Similarities and differences between classicism and neoclassicism

Different:

1, with different emphasis. Classicism holds that "to succeed in writing, reason is the beginning and source". Classicism emphasizes rationality. Neoclassicism, on the other hand, replaces the writer's personal judgment with feudal rational judgment and emphasizes judgment.

2. Different perceptions of nature. Classicism holds that nature refers to the objective reality of people's lives. Neo-classicism holds that nature refers to things that conform to common sense, especially human nature that conforms to common sense.

Same:

1, all advocate imitating classicism. The classical Flag with Greece as a model is for Roman literature and art that can rival the military achievements of Roman nobles. The flag of ancient Greece and Rome raised by neoclassicism aims to standardize French literature and art, and make French literature and art, like the literature and art of the Roman Empire, become a brilliant literature and art worthy of the great cause of the "Sun Dynasty".

2. Both emphasize the poet's moral cultivation. Classicism requires poets to be virtuous, knowledgeable, brilliant and have a serious and responsible creative attitude. Neoclassicism also believes that a writer should pay attention to moral self-improvement, not only respect and love himself in personality, but also cultivate his healthy aesthetic taste.
