The word "modern poetry" comes from the quarterly magazine "Modern Poetry" founded by the great poet Ji Xian in 1953, and then modernism came into being. Ji Xianlin put forward "six poems" of modern poetry and advocated "horizontal transplantation" of new poetry, which was opposed by Qin Zihao, who also put forward his own six principles. This is the first argument of modern poetry.
Then there was the "Guantang Incident". After a complicated argument, it had an impact: it reflected on the relationship between modern poetry and western poetry, and began to pay attention to the reference of new poetry to China classical culture.
