How to appreciate children's poetry

The appreciation of children's poetry can be carried out from its characteristics. Children's poetry has five characteristics: full of emotion, rich imagination, ingenious conception, childlike language and beautiful artistic conception.

1, deeply touched

Because of the particularity of readers, children's poetry requires that the emotions of poetry must come from the depths of children's hearts and vividly convey children's beautiful emotions, kind wishes and interesting feelings, in order to arouse the emotional resonance of young readers.

Children's emotions expressed in children's poems are often full of children's interests, which not only can make children get care and pleasure from them, but also can bring adult readers back to the scene of budding childlike innocence and relive their childhood dreams.

It should be noted that children's interest in children's poetry is an internal factor in children's life, and only children's poets can find and vividly describe it, rather than a blunt and external component.

2. Rich imagination

Children are the most imaginative and associative. They are good at understanding and interpreting everything in the world with their creative imagination. In their imaginary poetic world, flowers will laugh, birds will sing, grass will jump and fish will say.

Therefore, children's poetry is to create a beautiful artistic conception that is in line with children's psychology and rich in imagination, to show children's innocence and childlike interest, and to let children expand their imagination and understand the theme of poetry in a wonderful and colorful world. This requires the appreciator of children's poetry to talk with children in the imaginary world.

3. New ideas

The emotion expressed in children's poems is far less profound than that expressed in adult poems, which is determined by children's emotional characteristics. However, the reason why children's poetry can express interest on a less broad emotional level and create a unique expression effect mainly depends on the novelty and ingenuity of conception.

This conception, which depends on the accumulation of life and children's imagination, largely determines the artistic level of children's poetry. Therefore, to appreciate children's poems, we should be good at excavating their ingenious ideas.

4. Language childlike interest

In the beautiful language of children's poetry, in addition to the accurate and appropriate tempering of words, the sound rhythm of poetry should be musical, that is, the rhyme of poetry should have aesthetic effect. The musicality of children's poetry is mainly manifested in rhyme and rhythm. Through the change of rhyme and the patchwork of sentence patterns, children of different ages are taken into account, and at the same time, the whole poem has a strong sense of music and rhythm, forming a neat aesthetic feeling.

5. Beautiful artistic conception

The combination of emotion and image constitutes the artistic conception of poetry. Children's poetry aims to create a childlike and beautiful artistic conception. People often say "scene blending", that is, the feelings of poetry should be attached to images. Children's poems usually implicitly express real children's feelings through images, and have a childish and beautiful artistic conception.

Extended data

The appreciation of children's poetry can also start with classification. As far as the means of expression are concerned, children's poetry can be divided into lyric poetry and narrative poetry. From the perspective of rhyme and line, it can be divided into two categories: rhythmic poetry and prose poetry.

However, due to the wide coverage of children's poetry, other styles and contents of children's literature are often included in the shell of poetry. Therefore, children's poems can also be divided into fairy tale poems, fable poems, science poems, story poems, satirical poems, painting poems and so on. When appreciating children's poems, we can introduce their poetry categories appropriately, and then analyze their poetry characteristics.

1, lyric poetry

Lyric poetry is a literary style in which the author directly expresses his inner thoughts and feelings in the tone of the protagonist and forms images. Generally speaking, this kind of poetry does not express the mind according to the actions or stories of the characters, nor does it completely describe the characters, but directly reveals the soul of the lyric hero, with obvious self-color. Adolescent children are more inclined to this literary style with the most lyrical personality.

2. Narrative poetry

Narrative poetry is a literary style that uses the language of poetry to express the relationship between characters or events through specific life scenes, create a beautiful artistic conception and truly express emotions. Narrative poems mostly rely on the plot or characters to start the preface, but it does not necessarily require the completeness of the plot. The plot structure allows a big jump, which is to express people and things with strong poetry.

The famous poet Guo Xiaochuan once said that "strangeness, beauty and emotion" are "what a good narrative poem needs" because children like to read narrative poems with characters and plots. "Strange" refers to the ingenious plot arrangement in narrative poems; "Beauty" means that poetry should form a beautiful artistic conception, with concise language and vivid image; "Emotion" means that poetry is full of emotion and interest.

3. Fairy tales

Fairy tale poetry is a work that tells fairy tale (or legend) stories full of fantasy and exaggeration in the form of poetry. It is a combination of fairy tales and poems. Fairy tale poetry is usually regarded as a unique style of children's poetry. At the same time, it is a popular literary style for preschool children and preschool children. A poet said: "I often think that poetry should be full of the fantasy color of fairy tales, and I often think that the fantasy fairy tale world should have the meaning of poetry." I love fairy tales, and I love fairy tales. "(Zhang Qiusheng)

4. Fable poetry

Allegory poetry, also known as poetic fable, is characterized by vivid implication and thought-provoking (philosophy or lesson), and is a poem narrated in the form of fable. La Fontaine in France17th century and krylov in Russia19th century both wrote a large number of fable poems which were deeply loved by children. The Fly on the Train by Gao Hongbo, a contemporary writer in China, and The Snail in Relation by Zhang Qiusheng are both representative works.

Step 5 be sarcastic

Satire is a humorous children's poem, which suggests and criticizes some unhealthy phenomena in children's lives by metaphor and exaggeration, and guides children to introspect. This kind of poem either directly describes the child's wrong behavior and consequences, or mentions one or two shortcomings of the child, or deliberately exaggerates the child's bad habits and ridiculous endings, so that the child can see himself in a smile and be inspired and alert.

There are obvious differences between children's satirical poems and general satirical poems. The satirical object in children's poems is children, so most of them are well-meaning, euphemistic and mild satire. It is different from ordinary satirical poems, and it is mostly aimed at some abnormal phenomena in social life, some people's misdeeds or the acrimony of the enemy. It is incisive and even has no room for manoeuvre.

6. Prose poetry

Prose poetry is a style between poetry and prose, which has the artistic conception of poetry and the form of prose. It pays attention to the rhythm of nature and the beauty of music. It is short and often full of philosophy. Like prose, it doesn't branch or rhyme. For example, Guo Feng's "Let's Sing White Clouds, Galaxy ..." is a group of exquisite prose poems. In addition, Tagore, a great Indian poet, also wrote many excellent children's prose poems, such as Golden Flower, Paper Boat, School of Flowers, When I Give You Colored Toys and so on.

7. Absurd poetry

Children's absurd poetry is a combination of avant-garde absurd poetry and traditional children's poetry, aiming at inspiring children's readers' infinite imagination and creativity. His works are absurd, fairy tale, interesting and exaggerated, which opens up a new way of writing for children's poetry in the field of original writing. The founder of children's absurd poetry is Mr. You Yun, an absurd poet. His representative works include the short poem Air crash and the long poem The Old Man under the Moon.

8. Science Poetry

Sci-tech poetry refers to sci-tech literary works written in the form of poetry. It is characterized by expressing scientific spirit, scientific phenomena and scientific laws. For example, In the Sun, Defending the Weasel by Li and Sister in the Sun are all excellent works.

9. Recite poems

It is characterized by being suitable for children to recite. In order to meet the needs of reciting, more attention is paid to colloquialism in vocabulary use and sentence structure. Such as Nostalgia, Sorry Dad by Gao Hongbo, Love Life by LULU, Poem Recitation by Teng, Song of Young Heroes, Song of Hope, etc.

10, painting poems
