什麼是新詩

什麼是新詩？新詩和舊詩有什麼分別？到底新詩有沒有所謂格式呢？初寫詩的年青人常常心裏有這個疑團。

用現代漢語創作的詩體

有 人認為詩無分新舊，只分優劣；這句話在廣泛的文學評論角度是對的。其實，「新詩」之名，是相對於舊詩而言，舊詩，即五四運動白話被廣泛使用之前所產生的韻 文體，當中包括近體詩(即絕詩和律詩)、古體詩及古典詞曲，用語以單音節詞為主，講求平仄押韻，每句的字數也有一定的限制；新詩，就是由新文學運動發展所 產生的白話詩，期間經過三、四十年代的格律詩(試圖用白話寫一些有格律的詩)、六十年代台灣的現代詩(詩多用較隱晦艱深的意象，詞與詞之間的邏輯距離較 遠)等調整和革新，發展至今，一般均以新詩來統稱所有不在舊詩體模式下、用現代漢語創作的詩體。

把新詩和舊詩劃分清楚

新 詩的出現，既然是文學發展和形式演變的結果，年青作者在進行創作時，便有需要把新詩和舊詩劃分清楚，至少自己要意識到自己在以什麼類型的詩體來創作甚麼， 要作舊體詩的話，就必須當中的寫作規律，如每句的字數，哪一句必須押韻，平仄如何排列等。寫作新詩，就不用受舊詩的句式所左右，而在於集中掌握如何在現代 漢語的語境下發現詩的語言，千萬別寫些既不合舊詩體統、又承襲大量文言和格律的不倫不類的新詩。(關於這種不倫不類的詩，可看下一篇「新酒怎能裝在舊 瓶」。)

擺脫形式上的限制

傳 統的文學分類以韻文和非韻文來劃分詩與散文，所以一般人印象中以為詩必須押韻，但詩這種文類發展到二十一世紀，無論漢語或英語語系，大部分詩作早已擺脫形 式上的限制，成為不受格律約束的自由詩體，換言之，我們寫新詩時不能再以押韻作為首要的任務，或單純以為必須押韻才是詩。事實上，舊詩在中國文學發展了超 過二千年，優點亦發揮到極置，後人亦難於超越，再加上格律傳習太久，逐漸流於僵化，無法完全承載生活在現代環境的現代詩人所要面對的衝擊，詩人只可以自由 的新詩尋找新的語言藝術和創新的呈現模式。

保留詩的語言特質

話 雖如此，新詩在沒有指定的格式和句法之餘，卻有其內在的韻律節奏和語言特質的要求。它與舊詩一樣，都需要有詩的語言特質，因為詩是使用語言的藝術，不但講 求語言的美感、意象的運用，它展示了語言無限的想像與藝術可能，同時是心靈意象化的呈現。換言之，新詩是用現代的語言藝術，呈現現代的思緒和意境，是現代 生活的載體。

新詩，又稱新體詩，興起於五四時期，以與古（體）詩有所區別。古詩多需押韻，部分需符合一定平仄和對仗，而新詩完全不受押韻、平仄和對仗之規範，只保留意象精鍊的特性，創作方式極其自由。

What is new poetry

What is new poetry? Poetry and old-style poetry what is the difference? Poetry in the end there is no such thing as format it? Hearts of young people are often the beginning of poetry have doubts.

With the language of modern Chinese

Some people think that poetry without distinction of old and new, only to pros and cons; this sentence in a broad perspective of literary criticism is right. In fact, the "New Poetry" in name, as opposed to old-style poetry, the old-style poetry, that is, 54 is widely used vernacular movement arising prior to rhyme style, which includes nearly poetry (that is, absolutely poetry and Poems), the ancient poetry and classical songs, the words in a single syllable words the main stress Pingze rhyming, words in each sentence there are certain restrictions; poetry, that is, the new literary movement generated by the development of vernacular poetry, during three to four decades on behalf of the metrical poetry (trying to use the vernacular to write some metrical poetry), Taiwan's Modern Poetry in the sixties (poetry more difficult to use more subtle imagery, words and the logical distance between the words) and so on adjustment and innovation and the development so far, generally are referred to all those not old-style poetry poetry to body model Under the modern Chinese poem body.

The delineation of the poetry and the old-style poetry

The emergence of new poetry, since it is the form of literary development and the evolution of the results, the young author is creative, it is necessary to the delineation of new poetry and old-style poetry, or at least they have to recognize that they are on what type of verse to create anything, to make classical poetry, then it must be written among the laws, such as the words in each sentence, Na Yiju must be rhymes, Pingze how they are arranged so. Writing poetry, and the sentence would not be influenced by the old-style poetry, but rather focus on how to master the Context of Modern Chinese language found in poetry, please do not write is neither old-style poetry decency, but also inherited a large number of classical Chinese poetry and the rhyme of the far-fetched. (On this nondescript poetry can be Kanxia a "new wine in old bottle How can install.")

From the formal constraints

Traditional literary categories to verse and non-verse poetry and prose to divide, so the general impression that poetry must rhyme, but the poetry of this genre developed to the twenty-first century, whether Chinese or English language, most of the poems has long been out of form constraints, a constraint is not metrical free verse, in other words, we write poetry when you can no longer rhyme as a primary task, or simply that they must rhyme is poetry. In fact, the old-style poetry in Chinese literature developed over more than millennium, advantages also play into the very home, and their descendants be difficult to go beyond, combined with metrical Chuanxi too long, gradually tend to be rigid and can not fully carry to live in a modern environment to be a modern poet the face of the impact, the poet's poetry can only be free to find new language arts and innovative rendering model.

To retain the language of poetry characteristics
Having said that, poetry is not specified in the format and syntax aside, there are inherent qualities of the rhythm rhythm and language requirements. It is the same as with the old-style poetry, the language of poetry needs to have character, because poetry is the use of language arts, not only emphasizes the beauty of language, imagery, use of, it shows the language's imagination and artistic potential, while image-based rendering of the soul. In other words, poetry is the language of contemporary art, showing the modern thoughts and the mood, is the carrier of modern life.

New Poetry, also known as the new body of poetry, the rise in the 54 period, with the old (body) poetry differ. Poems must rhyme over, some need to meet certain Pingze and parallelism, but not subject to any rhyming poetry, Ping Ze and the antithesis of the norm, leaving only the image of refined features, his creative style is freedom.
