T.S.Eliot is one of most influential literature critics in the west literary criticism history of the 20th century. This paper has carried on Eliot's poetics theory with systematical and comprehensive combing and analysis. As the core of Eliot's poetics, the poetics of "non-personalization" is for the purpose of dialing the romanticism, seeks the objective expression of poetry which leaves out the personal feelings, expresses individual performance indirectly, and expresses more common human's emotions. The theory reflects the return to the traditional rationalism. Eliot defines the tradition again, and regards the tradition as a kind of historical awareness which is selective and there is organic diachronism and co-exist, this theory also provides an order system of aesthetic values. Eliot also proposes the concept of "objective correlaticve" for realizing the poetry's expression of the non-personalization, which is similar to the Chinese classical poetics such as "the image" and "expressing feelings by object". Eliot's literary criticism view takes "the non-personalization" theory as a foundation, esteems the poet critic, has carried on the explanation of the criticism's function and the standard. He uses the method of the historical comparing, which displays the characteristic of the criticism's objectivity. Eliot's cultural poetics displays in following several aspects:the paradox of classics and moderner on the Eliot's body is solved artly; thinks about relations of the literature and the religious, and proposes the views of religion's literature;advocates multiplication in the culture, and advocates exchanging and dialoguing between the different culture. As the earlier worker of the new criticism, Eliot values the internal research of the text on the one hand, and on the other he also emphasizes the exterior research of writer's biography criticism and the reader's respond, advocates developing culture criticism in society,which displays the difference from the New Criticism. Since Eliot's poetics spreaded to China, it has had an important influence on the modern poet and critic's poetics view, its influence manifests centrally on the modern poem's body which sees Bian Zhilin, Yuan Kejia and Ye Gongchao as representatives. Eliot's poetics thus advances the modernized progress of Chinese new poetry. Since the new time, Eliot's poetics theory has continued to product influence on the Chinese present poem's world, and it will provide theory resources and the model function for the contemporary poetry theory to explore new paths.
