Mu Dan,as One of China’s new poetry outstanding poets, his poetry creation involvesfrequent Christian discourse.Poet starts from real life experience, with the aid of poetry by building a bridge of divine dimension, and as a media tries to go toward the way to god, liberates the self from the absurdity of the flesh and spirit in the cage.Poet creates exclusively personal to the "I" that is a "paradox of god", in "god" in and retreat repeatedly proves the existence of god or not, suffering from the pain of tear mentally. This thesis mainly bases on poetry text itself, on the basis of emphatically analyzing the text,investigates a modern knowledge for the bloody external reality and inner worlddivine care.The thesis mainly divides into four parts, and the introduction part discusses the relationship between poetry and divine, the poet with the help of actual poetry to seek the sight of god, poetic in the dark earth feeling divine coming, and poetry together with the divine for a river comes out in the poet’s crooning.The first chapter mainly bases on text, and grasps the phenomenon.The world of Mu Dan’s poetry is desolate and in large chaos, unable to understand, such a mess of state makes the poet come into being wilderness feelings without escape, in the poetrysends a crow blood coming to god, expecting to the power attach itself to divine against the wasteland feelings of modern people, which confirms the existenceof god;God’s world was orderly at first,everything is in the state of harmony which is able to be controlled, but the persistent state ofchaotic makes the poet doubt the existence of god.In mu Dan’s era, people lost the normal state of life in the wilderness, rational abreaction, people can no longer rely on their own wisdom and reason to hold and govern the chaotic worldlostharmoniousorder,and lifecompletely falls into the bottom of nothingness.However the nothingness of life also exactly disproves the essential of "god".Mu Dan as a modern knowledge denied god exists of the absolute harmony, it is to see the existence of irrational power which dominatesthe human being disordered operation, thus to confirmthe irrational mystery.The second chapter is mainly contextual analysis, focusing on producing the reasons behind the "paradox of god".It was still unrest in China in the20th century, and modern intellectuals were looking for the road to save the nation, a large number of cultural elites trying through the enlightenment literature in order to achieve the purpose of saving the nation from the extinction, while in the new culture movement the fierce anti-traditional made modern intellectuals in a state of loss of the root,"people" ofbeing in the state of loss of the root,who also were In spatio-temporal stagger axes, is always in a "in which does not belong to" awkward relationship, just asthe human of a Christian theology lost the permanent paradise they depend on. Modern intellectuals experience helpless despair with waking up from the dreams again and again, bearing the era, the societyand the inner dual ordeal.Epilogue part mainly summarizes the divinity of Mu Dan express meaning.In the present age of value anomie, Mu Dan’s poetry can still bring us deep thinking.
