Features: The author employs a comparative approach that combines a vertical contrast between classical and modern literature with a horizontal comparison between Chinese and Western literature. This book offers insightful and unique arguments on controversial issues such as why new poetry is "new," why old poetry is "old," the inheritance and development of new poetry from old poetry, and the artistic techniques of new poetry. Additionally, it provides in-depth yet accessible artistic critiques of renowned works and authors since the May Fourth Movement.
