Features: The emergence and development of modern Chinese literature in the 20th century benefited from the absorption of exotic literary nutrients, with the translation of foreign poetry being the most prominent part of this process. From Homer's epics to Ginsberg's Howl, from Dante's The Divine Comedy to Eliot's The Waste Land, countless outstanding poetic works, through the nurturing efforts of translators, have played an indispensable role in inspiring emotions and enlightening poetic art for generations of Chinese readers and writers in the 20th and 21st centuries. To a certain extent, without translated poetry, there would be no modern Chinese poetry.
