Ancient poetry and modern poetry are both literary forms with different characteristics and development processes.
Ancient poetry originated from China. After a long period of evolution and development, it formed a variety of different poetry styles, such as Tang poetry, Song poetry, Yuan poetry, etc. Ancient poems were usually beautiful in language, harmonious in rhythm, profound in thought, and far-reaching in artistic conception. They often expressed the author's feelings and values by describing the natural landscape, expressing feelings, and expressing the thoughts of the characters.
Modern poetry originated in the early 20th century, after the New Culture Movement, the May 4th Movement and other periods of development and change, the form and style of modern poetry was formed. Modern poetry was featured by concise language, freedom of form, and creativity, focusing on expressing the author's feelings and thoughts. Modern poetry usually uses poetic forms such as modernism, post-modernism, symbolism, expressionism, etc. There are also different schools and styles such as lyric poetry, narrative poetry, philosophical poetry, etc.
Both ancient poetry and modern poetry had their own unique characteristics and development process, each representing different literary schools and cultural traditions.
Modern poetry and ancient poetry are two different types of literature, each with its own unique characteristics and development process.
Ancient poetry originated from ancient Greek and Roman lyric poetry, which developed into modern poetry through medieval knight poetry, Renaissance essays, and romantic poetry. Modern poetry originated in the early 20th century in the United States, experienced the development of modern, post-modern and other schools, and finally reached its peak in the 1950s. The forms of modern poetry were more diverse, including free verse, short poem, long poem, narrative poem, lyric poem, etc. The theme of modern poetry was also more widely involved in society, politics, culture, nature, human nature, etc.
In contrast, modern poetry developed even more rapidly. From the 1930s, many American poets began to try to create poems with more freedom in form and content. In the 1940s and 1950s, many modern poets created the new modern poetry school by praising the theme of selfishness, anti-culture, anti-utopia, etc. In the 1960s and 1970s, poetry began to reflect on social reality and the meaning of human existence, forming the post-modern poetry school. In the 1980s and 1990s, modern poetry became more diverse, including expressionism, symbolism, expressionism-regressionism, neo-expressionism, cultural poetry, electronic poetry, etc.
Modern poetry and ancient poetry have great differences in form, content, theme and style, but they all reflect human thoughts and feelings about life, love, nature, society and so on.
Tang poetry and Song poetry were an important branch of Chinese literature history, representing the peak of ancient Chinese literature. Tang poetry and Song Ci had extremely high artistic achievements. Their poetry language was concise, the rhythm was beautiful, and the artistic conception was far-reaching. They often showed strong emotions and philosophical thinking. In the history of China, Tang poetry and Song poetry were regarded as the treasures of literature and art, which had a profound influence on the literature of later generations.
The representative works of Tang poetry and Song poetry include Li Bai's "Wine", Du Fu's "Ascending", Su Shi's "Water Melody", Xin Qiji's "Sapphire Case·Yuan Xi" and so on. These works not only have high artistic value in literature, but also have profound historical and social significance, becoming an important part of Chinese culture.
The development and inheritance of Tang poetry and Song poetry was not only an important event in the history of Chinese literature, but also an important stage in the history of Chinese culture. Through studying Tang poetry and Song Ci, we can better understand ancient Chinese literature and culture, and feel its profound historical and cultural heritage.

Chrysanthemum was one of the most important flowers in ancient Chinese culture, known as one of the "Four Gentlemen of Flowers", and one of the common images in ancient Chinese poetry.
Chrysanthemum poetry was an important form of literature in the Tang Dynasty. Many famous poets had written poems about chrysanthemums. For example, in the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's "Climbing High", there was a famous sentence,"Picking chrysanthemums and leisurely looking at Nanshan under the eastern fence", which expressed the poet's pleasant mood when picking chrysanthemums. In addition, the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's "Fu De Gu Yuan Cao Farewell" also used chrysanthemums as the theme to express the poet's love for nature.
In the Song Dynasty, chrysanthemum poems were even more popular. Many famous poets had excellent works. For example, in the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi's "Ode to the Red Cliff", there was a line: "The halberd sank into the sand, and the iron was not destroyed. If the east wind doesn't go with Zhou Lang, the bronze sparrow will lock up the two Qiao in the deep spring."The famous sentence expressed the poet's longing for history. In addition, in the Song Dynasty poet Lu You's Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake, there was also a poem: " The wild path is black with clouds, and the boat is bright with fire. At night, I send a clear stream to the Three Gorge to miss you, but I don't see you coming down to Yuzhou."The famous poem expressed the poet's love for chrysanthemums during his journey.
Chrysanthemum had an important position in ancient Chinese culture. It not only represented elegance and noble quality, but also was a poet's expression of history and nature.
Ancient style poetry, modern style poetry, and new style poetry were all general terms for ancient poetry. The difference between them lay in the language used and the way they rhyme.
Ancient Chinese poetry used more ancient Chinese to emphasize the harmony of pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm. The style of ancient poetry was bold and unrestrained, often describing natural scenery and social life. The famous ancient poems were written by Li Bai and Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty.
Modern poetry is the modern pronunciation, intonation and rhythm of Chinese. Generally speaking, modern Chinese focuses on the accuracy and norms of pronunciation, intonation and rhythm. Modern style poems were more delicate and subtle, often describing the emotions and inner world of the characters. Famous modern poems were the works of Su Shi and Xin Qiji of the Song Dynasty.
New style poetry was a new form of poetry that appeared in the early 20th century. It mainly used English and other foreign languages, focusing on the innovation of form and the improvement of performance skills. The style of the new style of poetry was more abstract and exaggerated, often describing thoughts, emotions and social problems. The famous new style of poetry included the works of the early 20th century American poet Eckbrook and other poets.
In terms of novels, the ancient novels mainly included classic works such as The Book of Songs, The Songs of Chu, and The Records of the Historian. These novels mainly described social life and historical events, focusing on the character description and plot narration.
The development of modern novels has gone through many stages, mainly including realism literature, romanticism literature, modernist literature and so on. Modern novels emphasized the narration of the plot and the psychological description of the characters, often describing the dark side of human nature and social reality.
The impact on mental health can be significant. Some winners become isolated because they don't know who to trust anymore. All the attention they get, both positive and negative, can be overwhelming. They might start to question the motives of everyone around them. And when they start to lose their money due to bad decisions or being scammed, they can fall into depression. It's a downward spiral from what was supposed to be a happy event. For instance, a winner who had a close - knit family before winning might find that the family is now fighting over the money, and this can cause deep emotional distress.
Ancient style poetry and modern style poetry were the two main schools of ancient Chinese poetry.
Archaic poetry was a type of poetry that originated in the Tang Dynasty. It was featured by concise language, easy to understand words, and usually did not have strict requirements for rhyme. There were many forms of ancient poems, including five-character poems, seven-character poems, regular poems, quatrains, etc.
Modern style poetry was a type of poetry that originated from the Song Dynasty. It was a type of poetry that required strict language, and the words and sentences had to be arranged according to a certain rhythm and word count. Modern poetry had various forms, including five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains, regulated poems, and lined poems.
Ancient style poetry and modern style poetry have great differences in language style, rhythm and meter. Although their origins and development processes are different, they have left us a rich cultural heritage that is widely praised and studied.
