Abstract:

On the "NineLeafPoem" School
——Also in Memory of Mr. Yuan Kejia (Group of Reading and Criticism, Department of Propaganda,
Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, Shanghai 200030, China)Abstract： The "NineLeafPoemSchool", as a wellknown Chinese modernist school, combines deeply embodied ideas with complex artistic forms, displaying a higher spiritual insight. While the poets' essential analysis of subjective or objective worlds lays a firm basis for the thoughtfulness, their successful usage of symbolic artistic methods gives a colorful novelty. And such an encouraging experience is produced by the realistic life that they give up, from ontology and by way of the spirit of joining society, the modernists' passive attitude towards life. All this produces an active variation of modernism in China and establishes an important place in the history of Chinese modern poetry. As for Yuan Kejia, who are both poet and poetic critic, his works embody sharply the literary consciousness of the "people bedrock" and indicate the strength, width and depth of the "hominine literature", which is put out by him and based on the multiple social experience and life reflection. Of course, while the achievement of this school should be affirmed, its "deep onesidedness"——being short of dialectical thinking——should not be neglected. It will be beneficial to overcome this shortcoming so as to promote the creation of Chinese modern poetry and its walkingup of international poetry.

Key words: “NineLeafPoemSchool”; modernism; variation; novelty; "people bedrock“
