Modern poetry is poetry since the May 4th Movement. Its main body is new poetry written in vernacular, with the main symbol of breaking the rhythm of old poetry. The earliest magazine to experiment and advocate new poetry was "New Youth". Eight vernacular poems by Hu Shi were published in Volume 2, Issue 6, February 1917. In 1920, Hu Shi's "Attempt Collection" was published, which was the first collection of new poetry in vernacular. The person who represented the highest achievement of early new poetry was the romantic poet Guo Moruo, whose "The Goddess" "Most of the works were written around 1920, conveying the spirit of the times of the May Fourth Movement and creating a generation of poetry.
In 1926, around the "Poetry" of Beijing's "Morning News", a group of determined people gathered together Poets who wanted to create rhythms for new poems included Wen Yiduo, Xu Zhimo, Zhu Xiang and others. They later founded "Crescent Moon" and "Poetry Magazine", from which the "Crescent Moon School" got its name. Crescent School Among the poets, Wen Yiduo had the most complete and clear theory. He advocated that poetry should have the beauty of music (mainly referring to the rhythm and rhyme), the beauty of painting (mainly referring to the vocabulary, color and artistic conception, etc.), and the beauty of architecture (mainly referring to the verses and verses). (The style is well-proportioned and well-organized). In short, we must "rationally control emotions" and "dance" with "shackles". This is a higher aesthetic requirement for poets.
The "Important Town" of the "Crescent School" In addition to Xu Zhimo, there is also Wen Yiduo. Wen You has poetry collections "Red Candle" and "Dead Water". "Dead Water" implements the pursuit of "three beauties", with the beauty of imagination, the harmony of rhythm, the neatness of format and the vividness of colors. Among them, the poem "Dead Water" uses "Dead Water" as a symbol of the decaying society of old China, expressing ridicule and anger towards the unreasonable reality. Wen Yiduo's poems emphasize artistic refinement and are filled with strong patriotic feelings. < /p>

It is characterized by closely reflecting the changes of the times, expressing revolutionary passion, pursuing popularization and generalization of form, and pursuing strong and powerful force.
