The Literary Styles of Several Modern Poets in China

Xu Zhimo: His poems and essays are full of ideals and enthusiasm, which not only have the characteristics of China classical literature, but also integrate the strengths of western literature. Poetry combines China classicism with western romanticism, femininity and verve, and pays attention to the syllables, words and feelings of poetry. People call it the school of metrical poetry.

Wen Yiduo: He created new poems with aesthetic inclination and rich style, full of patriotic passion, democratic spirit, optimism and youthful vitality. His poems are the fusion of Chinese and western cultures, rich in emotion, concise in language and rigorous in meter, with strong popularity, militancy and modernity and profound aesthetic value.

Hu Shi: As the first poet in China to write poems in vernacular, Hu Shi's poems are fresh and fluent, and quite elegant.

Feng Zhi: His prose is implicit and vivid, his novels are full of poetry, his academic works are unpretentious, and his language is fluent and euphemistic, which is in the same strain as his lyric poems. On the basis of inheriting and maintaining China's literary and artistic traditions, he learned western skills and pursued a sculpture or painting-like style in his poems and essays, which achieved great success. He consciously pursued the suggestibility, musicality and expressiveness of words, and created a new world in strengthening the flexibility and spatiality of Chinese.

Dai Wangshu: In his early days, he combined China's poetic style with western poetic style, used a lot of symbolic images, skillfully combined emotion with scenery, and integrated modern expression techniques with classical poetic art to pursue rhythm, which enabled readers to produce * * * songs through their own association and received unexpected results. The later period is the mature period of his poetic art, forming a simple and cordial poetic style. Finally, after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Dai Wangshu went to Hong Kong to engage in anti-Japanese literary activities. Unfortunately, he was arrested and imprisoned, wrote poems, showed national integrity, and expressed his sincere love for the troubled motherland.

Ai Qing: Ai Qing's poems give up the rhyme of classical poetry, follow the rhythm of modern life and have a relatively free structural form. Good at using image art to express lyric image. He recorded many facts with a pen, and his writing was simple and natural, which clearly expressed his thinking about the world.

He Qifang: Early poetry is exquisite in art and colorful, and is famous for its freshness and softness. After participating in the revolution, poetry became simple, optimistic and bold.
