Political lyric poetry is not only a phenomenal existence through the history of Chinese new poetry, but also through the history of Chinese new literature. As the most mature form of poetry in Chinese new poetry, it can be briefly summarized into: a poetry collection, two poets, three schools or groups, and a poet Ai Qing with poetic history significance. Although there are different opinions on “literature is aesthetic ideology”, it is both reasonable and feasible to make targeted discourse comments on political lyrics in the context of aesthetic ideology, and to use aesthetic ideology to interpret political lyrics. This can be confirmed not only through the macro examination and analysis of the history of political lyric poetry, but also from the case analysis of Ai Qing.
