"Three beauties" is the new poetry proposition of the Crescent School, and Wen Yiduo put forward "three beauties", namely "the beauty of music, painting and architecture", which laid the theoretical foundation of the new metrical poetry school. To a certain extent, it overcame and corrected the shortcomings of rambling vernacular poetry since the May 4th Movement, and made a unique contribution to the healthy development of modern poetry in China.

Specifically, "the beauty of music" emphasizes "there are scales, levels and rhymes"; "Beauty of painting" emphasizes that the choice of words should be beautiful, vivid and colorful; Every poem can form an independent picture. "Architectural beauty" emphasizes "symmetry of nodes and unity of sentences". Its main purpose is to have beauty in the content and form of poetry.
