From 202 BC to 220 AD, it was the Han Dynasty. History of rites and music in Han Dynasty: "Write it in poetry, and Zhong Shi plays the strings." The Tang Dynasty was the peak of poetry creation. In the Tang Dynasty, poetry was linked to the imperial examination, and the poet gained his official career, fame and the world. Later, in the Song Dynasty, poetry further developed and its branches were derived. However, no matter how the poems of past dynasties are expressed, their core and development have never changed. It just lasted in a different way. Yuefu, Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuanqu ...
But poetry has developed to this day, and it seems that some things have been gradually diluted and weakened. Modern poetry has relaxed its requirements for form, meter and rhyme. Admittedly, some modern poems are really excellent, but there are still quite a few modern poems that can't be called poems, at best, they can only be said to be word games. For example, a modern poem that became popular on the Internet caused great controversy, as shown in the following figure.
Many netizens think that these words are not poems. It is unattractive to read, and this kind of poem is also called "nonsense" by netizens. True poetry is the externalization of the poet's heart, which is enough to spread meaningful character, rather than simply arranging and combining some empty words, not to mention boring piling up.
The person who wrote this poem is Zheng, whose pen name is Zheng. He was born in 1978 and 10 for two months, calling himself a "pioneer poet". He loved literature very much since he was a child, and he often skipped classes and read extracurricular books when he was studying. After dropping out of high school, he spent all day in the library. In 200 1 year, Qing Wu took advantage of the rise of online literature to set up a literary network. Nevertheless, his works have been tepid. It was not until this little poem was widely circulated on the Internet that people knew about Qing Wu.
More people doubt Qing Wu's works than praise. There are even many netizens who want to tease him. He published his own imitations, showing disdain for Qing Wu between the lines. It's not that we don't accept free and avant-garde modern poetry, but that we hope that the modern poetry we read is a work with real connotation and soul.
Mr. Lu Xun said: "Although there are two kinds of poems: watching and singing, the latter is better." In his view, there is a difference between poetry and song. However, in the modern sense, all suitable songs can be collectively called poems, but no matter how the form of suitable songs changes, the connotation of lyricism and expressiveness of poems will never change. And a real poet should also remember that emotion is the ultimate starting point of writing poetry.
