in the spirit of Whitman's poetry.Modern poets by the influence of Whitman's poetry with such spirit,in a certain extent abandoned the poems on political authority and praise to ingratiate himself with the upper class people in content,and generally to a new standard look at people in the bottom,on the labor quality of farmers,workers,women and other civilians praise,the spirit and soul of excavation and beautiful character exploration become one of the main themes of modern poetry.In addition,Whitman's poetry with indomitable will of the iron and steel are brave and indomitable fighting spirit fit in the class and national conflicts increasingly sharp the era of revolutionary struggle of the Chinese people against the enemy bravely,thirst for freedom of hope,so Whitman reflected the spirit of democracy and poetry poetry provides the valuable thought resources for the revolution in modern Chinese poetry.This chapter describes the combination of local context,explore the causes of the Whitman's democratic spirit of the tool.Whitman's poetry spirit deeply attracted to the Chinese poets of all ages on the one hand illustrates the Whitman democratic spirit of modern Chinese poetry the powerful influence,modern poets have characteristics of Whitman's poetry spirit of tools,localization is China modern radicalism and utilitarianism thought tendency of the strong evidence.First,Chinese poets in Whitman's influence is not blindly,but to adapt to the needs of the local context,presentation of choice fits the creation trend of thought.The second chapter examines Whitman's poems on the nature of urban and rural areas and the inspiration of Chinese modern poets.Whitman is not bound by tradition,strong expression of feelings style impact Chinese a large number of the poet's mind.Many modern Chinese poet Whitman's description of urban and rural poetry art reference,the poetry selection object is magnificent broad natural materials,the building is a magnificent modern poetry image space,the performance is dynamic and mental strength characteristics of,revealing is the natural male Zhuang Weili breakthrough secular norms and customs of the statute,the expansion of the subject's mental or emotional.By Whitman edification of the modern poets abandon the gentle euphemism tone,in a relaxed nature,magnificent heroic style description of macroscopic nature meteorological vast expanse,majestic atmosphere of the noble things,reflect the innermost feelings unceasingly surging passion,compared to the traditional Chinese poetry advocating quietness beauty of landscape and pastoral poetry,is a with the modern aesthetic form of heterogeneity,this shift and poets of Whitman's poetry repeated reading and reference is inseparable.Whitman embodied in the urban and rural poetry writing brings to Chinese modern poets brought is not only the change of aesthetic taste,more impetus to the poet of China urban and rural social,cultural and psychological transformation,enrich the new poetry pioneers of discourse resources,expand their poetic experience,provides the aesthetic environment of literary imagination and poetic space for modern Chinese poets.The third chapter mainly inspects Whitman's personality spirit's influence on modern Chinese writer and specific performance.Whitman's poetry,which is promoting personality consciousness,advocating freedom,and requirements of emotional liberation,is compatible to the spirit of poetry at that time Chinese new poetry poet as well as the new youth pursuit of freedom and the idea of love,lighting the Chinese further at all "personality liberation" lamps.Thus,that has a certain influence on Chinese new poetry creation.In this chapter,Whitman spirit is discussed in detail on the four levels of China's modern poets creating mold,from the praises of self-worth,sure of the individuality,to"consistence between body and spirit".the affirmation of the values,the emotional value of the young.Chinese modern poetry works "consistence between body and spirit" of love,stress individual character freedom,which reflects the characteristics of Whitman thought of personality.Whitman as a rich individual character of the spirit of the poet,his children's innocence,heroic passion,Faustian rebellious character is greeted by Chinese modern poets,the requirement of China's modern poets create their own emotional liberation,at the same time responsible for the fate of the nation's individual image are deeply rooted among people,which are closely linked with the independent consciousness of modern personality and the spirit of poetry translation and publicity.But due to the national culture and aesthetic concepts such as local context,Whitman' s view on gay sex cold-shouldered was even misreading.The fourth chapter explains Whitman's influence of poem style on modern Chinese poets.Whitman,who broke up the traditional metrical poetry,strongly advocated the spoken language in poetry,and created the world's Bohemian style,is known as the "father of free verse" of the United States.Whitman's oral poetry and free verse idea and practice play an important role on the development of Chinese new poetry,providing rich resources for the creation of new poetry.On the one hand,we think that Whitman's oral in poetry and free verse style advocated the reference for the innovation of traditional verse to modern Chinese poets.Poetry and maturity in the development of new poetry in China has played a large role.On the other hand,the misreading phenomenon existing in Chinese poet of Whitman' s poem body leads to some disadvantages in the development of new poetry.The last part is the conclusion.On the basis of the historical research,this
