Mayakovsky was a future poet in his early years, but later became the founder of socialist realism poetry. His literary experience is very important for the development of socialist realism literature. His success is that he dared to break the restricted area,withstood pressures of dogmatism,boldly was absorbed in the latest thinking and art skills in Western literature, and creatively applied outstanding cultural achievements of these human to the construction and development of socialist literature. This also indicated that there was no any prejudice in the Western writer's creative thinking and creative skills which also could be means of socialist literature and allocation of resources and configuration mode. In other words, Mayakovsky innovated and kept up with the times, creatively introduced some creative methods and creative skills of the West so-called "the most heinous and decadent bourgeoisie literature " into socialist literature, thereby greatly expanding cultural horizons of socialist literary and greatly being rich in creative skills of socialist literature, and that provided unlimited inspiration for future writers.Mayakovsky was the first poetry innovator with the gestures of reform in the history of proletarian literature. He kept up with the times and dared to innovate. He boldly applied western modernism which popular for a while, especially futuristic techniques, to the Soviet Union literature. And on the basis of this, Mayakovsky created the poetic form of socialist realism. However, it must not be a wholesale, but a critical inheritance. It is wrong that futurism opposed ideological content of art, negated the national cultural heritage. It is also wrong that unconventional art form revealed fanatical rebellious tendencies. Mayakovsky created poetry of socialist realism by overcoming futuristic shortcomings, learning from people and participating in the socialist revolution and construction. At the same time, he has carried out innovation in the form of poetry and language. This poet used the novel word, vivid,exaggerated image to depict capitalism's urban and bourgeois's ugliness, demonstrating a critical edge and yearning for a better future. In addition, he still used the staircase poetry to sing the praises of Lenin and socialism. Color plays an important role in Mayakovsky's poetry which was not only his tool to create image and construct images, but also the mode of creation that he turned poetry into art and turned verse into drawing board. Thereby his poetry also became blocks of colored buildings. In his poetry, exaggeration and absurdities were fused. After the October Revolution, Mayakovsky's art tendencies of futurism had not been digested. Furthermore, he combined poetry with socialist political inclination, people's hot life and people's revolutionary practice. His poetry absorbed in art nutrition of various red songs, thus he boldly integrated with a large number of cultural resources by using futurism's mature artistic skills. So he provided new resources for socialist realistic poetry. He absorbed in public poetry skills of peasants and soldiers, and integrated realistic factors of poetry with the futurism, resulting in graft effect and transplant effect. The new artistic thinking made his poetry extremely wide adaptability and times, achieving the perfect unity of content and form, which became main features of socialistic realistic poetry.
