Features: This book is a work by the author on modern Chinese poets and literary schools. The main focus is on in-depth studies of individual poets, supplemented by comprehensive research on poets of specific historical periods. It emphasizes the study of each poet from the perspective of literary history, proposing arguments and opinions distinct from previous scholars and striving to substantiate them with solid evidence. The book examines over ten poets such as Guo Moruo and Wen Yiduo, yet the author endeavors to present fresh and persuasive insights, free from the influence of existing viewpoints. With the "historical insight" expected of a researcher, the author speaks the truth, tells the facts, and expresses opinions directly—without hiding the truth or resorting to ambiguity. Everything is discussed based on the author's own understanding, which is a distinctive feature of the book.
