Mr. Zhu Guangqian believes: "The essence of poetry is the emotion expressed by language, and the form is the language revealed by emotion." Language is a tool to express thoughts and feelings, and the form of language is actually the externalization of the poet's ideological character and a life form of the poet. People are both natural people and social people, and their thoughts and personalities are branded with the imprint of the times. Therefore, poetry has different forms of existence in different periods and different environments.
