Features: "The Nine-Leaf Collection" is a collection of works by nine poets, including Xin Di (Wang Xindi), Chen Jingrong, Du Yunxie, Hang Yuehe (Cao Xinzhi), Zheng Min, Tang Qi, Tang Shi, Yuan Keda, and Mu Dan (Zha Liangzheng). The creative works of these nine poets in the "Nationalist-controlled area" poetic circle during the 1940s were regarded by the history of modern Chinese poetry as a relatively mature poetic school due to their relatively close integration of Chinese classical poetry and Western modern poetic styles, relatively similar quiet and serious poetic pursuits, relatively consistent progressive political stance against the "Nationalist-controlled area," and relatively concentrated poetic platforms such as Shi Chuangzao and China Xinpao. However, before the publication of this book, the works of these nine poets had never been collected together into a single volume due to the reasons of the times and individual circumstances.
