Features: Modern Poetry, born in a period of rapid social changes and unprecedented national crises in China. It carries the distinct characteristics of this historical era and has left an extremely brilliant chapter in the development of Chinese classical poetry. From the Opium War in 1840 to the nearly seventy years of modern China, it was a time when the long feudal society gradually transformed into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. In the prelude to the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty had already become corrupt and declining. After the Opium War, the brutal invasion of Western colonial powers pushed the Chinese nation into the depths of disaster. The frenzied plunder and brutal oppression of the Chinese people by foreign invaders, coupled with the Qing Dynasty's traitorous policy of surrender and the intensification of internal suppression, ignited the anger and resistance of the Chinese people and inspired countless patriotic souls with the desire to save the nation and strengthen it.
