. Does the new national style advocate the marketization of poetry, which will lead to the vulgarization of poetry and even Chinese studies?

Any talent and skill need to have its own market, otherwise this talent is "the art of killing dragons" and has no value. China was an imperial society in ancient times, so the ancients "learned written martial arts and tasted the imperial family". Contemporary China is a civilian society, so we should point the poetry market to the general public.

The marketization of poetry is to let people and readers test the quality of poetry works. Marketization is the best way to improve the level of poetry creation. On the other hand, it can't be marketized, and the quality of poetry has to be decided by senior officials and "authority". Some poets who were not high-ranking officials and "authoritative" originally could only establish their "authority" and status by cliques and mutual flattery, which directly led to the low quality of their works and the corruption of their poetic style. Many "poets" refuse marketization because they need to safeguard their own interests in a small circle and dare not accept the test of the public readers. The frog in the well refuses to face the ocean because it can't stand the vast waves!

Of course, the marketization of poetry should also have a certain bottom line. Popularity is neither vulgar nor kitsch, which requires the poet to consciously grasp when creating.
