Features: Among the various forms of modern Chinese literature, modern New Poetry has been most profoundly influenced by Western modernist literary trends, achieving the most significant results. Compared to realism and romanticism, the modernist poetic movement in China has had a more enduring and profound impact on the field of modern Chinese poetry. It simultaneously fulfills the dual requirements of China's modern poetry—rebellious against tradition and integrating into the global literary trend. This book systematically organizes and comments on Chinese modernist poetics from the perspectives of poetic history and poetic aesthetics, using history as a thread to connect individual poetic cases and thematic discussions. The arguments are extensive and insightful, demonstrating considerable academic creativity. Through a cross-complementary three-dimensional structure, it provides a relatively comprehensive yet focused textual study of Chinese modernist poetics.
