The artistic style, poetic tradition, ideological tendency and significance of literary history of Mu Dan's poems were deeply discussed by some poets and critics in the 1940s, and were introduced into English literature.
Wang Zuoliang, a poet and translator, thinks, "In any case, Mu Dan has come to the forefront of China poetry with a new theme and language, but critics and literary historians have been slow to approach him". Wang Zuoliang also talked about Mu Dan's poems in his later years, arguing that after nearly 30 years of ups and downs, the poet still has that unparalleled poetic talent. He thinks Winter can be listed as one of Mu Dan's best works.
Extended data:
Mu Dan became the most popular young poet at that time as early as the forties, and his poems had a strong response among Shanghai poets. In the early 1940s, when Wen Yi selected Modern Poetry Banknotes for many times, he selected his 1 1 poems, the number of which was second only to that of Xu Zhimo.
At the beginning of 1948, Fang's English version of Selected Modern Poems of China was published in London, in which nine poems by Mu Dan were translated. 1952, Mu Dan's two English poems were edited by American poet Hubert Creekmore and selected into the World Poetry Vault, and only He Qifang was selected as other China poets.
Since the early 1950s, Mu Danpin has been hit by political movements, and his body and mind have been greatly devastated. He was forced to disappear from the poetry world and devoted himself to the translation of foreign poems until his sudden death.
It was many years after Mu Dan's death that he was gradually recognized by people. People published his poems and commemorative collections, and held a "peony academic seminar", which highly praised him. He even topped the list of "20th Century China Poets". This unusual phenomenon is called "Mudan phenomenon".
