On The Change Of Feng Zhi 's Poetic Style

In existing research, the early and medium-term creation of Feng Zhi has already got various and fully discussion. However his poetry in 1950 s has not because of lacking value. People tend to take change of social environment as the main obstruction so that many researchers will separate modern and contemporary parts and also treat different periods of Feng Zhi as mutations which can not effectively explain why and how the style of Feng Zhi transforms.According to poetry of Feng Zhi, image is the fundamental structure. It means that images do not only state the content, but also balance all factor.And with its analogy principle behind, joint itself with poet’s feeling, experience and idea of the other things. Specifically speaking, from early writing to 1950 s, natural objects have always been the main images, but the analogues change from time to time. In the 1930 s, natural images represent poet’s depression and helplessness of youth, in 1940 s this melancholy is replaced by existential experience with purer images, then in1950 s, images deform from reality under political ideology. Thus, his style change is related to the replacement of analogues. On the other hand, his expression skill has obviously continued among romantic lyric, modernistic expression and realistic writing. And his imagery poetry structure itself also participate in the development of Chinese new poetry.Further speaking, the correspondence between feeling and images is relatively close in Song of Yesterday that lyric does not point to object but to subject. The reserve lyric then absorbs the reflective thinking of German Romanticism and facilitates the self-exploration in Northward and Others which leads Feng Zhi to the essence of being. Here, Rilke’s concept of experience becomes very important. It revolutionized the view angle of Feng Zhi and put a kind of original meaning on his presentation of objects in Collection of Sonnets. But the experience of Rilke requires poet to remove personality and open himself to the world. Yet, the experience of Feng Zhi wears strong personal idealistic. Nature has been built as a model to people as well as the opposition of social custom. His distinction and value judgement, eventually result in a moral attitude. From that point, it is not out of political identity, but from a moral identity that Feng Zhi can accept new regime. Therefore, his poems in 1950 s are plain.
