The Pilgrimage of Poetry

From the Book of Songs, poetry is beautiful writing and innocent thoughts. From the perspective of Chu Ci, poetry is a gorgeous story and a personal lament for home and country. Judging from the ancient poetry of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, poems can be long or short, depending on personal likes and dislikes. From the point of view of the verses and quatrains, the poem has a style and should not be approached if it is annoying. From the perspective of Song lyrics and Yuan music, poetry has no fixed format and can be used as you wish. So it can be roughly defined that poetry is a kind of concise and beautiful writing that expresses a certain meaning. Beautiful writing is the foundation. If it is not beautiful writing, poetry cannot be established. But beauty is also a very broad word. But we can summarize these beauties in some basic antitheses. Simple, gorgeous; simple, magnificent; daily, temple, etc. Scenery is the auxiliary, and people are the core. Looking at ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, people are the absolute core of all famous works, and scenery is of course the best auxiliary. So where is the necessity for the existence of modern poetry? Exquisite. The ancient poetry is as precious as gold, and most of the words such as, , and ah have been selectively eliminated. The use of these words reflects the delicacy of modern poetry in form. Delicacy is the foundation of modern poetry. Poetry is essentially a field of humanities. In ancient times, apart from the absence of the theory of relativity and the principles of Newtonian mechanics and other natural sciences, the ancients were already quite perfect in the field of humanities. Therefore, there is not much difference between ancient and modern people in the writing field that poetry faces. We modern people need to learn from the wisdom of the ancients, their five thousand years of experience, and the realm of heaven and humanity. Sublimity, greatness, spirituality, Zen enlightenment, etc., Modern poetry reaches their realm through a small thing. Modern poetry is always on the way, and we work hard together. . . .
