How did the "Poetry Revolution" develop?
The "Poetry Revolution" is a poetry reform movement advocated by the bourgeois reformists, which lasted until after the Reform Movement of 1898. Early advocates included Xia Cengyou, Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao. From 65438 to 0899, Liang Qichao formally put forward the slogan of "revolution in the field of poetry" and advocated the writing of new poetry, namely, "new artistic conception", "new sentences" and "entering it with the wind of the ancients" Liang Qichao and others emphasized keeping the old style, and the two were tied together, which made it difficult for the revolution to advance in depth, resulting in the problem that the content of poetry was limited, making it just a new wine in an old bottle. It has made some progress in the reform of China's classical poetry, but its achievements are limited. Poetry is the pure and lofty spiritual home of China literati in the past dynasties, and it is also the root of China culture. China's cultural tradition is Confucian culture based on farming civilization. It is closely related to this tradition that China culture is a "poetic culture". Poetry occupies an important position in Confucian culture. The Book of Songs edited by Confucius is the earliest collection of poems. "Three hundred poems in one word, thinking innocently" is taken from the Analects of Confucius, governing the country. From The Book of Songs to Songs of the South to Yuefu, from Tang and Song Poetry to Yuan Qu, and then to modern poetry, although the metrical form of poetry keeps pace with the times, poetry has always occupied a dominant position in China's art treasure house, and has exerted a subtle influence on other art forms that emerged later. The spirit of poetry permeates the spiritual life of China people and dominates the spiritual world of China's art. Whenever, we pay attention to "painting in poetry and poetry in painting". The weather in the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and all countries came to North Korea. There is a saying that "Li Bai embroidered the mouth half of the Tang Dynasty", and the weather in the Tang Dynasty came out in this poem. Westerners regard the Bible as a guide to life, while China observes life through poetry. Scholars and poets of all ages pursued the ideal realm in their poems and realized the philosophy of life in their poems. Poetry contains the way of doing things and the wisdom of being a man in China. Therefore, in this sense, it is no exaggeration to say that traditional China is a "country of poetry". Source: Theatre
