Hu Shi's poetic achievements:
When history advances to the first "five years" During the "Four" period, the vigorous "poetry revolution" that had a great impact on traditional poetry, but finally fell into trouble, has ended, and the noisy Chinese poetry world has begun to become quiet.
However, it was during this period of relative depression that a kind of poetic innovation emerged in the poetry world that was not very impressive, but very profound and fundamentally different from the "poetry revolution" of the previous generation - -Hu Shiqian's attempt at "May Fourth" vernacular poetry. [6]
From a linguistic perspective, Hu Shi introduced new terms and opened up new artistic conceptions.
From a formal perspective, Hu Shi adopted a variety of innovative methods based on the revolution in poetry, "putting new wine in old bottles", and further guided the external form of poetry into a broader and freer field. .
In terms of sentence structure, Hu Shi followed his ideas of "writing poetry like composition" and "writing without avoiding prose" and adopted the method of "prose culture" to break the compositional structure and metrical requirements of old-style poetry. .
In terms of poetic style, Hu Shi made various serious attempts towards the goal of "liberalization" by adopting the methods of "retracing ancient rhythms" and "borrowing from the West".
In terms of style, Hu Shi's poems of this period show fresh, plain and natural characteristics. For example, his "Eight Vernacular Poems" show simplicity and freshness in their pure language, lively and free form, as well as the daily social situations they describe and the personal life emotions they express.
It is precisely with Hu Shi's pre-"May Fourth" vernacular poems that "bridge the old and new artistic eras" as a symbol that Chinese poetry has ended its development and changes in the classical form for thousands of years, and has initially established It created a new artistic form of Chinese poetry, changed the classical and modern themes of Chinese poetry, and started a great "new era of poetry".
