Poet Feng Zhi's Creative Process And Its Achievements

This paper focused on the fusions of traditional Chinese and western culture, followed the clue of diachronic analysis which based on texts, investigated the poetry creating process and achievement of Feng Zhi. Feng Zhi was a principal poet of the 20th century in China, his 70-year-way of poetry writing may fairly claim to be gone with the development of Chinese New Poem. In his creation, on the one hand, he was affected by the traditional culture and classics of Chinese literature, on the other hand, he still took nourishment from western culture, especially German literature. What mixed native and foreign elements, changed and developed on which base, Feng Zhi formed the distinctive and representative characteristic of poetry, and the taste of literature.In the diachronic attention and induction of Feng Zhi' s poetry, It could be found that traditional Chinese and western culture was not showing great or direct force all at once, but had its very process of infiltration from the outside to the inside. Nor was Feng Zhi wholeheartedly embraced and simply patched them up, he was standing on the 20th century in China and on the need of his own life. He studied, absorbed, used and created them selectively, unified all with his own word, finally brought out glory of the poet himself. Yet his gain of glory was not in plain sailing at all, in his 70-year-period of poetry writing career, he suffered every difficulties, failure and misery, even stopped his writing for three times' long-term. Stagnation was not to give up but to think and wait. Every leaving and returning had its reason, which decided by the inner regularity of his creation and the request of his taste. How they mixed with Feng Zhi's work was closely related to both Chinese and western inheritance.Feng Zhi's poetry was just a bridge to connect new poem and asncient literature, new poem and western literature, Chinese and western culture. It could be found not only how the two kind of nutrition affected his creation, but also the native and foreign tradition especially Chinese and German literature were not completely different, but even had great comparability and common characteristic which should never be ignore. This was the basis of fusion and communication, while the diversity had endowed the cultural intercourse with richer and more complicated connotation. Exactly owing to the thorough comprehension and appropriate mastery of this, Feng Zhi established his own art of poetry.It can be said that, without the understanding of traditions of Chinese ancient literature and the background and characteristics of western especially German literature, one could not comprehend how Feng Zhi gradually achieved and accomplished his poetry, nor present appropriate estimation of his achievements and the individualized beauty of his poesy. It could be further learned that the literacy and modernity of Chinese new poetry was never dissevered from classic literature traditions, but the process of progress and perfection of new poetry was exactly corresponding to the process that the value and beauty of ancient literature was realized further, more clearly and thus absorbed and evolved, which also fit the request of literature development. On the other hand, modern literature including new poetry should be evaluated beyond the origin of native culture and a worldwide research. The 20th century was the century of active Chinese-occidental culture fusion, therefore deep and proper assess of the course of formation and value of our new literature could be attained, when the survey and estimation in a worldwide range of literature was given. Also, it had positive meaning in guiding the continuous development of Chinese new literature.
