I know Hu Shi's old style poems.
-
After the publication of Hu Shih's Collected Attempts (March 1920), this genre of poetry written in plain vernacular was called"Hu Shi's body"。Later,"Hu Shi's body"It is also used to refer to his vernacular style that is simple and popular, as clear as words, so it is all the rage. The basic style of this style has changed little in Hu Shih's later prose writing, and it is basically the same.
-
Hu Shi's poems have been called by literary historians"Hu Shi's body"。 "Hu Shi's body"The pursuit of speaking clearly and clearly, the artistic conception should be plain, resulting in language style"Picturesque"As a result, it is simple and clumsy, the materials should be plain or even casual, and the poetic structure should be free and even scattered. Although Hu Shi does not directly talk about his poems, he has a whole article "Talk"Hu Shi's body"of the poems", from which of course can be read his criteria.

First, speak clearly and clearly. Second, the materials used should be tailored; Third, the artistic conception should be plain. Hu Shi himself explained, "I always feel that the realm of 'plain', 'subtle', and 'distant' is the most worthy of chewing and appreciating. 'Plain' is just to say the usual honest, 'subtle' is just to talk and leave a little aftertaste, 'faint' is just not to say too much, not to say 'thick and can't be opened', only sparse and faint to draw a few strokes.
Hu Shi's ideas on new poetry can reflect his personal aesthetic taste and the development trajectory of early vernacular new poetry. Whether it is the substitution of plain and simple colloquialisms for the so-called "poetic words" such as "Fenghua Xueyue, Emei, Yinhan", etc., or the inclusion of reasoning, narrative and other factors in the poems, the reaction to the general norms of "poetic beauty" has indeed brought fresh vitality and historical tolerance to the early new poems, and has become a common shared tendency among the new poets, so that in the eyes of later generations, "non-poeticization" has become the basic feature of the early new poems represented by the "Experimental Collection". Hu Shi's theory of "the great emancipation of poetry" and his proposition of vernacular poetry conformed to the needs of the development of the times and had a profound impact on the development of new poetry in the future.

The language of the new literature is vernacular, and the style of the new literature is free and eclectic. At first glance, this is all a matter of "literary form", which is not important. But they don't know that form and content are closely related.
The constraints of form make it impossible for the spirit to develop freely and for good content to be fully expressed. If you want to have a new content and a new spirit, you must first break the shackles and shackles that bind the spirit. Therefore, China's New Poetry Movement this year can be regarded as a kind of "great liberation of poetry".
Because of the liberation of this layer of poetry, rich materials, precise observations, profound ideals, and complex feelings can run into poetry. A five-seven-word and eight-sentence poem must not contain rich materials, a quatrain of 28 characters must not contain precise observations, and a certain length of seven words and five words must not euphemistically convey profound ideals and complex feelings.

The earliest poems should be passed on by word of mouth, after the text was produced, it was recorded on the tortoiseshell animal bones, and later recorded on bamboo slips and cloth, and after the invention of papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was written on paper. After the invention of printing in the Song Dynasty, it was printed and distributed in large quantities. The ancient poems that have been handed down to the present are mainly recorded in ancient books, and a small number are recorded on the silk of the turtle shell animal bones and bamboo slips unearthed by archaeology.
