How to improve your ability to appreciate ancient poetry

1. Read more appreciation articles by famous writers. For example, "Tang Poetry Appreciation Dictionary" is very good. The poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties taught by teacher Ye Jiaying is even more excellent.

2. Read more works by great writers of the past and some outstanding works in history. Writers such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Qingzhao, Liu Yong, Xin Qiji, etc. should be read widely. Excellent works such as "Three Hundred Tang Poems", "Three Hundred Song Ci Poems", "Selected Yuefu Poems", etc. must be read. If you are a student of the Chinese Department, then the anthology you have been given is the most suitable reading book.

3. Strengthen theoretical cultivation. Study excellent literary theories at home and abroad. For example, you are familiar with theories such as New Criticism, Codexology, Feminism, Textual Criticism, Rhetoric, and Social Criticism. If you are not familiar with it, I suggest you study "Literary Theory Tutorial" carefully.

4. Subscribe to magazines. The first half-month edition of "Appreciation of Masterworks" is all about appreciation of literature. You can read it carefully. If you don't subscribe to "Knowledge of Literature and History", you will regret it. If you have a good foundation, you can also subscribe to "Research on Ancient Chinese Literature from National People's Congress Photocopied Materials". This is very professional, so you should do what you can.

5. Strengthen Chinese language grammar. In-depth study of phonemes, morphemes, vocabulary, sentence patterns, rhetoric, expression techniques, expression skills, etc. is required.

6. Write more about your experiences. If you have it, write it down.
