Lin Hengtai's Personal Life

1924 was born in Beidou County, Taichung County, and now lives in bei dou zhen, Changhua. When I was studying in a private Taipei Middle School (now Taipei High School), I came into contact with a "new style poem" different from traditional Japanese poetry, planted the seeds of his poetry writing, and began to try to write poetry. It was also in middle school that I came into contact with modern literature and noticed modern writers in Europe and America. This laid the foundation for his future literary theory and creation, and also had a great influence on his participation in the modern poetry movement in the 1950s. 1946, Lin Hengtai was admitted to the Department of Natural History of Teachers College and transferred to the Department of Education the following year, so he met Zhu Shi, also from Changhua, and was invited by him to join the Bell Club. "Bell Club" was founded in 1942. It was originally a small literary group that circulated works signed by colleagues in turn. After the war, political corruption, inflation and the impact of the February 28th incident plunged literature into a downturn, but the "Silver Bell Club" decided to invigorate literature against the trend of the times, renamed the publication "Tide" and reissued it in May of 1948, which means: "Tide is the trend and inclination of the times and the blood flow of the youth in Taiwan Province Province". Lin Hengtai's works are published in every issue of Trends. Later, I began to try to write poems in Chinese, and published my works in the supplement of Bridge of Xinsheng Daily, Student World and Li Xing Daily edited by Yang Kui. 1in the spring of 949, Lin Hengtai edited and published his poems of this period, entitled "The Voice of the Soul", which was included in the "Trend Series". After the dissolution of Bell Club, he also temporarily stopped writing. The Voice of the Soul can be regarded as a summary of Lin Hengtai's poems in the 1940s. Most of them are Japanese, and only a few are Chinese. These poems show that he has dabbled in a large number of philosophical books, not only trying to explain some puzzles in life with these "knowledge" that have been eaten alive, but even showing off directly on such poetic topics as Hegel's dialectics, metaphysical scholars and philosophers. However, these poems also highlight the author's impulse to explore life deeply. On the other hand, he deliberately restrained himself when expressing his feelings, indicating his calmness and self-control. It seems that it is here that he laid the main poetic style in the future. Lin Hengtai called his generation of writers "beyond the language generation", because it is a gap for teenagers to learn Chinese again when they face losing their proficient language tools after the war. 1 March, 9521day, Ji Xianlin founded Modern Poetry Society and published Modern Poetry Quarterly. 1956 announced the establishment of modernism and promoted the modern poetry movement as a literary revolutionary. (Chen) said: "With the great help of Taiwan Province poet Lin Hengtai, this movement was able to realize the six creeds advocated by its main theme ... adopting completely westernized poetic techniques and pursuing intellectual pure poetry." Ji Xian knows nothing about the past of Taiwan Province's poetry, but completely obliterates the past achievements of Taiwan Province's poetry. He boasted that he "brought the kindling of poetry to Taiwan Province Province", forgetting that Lin Hengtai, who promoted the modernist movement with him, was not only influenced by the modern Japanese poetry movement, but also knew the evolution and style of modern Japanese poetry like the back of his hand, and had already written many avant-garde poems. Fu Huan also said that Lin Hengtai's poetry itself is a severe criticism of popular poetry in the poetry circle. Lin Hengtai's poetry was revived by participating in modernism. However, the modernist poet seems to have only seen the poetic form of his experimental poetry in the period of poetic form revolution, and was surprised and excited. It seems that they can't see the root of Lin Hengtai's poems in Taiwan Province Province during the Japanese occupation. Therefore, although Lin Hengtai walked in the forefront of the times and wrote avant-garde poems in the 1950s, he shared the same position with the local poets who later wrote Li, and regarded the pursuit of the integration of modernity and reality as the basic creative spirit of modern poetry. This is why although Lin Hengtai once fought side by side with the modernists, he could not extradite those modernist believers, put down the sense of superiority of the rulers and went underground. Long Throat, a collection of poems published in 1950s, is a work similar in nature to Voice of the Soul, which represents Lin Hengtai's early short poem style influenced by Japanese modernism. His greatest contribution to "modernism" is his comments, which provide a theoretical basis for modernist new poetry. This is undoubtedly questioned because of the revolutionary ideal of "modernism" and the lack of rooted practice, but it does not damage the integrity of these leading theories of poetry movement. Before Lin Hengtai entered modernism, his initial impressions were "fighting literature and art", "opposing literature and art" and "originally intended to. He said that this movement achieved the initial "modernism of knowing God". The most important event in the field of poetry in 1960s was the publication of a local poem named Li, which opened a brand-new page for the field of poetry in Taiwan Province. Many founders of "Li" are closely related to modernism, but now they want to part ways with modernism. The title of Dai Li was won by Lin Hengtai, and he was elected as the first editor. In the notice of the inaugural issue of "Li", it was announced that the May 4th Movement was over, although it was only positively emphasized that this generation finally had poems belonging to this era, which was worth celebrating more than anything else. However, it still criticized the past poetry movement. In addition, the scale he established for Li is also of great value to promoting the poetry movement. Li Xiaying introduced the poets, collected and sorted out the materials of poetry history, and commented on the works through discussion. It is an effective measure to push Taiwan Province's poetry from individual creation to team movement. Fu Huan said that it was a pity that Lin Hengtai resigned due to illness after editing several issues. "This made it impossible for him to engage in deeper spiritual core creation, and it also made it impossible for modernist poets who relied on him to deepen and deepen their poetic realm. This is the loss of poetry. "His works have been published one after another, including The Basic Spirit of Modern Poetry-On Sincerity (1968), Poems of Lin Hengtai (1984), Collection of Paw Marks (1986), and The Reckless History (/kloc-0) He is the guide of Taiwan Province's poetry from modern to local.
