On Beauties Of Xu Zhimo's Poems

Xu Zhimo, one of the very few great poets in the modem poetic world of China, is the main leader of "New Moon" Prevaiiing from late 1920's to 1930's. Despite his ten -- year career of creation, he left us a few more poems with true feelings, fresh language and elegant realm. He devoted all his life to probing into poetic flavors—poetic licence, creation and beauty. He was much the same as Wen Yiduo and had great influence on 1920's to 1930's poetry of China. Though it was Wen Yiduo that put forward "Three Beauties", Xu Zhimo put it into practice in part and surpassed him. Xu ZhiMo's wisdom is that he makes them become one -- the lightness in beauty of music, the agility and diversity in beauty of architecture, the brilliance and leaps in beauty of painting, the novelty and wonder in beauty of ideology. At the same time, he makes them interdependent, contrasting each other, so he creats a beautiful poetic imagery just like the fresh mountain spring, and in such imagery, poem can tell about its own esthetic feelings. Specifically, you can have flow emotion from beauty of music, and by the way of rich imagination, you can enter the wonderful imagery, entranced with the nice drawing conception. Music and color can appeal to the imagery by use of the two senses, ear and mind. What's more, consolidation and random from vision in beauty of architecture can make you get much extraordinary aesthtic enjoyment when reading his poem. So there is an interesting result of aftertaste that lingers, pictures in the poem and poems in the picture. So Xu ZhiMo wons more readers.
