Features: "Red Candle! Not in vain, not in vain! It was meant to 'burn' out your light—this is the natural method." Excerpted from the Preface Poem of "Red Candle" by Wen Yiduo. The construction of modern Chinese poetry formed through the tension between inheriting and optimizing traditional poetry and borrowing and domesticating Western poetry. In other words, modern Chinese poetry achieved its own adjustment and reconstruction through continuous collision, exchange, and mutual permeation at the intersection of literary trends in ancient and modern China and the world. This work thoroughly studies and organizes the complex phenomena and developmental context of modern Chinese poetry. At the same time, it combines case analysis with poetics theory criticism, fully affirming the achievements of modern Chinese poetry's development. The author's arguments are well-substantiated, with clear, unique, and enlightening perspectives, profoundly revealing the developmental laws and future direction of modern poetry.
