On Poetry Music

Is New Chinese poetry there music? Mention of New Chinese poetry, people love to compare it with ancient Chinese poem, think New Chinese poetry there is no harmony rhythm. I think this is a misunderstanding of New Chinese poetry. The reason is the psychological set of ancient poetry preconceived situation. Ancient Chinese poetry, handed down from ancient China, is the essence of a thousand year. But the history of New Chinese poetry is less than a hundred year. "Poetics", a book written by Zhu guang qian, considers music of poetry performs through the rhythm and harmony. Here he mainly refers to ancient poetry. Inspired by this, I think the music of New Chinese poetry also performs through the rhythm and harmony. But New Chinese Poetry Language has its own rhythm and harmony. New Chinese Poetry is different from the normal language rhythm, the rhythm of New Chinese poetry combines the normal language rhythm and a number of musical rhythm. The rhythm of New Chinese poetry primarily performs through pause and rhyme. On the pause of New Chinese poetry, the pause of meaning is main, the pause of sound is secondary; on rhyme of New Chinese poetry, New Chinese poetry should rhyme, but rhyme is broader. The harmony of New Chinese poetry performs that New Chinese poetry language itself conveys a voice. The voice can convey the musical. Some poets and theorists, who come from "the third generation poetry", broach a few music theories. Such as "the particular music derived from words" (Huang can ran), "particular voice"(Xi du) and "sense of language"(Yu jian), these theories showed the harmonious features of New Chinese poetry. In New Chinese poetry, there is also alliteration and assonance, overlapping words, repeated use of such poetry. They can convey the harmony. Simply speaking, the music of New Chinese poetry performs through pause, rhyme and the particular music derived from words.Jacobson, who is a Russian formalist, thinks the most crucial thing, that makes literature as literature, is〝Litera turmost〞. It is the principles and construction techniques. Ransom, who is a New Critic, considers the principles and techniques of literature as a conclusive evidence of literature exists. From that perspective, I believe that the music of New Chinese poetry is a conclusive evidence of New poetry exists. Music of New Chinese poetry is life of New Chinese poetry. In addition,〝Ostranenie〞of New Chinese poetry language requires the music of New Chinese poetry. Music of New Chinese poetry language is "strange" to normal language. It calls for New Chinese poetry to have the appropriate symmetry, have rough rhyme, New Chinese poetry language itself must be able to convey a particular voice.
