Modern Poetic Metaphor: As A Method Of Digestion Of Modern Poetry The Plight Of Its Construction

With the end of the disputes on metaphors between "third generation:and "intellectual's writing", the modern poetries entered a recession. The drear and silent poetry circles faces the historical tests and predicament. If the modern poetries should "refuse metaphor" and take the civilian route of'colloquialism" or just "accept metaphor" and develop further and vertically? Standing on the historical crossway, Chinese modern poetry is seeking for a truly suitable way for itself.Metaphor is not only an ancient figure of speech, but also human being'common way of thinking. As the modern poetry the best interpreter of Modernism, metaphor fits it well and instantly. Their unification and separation become the major forces for the development of poetry. All kinds of argumentations focus on the adoption or abandonment of metaphor, including the argument among Hu Shi, Wei Yiduo, Li Jinfa, between "politic lyric poems" and "misty styles", and between "the third generation" and "intellectual writings". Therefore, to some extent, the predicament faced by the modern poetry is actually the modern poets' attitude on "metaphor".Metaphor is just like a ghost haunting or hidden in modern poetries. Its lingering relationship with modern poetries reveals the irresistible destiny of modern poetries and guarantees the modern poetries'decision on it. Since it is unavoidable and irresistible, we can choose to accept it, to accept a constant-seeking and cover-removing construction process.Metaphor is the source of human being's thought and inspires human being's initial language and culture. Therefore, modern poetry metaphor construction is actually a process of seeking for the original resource. By mastering the features of original thinking, Metaphor which suits modern poetries well can be found. We call such metaphor "modern poetic metaphor" which should be all creature-integrated, emotional, creative, and meaningful, while whose material should be empiric while goals should be transcendental. By virtue of the modern poetic metaphor, it is possible to construct it so as to release the predicament faced by modern poetries. First of all, the poets should build "all creature-integrated" ideology, pursue for "superorganic existence of meaning" in the poetries, "always insist to all creature-integrated natural feeling" in the "sensible construction process" of modern poetry metaphor, always "keep the sensible poetic feeler" as well as "poetic life reflection"; in the "sensible construction process"-of poetic metaphor, a series of methods like "cohesion of meaning and image", "combination of poems and thinking", "accuralization of metaphor thinking" etc. can be employed to realize the construction. Finally, it is necessary to conduct "interpretation quality trainings of modern poetic metaphor" on the readers and receivers of modern poetic metaphor.
