Features: Feng Zhi's poetry stems from reflections on life. It may be inspired by a real scene, a tangled emotion, or a philosophical thought that lingers and cannot be dispelled. All these are vaporized from his own life, marked by unique imagination. Feng Zhi's writing style, which emerges after long accumulation, rises and falls, with peaks and troughs, naturally dividing his poetry into four periods: the "Yesterday's Song" period in the early 1920s, the "North Journey and Others" period in the middle and late 1920s, the "Sonnets" period in the early 1940s, and the new period dominated by the 1980s. This book arranges his poems in this order, thereby revealing the essence and context of his literature. Feng Zhi's poetry is subtle and profound, displaying ingenuity amidst simplicity, and was praised by Lu Xun as "China's most outstanding lyrical poet." His lyrical and narrative poems on love often create beautiful imagery and emotions amidst dramatic twists, with delicate, sincere, and moving expressions. Many of his poems carry a tragic hue, shrouded in a faint sorrow that stirs the soul and lingers in thought. In terms of language, he pays meticulous attention to word choice and rhyme, with a melodic rhythm that is slow and gentle. His stanza forms maintain naturalness within a sense of order. This book collects dozens of his representative works, including his well-known masterpieces such as "The Snake," "The Green-Clothed Man," and "Wu Zixu."
