What are the characteristics of Bian's poems?

Bian was initially influenced by the "Crescent School", but she soon became a modern poetic style. In his early poems, he mostly wrote about the life of the lower class and explored the universe and philosophy of life. Focusing on "I", Bian combines traditional artistic conception with western novels, typical and impersonal drama situations, and combines traditional implication with western suggestibility and intimacy, forming "surprise in plain" and "cynicism in cold face", and his poems show a tendency of "impersonality" to deliberately restrain self-emotional expression and pursue speculative beauty. In terms of language, he pursues the integration of Europeanized vocabulary and syntax with China's classical vocabulary and syntax on the basis of spoken language. In addition, most of his poems are obscure because they emphasize the creation of images and omit connections.

Bian's new poems widely absorbed the nutrition of China's ancient poems and western modernist poems, and became unique, full of wisdom and philosophical interest. They are important representatives of "modernist" poetry in China literature in 1930s. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period, he visited Yan 'an and Taihang Mountain, and his poetic style changed. He praised the people's fighting life. To sort it out, his poems pay attention to syllables and pursue the agility of words, which shows the dissatisfaction and thinking of young intellectuals at that time. The poet advocates that "people who have not gone through the artistic process cannot become works of art, and we believe that content and shape are inseparable". Bian's creative attitude is rigorous, and he tirelessly explores the transformation and expression in the "artistic process". Even in the external form of new poetry, he deliberately pursues change and innovation, not to mention the image and content of poetry. Some poems have been translated into many languages and become the special research objects of overseas scholars. In more than half a century, the poet has made unremitting efforts in poetry creation and theoretical research, successfully experimented with and introduced a variety of western modern poetry forms, opened up a new landscape for the development of China's symbolism and modernism poetry, made great enlightenment and important contributions, and achieved considerable artistic achievements.
