Features: He was once ranked among Taiwan's top ten outstanding poets, and was called by the renowned American poet Gary Luxemburg as "a bridge between American modernism and the traditional Chinese poetic art." He writes poetry and also research papers; he is both a famous poet and an outstanding theorist; his poetry is imbued with a strong sense of classical Chinese poetry, blending the legacy of 1930s and 1940s Chinese modernist poetry and inheriting the expressive strategies of Western poetry since symbolism; his contributions to Chinese Taoist aesthetics, classical poetics, comparative literature, and Sino-Western comparative poetics remain unmatched to this day; his critiques of Chinese modern fiction and modern poetry are also insightful, thought-provoking, and highly creative. He is Ye Weilian. Let us enter into Ye Weilian, understand Ye Weilian—this book is the fourth volume of Ye Weilian's collected works. This volume discusses the emergence of Chinese modern art, containing dialogues with contemporary artists and essays, including 16 articles such as "The Intersection and Transformation of Tradition and Modernity in Wang Wuxie's Paintings" and "Thoughts on Cloud Mountains and Abstraction."
