The difference between ancient poetry and modern poetry

On the other hand, it is reflected in relative rhyme and balance. From Chu Ci to Tang Poetry, Song Ci and Yuan Qu, ancient poetry has a relatively fixed language form and strict prosodic requirements. This makes all kinds of ancient poems catchy and powerful to read. Generally speaking, various forms of ancient poetry have a strong sense of rhythm and rhythm. This sense of rhythm and rhythm are combined with people's thoughts and feelings to form a specific language atmosphere.

The beauty of modern poetry is mainly reflected in the novelty of images, which is more in line with the reading habits of most modern readers and easier to create an atmosphere. In addition, China's modern poetry originated from the vernacular before and after the May 4th Movement and grew up with it. The free form of modern poetry after breaking the rules has always been the basis of its creation. Some people say that poetry is written for themselves, but I don't quite agree with it, but I'm not completely opposed to it-people are social people, so are poets, and poets will always be a part of society. No poet can write a beautiful chapter without divorced from reality. Water, sand and clouds are just a drop of water in the sea or stream, a grain of sand in the desert and a cloud in the sky. The poet is a society, himself and an individual. He has a unique life experience and has his own characteristics with the things in this society. A grain of sand is different in size and texture. All these can be expressed in a poet's poem-"A dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can reach for the stars, but you dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing people." As far as I know, this poem is purely a personal soul and an experience of real life. Its social value is not positive, and there is no objective embodiment here, but this does not affect its spread to future generations as an excellent poem. "Night gives me black eyes, and I use them to look for light." Pure and concise modern poetry, similar to the poem of truth, does not fully show its social value in this poem, but its enlightenment to the soul cannot be ignored. Comparing the two, who can clearly answer whether ancient poetry is excellent or modern poetry is excellent? No matter whether the poet is extremely lonely, has an extraordinary aura, or is far-sighted and looks forward to the future, he still belongs to this society and individuals in essence.

The difference between ancient poetry and modern poetry in form is the most obvious and fundamental, especially in emphasizing the level and even the writing style. Paying attention to form, that is, stubbornly believing that writing poetry must be proficient in meter and completed in accordance with the prescribed format, is harmful and does more harm than good. Why modern poetry rises is a topic worthy of our consideration. Modern poetry creation is the mainstream of poetry creation in this era and even in the future, which can be seen from the proportion of poetry published on the Internet and traditional journals. On the other hand, if the mainstream position of ancient poetry is not restricted, I am afraid that the level of modern poetry has already surpassed that of ancient poetry. In detail, I think there is no difference between ancient poetry and modern poetry in time and history. Whether you like ancient poetry or master modern poetry is related to the author's personal hobbies and creative methods, and has nothing to do with the quality of the poem itself, or whether it exists or not, which has no conflict with the requirements of poetry creation (both metrical poetry and modern poetry need musical beauty, jumping, dialectics and a tangible life experience).

Modern poetry has sprouted in ancient China. Which of Qu Yuan's Xi Fu, Huai Sha Fu, Li Sao Fu, Ode to an Orange, Li Bai's Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream, Drinking Difficult, Du Fu's Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage, and Chen Ziang's Youzhou Tower pays attention to meter again? Among them, both content and music rhythm are equally excellent. Does unlimited meter affect its status as a masterpiece through the ages? The reason is that the spiritual connotation conveyed by these poems has made them great. Why do we always turn a blind eye to this, being self-righteous and complacent about the profoundness of China's ancient poems? Unfortunately, under the influence of the wave, China's ancient poems, which were not restricted by form, declined directly after the Tang Dynasty, and were not deepened and developed, which was inseparable from the ban on indium in politics and literati's thoughts at that time and their education. The long-term rule of metrical poetry in China has seriously restricted the development of modern poetry, so that the creation of China's free verse finally failed to form a climate and almost disappeared. It was restricted and stifled by the rules of China's ancient body rhyme. In the Qing dynasty, it almost completely declined and could not see the afterglow of the sunset. In modern times, an ancient civilization, modern poetry actually needs to be introduced from abroad, which shows the depth of its harm. However, before 1934, who saw this? The real poets in contemporary China have deeply realized this point. Of course, from another perspective, we can't deny that China's classical poetry creation is beneficial to the development of China's classical poetry. Its strictness and style are indeed unmatched by other countries in the world, and it has become an unshakable and can only be looked up to. We can't deny its historical value and position, let alone its historical significance and social value, but we can't help but say that it is not the sorrow of China's poetry art, which has delayed the development of modern poetry in China for at least one thousand years. The classical poems created by contemporary poets are almost ignored, either because of quality problems or because of the lack of excellent poems. It profoundly reflects the future development direction and irresistible historical trend of poetry. After all, poetry needs to be developed.

What is a really good poem? When I put forward such a question, I thought about it again and again, and I think it is more appropriate to grasp it this way: only poems that are harmonious and unified in content and form, truly reflect the soul's experience of life, life and reality, can move people's hearts and arouse thinking and * * * can become excellent poems.

We can have our own special hobbies, but we can't criticize a certain type of poetry irresponsibly because we don't like it or find it obscure. Individuals unilaterally and subjectively think that it is only a personal matter, and sometimes we can't get to the point directly, or think that poetry creation is simply moaning without illness. At the very least, it is not a respect for the author's painstaking creation. Of course, we can ignore poems with imprecise creative attitude, or point out the shortcomings of their poems, which is conducive to communication and improvement after all.

As for readers' different views on the same work of an author, I think it is caused by the difference in readers' level and attitude towards reading poetry, or by personal life experience. I remember a master poet who read his own poem at different times. He told us that his understanding was completely different, and the poet himself was still like this, let alone others. As for the naive statement that a friend told me the other day that the work of an author who won the first prize was not pleasing, I wonder if we can talk about other things after thoroughly understanding his award-winning works.
