The literature of the New Epoch .For one thing, it was establishing its approaching way with contrasting to and breaking the old literature and art. For another, it was thinking a lot about the history by asking questions and deeply thinking historic proposition. By the current of the mind emancipation's deepening further, in the literature and art circles, it sparked off a controversy about the Obscure Verses due to attaching importance to the independence of literature. The author starts with the basis of the ideological mental tendency of modernist literature of the New Epoch, and inquires into the crux of ideology of the Obscure Verses and the argument when it encountered the mainstream trend of traditional thought. According to this ,the author tries to review,sort out and analyze the literature phenomenon seriously from the transforming course of literature and history in the New Era.Firstly, the communication of the current of the modernist literature was connected with a lot of reasons of history,literature,language and theory. So, some author broke the common value customs and the solidifying literature mode, they were consciously conducting experiment on the concept,value,function,element and structure of literature. Therefore, the Obscure Verses' appearing is the modernist verses' appearing again in china:On the one hand, it refers to the Obscure Verses' appearing means the reappearing of Chinese modernist tendency in the 1930' and 1940'ï¼›On the other hand, it refers to the Obscure Verses happens to coincide with the modernist tendency of poems in the west.Secondly, encircling the discussion about how to evaluate and understand poems, they were carrying out a controversy about the obscure verses from the end of 1979 in the literature and art circle. During the disputation which lasted many years, it mainly include three respects:one side is how to totally evaluate and recognize the western modernist literature, the other side , whether can the socialist literature hold the modernist or not, thirdly, how to deal with the modernist tendency which was a new born thing in the era. Furthermore, the author deeply points out the core of dispute lies in altering the traditions:one is the close tradition, i.e. thirty year' tradition of political utilitarianism, the other is the middle tradition, i.e. the realistic tradition, which was regarded as God in the artistic field from the May 4.Thirdly, in the mental tendency movement course of literature, the spirit of the Obscure Verses is essentially humanism and heroism:first, in the period of Floor Time, many educated youth underwent the way of thinking from puzzle and confuse to disappointment and ponder. Among them, the author laid emphasis on their struggling against a alien force of the Culture Revolution's divinitism political mythology, their questioning and pursuing self value, their pursuing free thoughts and admiring humanism. Second, in the Overt State period, poets were not satisfied with the pure criticism of the dark age in the thought and cognition, and finally they headed for the place where they acted as History Witnesses in the course of deep introspection.All in all, the Obscure Verses remedied the great historic split of the new verse at the level of the new gradation of modernist, it made the new tradition of the May 4 continue and extend, and made the modernization procession of the new verse which was once broken off renovate and advance. As the moon waxes only to wane, the essential cause of the whole Obscure Verses ebb tide lies in the rational spirit loss in the modernist verses in china, which at last buried the enlightening spirit in the poems and also put an end to the Obscure Verses.
