Pioneer Of Classicality

Fengzhi is a famous poet and scholar who have a fruitful of achievement in the modem poetic world.No doubt the modem style is the main characteristic in Fengzhi's poetry. However, in his poem, especially in his early narrative poem, there is also classical cultural charm.In 1920s, most of Fengzhi's poems are depressed, but also flesh and unique with distinctive mark under the influence of traditional culture of Tang poem and Song iambic verse. But at this time, except learning from classical culture, in fact he has already massively profited from the outstanding achievement in German literature in his poetry in 1920s, and has made exploration in Chinese modem nature according to a series of problems.Certainly a more obvious modem characteristic has shown in Fengzhi's poem in 1940s, but even at this time he did not completely discard the influence of tradition. In fact, this kind of traditional influence has definitely changed into another kind of rigid strength standard his absorption and learning from the western culture model.It may be said that in his two periods of poetry creations, the influences from both the ancient and modern, domestic and foreign have not existed in isolation, actually they are coexisted, and also in harmony, affect each other in different times.We may see in Fengzhi's poem that actually there simultaneously existed many kinds of nutrient from different times; these nutrients in his poem harmoniously coexisted under classical cultural atmosphere and have made contribution together for his poetry style formation respectively. All these cause his poems to show the motley color with all times and in all countries blending together.In each of these different colors, we may see the rational one with cutting edge and ponder. These colors under the background of classical literature are one kind of differentiation, but obviously also are one kind of surmounts, innovation, and fusion. We may say that at this time, Fengzhi's poetry is the harmony blends in all times and in all countries; they have a heart of classic, and with the light of pondering of some cutting edge colors.Look over two periods of Fengzhi's poetry creation, we may see his modem moral character has gradually changed from hide to apparent, and the question he has been thinking get even more thorough and thorough. But in his initial poetic composition the Chinese traditional culture influences slowly and gradually move towards to a lower place. But this certainly did not mean this kind of influence is withering away, only its function starts to change to a more latent stratification. And this stratification can lead the poet's all choices and observation; these looked like that it dives and hides, but in fact, it changes to the core level of thought. From the above, we can get the conclusion that in Fengzhi's poetry creation Chinese classical cultural tradition actually is Fengzhi's invariable choice all the time, and it is his basic character to be a Chinese, also his reference systems of his all choices. Therefore we may say that no matter to what kind of degree he has the cutting edge quality in him; he always has a gentle Chinese heart. And from his well known modem moral character as a poet, in fact he is still a model in classic.
