The development of Chinese poetry in the 20th century is an ongoing process of modernization. Situated in one of them, the modern Chinese Symbolism-Poetics also has strong demands, especially on the earnest attention and positive construction of the poetry noumenon. The thesis makes the exploration of "poetic ontology" as the starting point of expiation of the modern Chinese Symbolism-Poetry. And with its nature in poetry, art forms, aesthetic value of the core proposition of the main vein. It also shows the full meaning of the poem obtained during their increasing process. By observing their poetry writing, poetry criticism, poetry controversies and other areas of real exists, the author attempts to reveal the complex system and situations of the modern Symbolism-Poetics construction and the tortuous course of its "legal" status.This thesis is divided into three parts: preface; main body; conclusion.The preface mainly explains the starting point of the modern Symbolism-Poetics, the core proposition and the thoughts and methods on the description level. In this thesis, the author thinks on the first half of the 20th century, from the update of concept, the change of the aesthetic judgment to the art trends; the modern Symbolism-Poetics has shown great effort on the returning to the "poetic ontology". It puts forward a very important poetic question about "poetry ontology" based on the basic construction of its own lifeline. This concern about the "poetry noumenon", its "legitimacy" in history comes from the study of the arts in self-discovery of classical Chinese poetry. Historical traditions and actual performances show that only from the "poetic ontology" side, the rich connotation of the system of the symbolism of modern poetry can be accurately analyzed and explained. In a higher level, it is also helpful for us to understand and grasp the difficult course of the poetic construction and its significance. In general, the study of the symbolism of modern poetry is mainly expressed by the core proposition and construction of the look of pure poetry, symbol, image and obscurity. This thesis avoids the two demonstrated ideas of the "modern theory of the development process" and "fusion of Chinese and Western". The integrated use of the Phenomenon of Study, Symbols, and Reception Aesthetics change the focus of the poetry study from the static concept explanations into the development of dynamic living space. It pays attention on exploring the vitality of the proposition of poetics system and demonstrates the spirit of striving for the "status" of its own poetry.Chapter I gives the comprehensive examination to the object at first. The aesthetic exploration of the modern Chinese Symbolism-Poetics is directly affected by the impact of the symbolism of Western poetry. Thus it is very necessary to study the latter system and to explore its development trend. In the background of the movements of the French Symbolism-Poetry, this thesis makes a brief study of the nature and the expansion of the French Symbolism-Poetry. This thesis makes a basic picture of the self-construction of the symbolism of modern poetry: in the reality of the complexity of Chinese society, from the start to the deepening integration of the modern symbol of poetic system, there has always been a combined presentation of the purposes and regularity. Based on the practical needs of modern poetry, it makes the implementation of traditional Chinese poetics and Western poetics. So that it gets double support from the core proposition of the rich connotation of Chinese and Western poetry. It fully faces the creative practice of Chinese poetry, and strives to pay attention to the nature of modern poetry, and there has always been conscious awareness of the construction the poetic noumenon. These modern senses of the essential characteristics represent the spirit of the main body of the poetic construction. In addition, the re-naming of symbolism which given by the recipients based on the reality of specific environment and cultural context, demonstrates the variations in the process of localization.Chapter II focuses on the exploration of the noumenon of "pure poetry" in modern Symbolism-Poetry, with a view to reveal the complex existences of the nature concept of poetry. In the lead of modern trends in poetry, the modern concept of "pure poetry" has overcome the "prose style" of poetry, through positive construction and proper introspection; it obtained an innovation of poetics in the constant strengthen reflection of aesthetic. Profound implication of the aesthetic made the concept of "pure poetry" as a standard of the poetry and with the criticized establishment of the modern "pure poetry"; it won itself a new living space. The transformation from the theoretical to the practical aspects was also an important part for modern "pure poetry" to verify the concept of its own. After the transformation by the poets of early symbolism, modernism, and "Nine leaves", the concept of "pure poetry" and the "pure poetry writing" made a close combination with contradictions by the "leverage" of modern poetry. The "legitimacy" of modern "pure poetry" was challenged and criticized because of the transform of the society, causing the poetics debate between the opposing sides. After sorting out the process and the focus of controversies, this thesis analyzes the complex causes which hinder the development of the concept of modern "pure poetry".Chapter III shows the depth of exploration on the noumenon of artistic creation of the symbolism of poetry by conforming symbol, image, picture, strange forms of symbolism. As an ideal realm of the development of poetry, symbol causes a widespread concern from the critics; under the guidance of the principles of "implied" thinking, they build a unique space which is expressed by the symbol grammar from theory to practice. This thesis focuses on the poetic construction and the art variations of the imaginable dimensionality of symbolism by analyzing the evolution of the imagery ontology, the aesthetic strategy of image convey and the shaping of the intellectual image. The charm of the art forms of modern Symbolism-Poetry also highlights the exploration on pictures and specialties. They conform to modern aesthetic trends of the "poetry quality" in modern poetry; meanwhile it also builds a new bridge between the languages of modern poetry and the main sense of dislocation.Chapter IV adopts the controversial topic of "Obscurity" as the core interpretation. It intends to clarify the truth of "Obscurity" which was considered as the concept of modern Symbolism-Poetry and to show its value in the complex statement. In the author's opinion, on the characteristics of modern poetry, "Obscurity" is a kind of aesthetic values of modern poetry. It arose at the moment with the abusive development of modern poetry, and was made widely known with the search for the quality of modern poetry and ultimately attained the essential quality of modern sense in the development of Symbolism-Poetics. "Obscurity" also led to a multi-dimensional interpretation in the critical field of modern poetry, in the analysis of "Obscurity", the interpretation itself also made a valuable estimation on the concept of "Obscurity" after clarifying the complexity of disputes. This thesis pays particular concern to the identification of modern poetry. The critics gradually recognize the aesthetic values of "Obscurity" on modern poetry after revealing the true meaning of "Obscurity" on modern poetry.The conclusion makes a comprehensive look about the importance and the influence of the modern Chinese Symbolism-Poetry. It also makes a comprehensive critical cogitation of its connotation and construction of modern poetry.
