Ye Zhi's father was a painter who was influenced by the pre-Raphael school. He passed on the concept of "beautiful religion" and his aesthetic interest in romantic literature and art to Ye Zhi. For Ye Zhi, romanticism seems to be the destination of his poetry creation. In the experiment of poetry creation, he put himself in the romantic tradition initiated by Blake and Shelley and publicly declared: "I don't read anything except romantic literature;" I hate the dry rhetoric of the eighteenth century. "
