Transmission-Reception and the Reconstruction of Chinese New Poetry History

The creation history of Chinese New Poetry and the transmission-reception history of Chinese New Poetry are always intertwined in the past 100 years. It is impossible to have the continuous breakthrough and development of Chinese New Poetry creation without the transmission-reception of Chinese New Poetry. Nevertheless, the existing literary history and the Chinese New Poetry history constructed by the writings of Chinese New Poetry do not technically include the transmission-reception of Chinese New Poetry. Accordingly, this paper proposes to reconstruct the history of Chinese New Poetry with the perspective of transmission-reception to give the original appearance to history as much as possible, revealing its inherent ecological characteristics and dynamic mechanism. The reconstruction takes the history of Chinese New Poetry’s creation and development as the basis, main axis, and purpose, and also takes the transmission-reception of facts as the vision and basis, to penetrate and interpret the history of creation and evolution. Transmission-reception forms an integral part of the history of creation and evolution, which makes the history of Chinese New Poetry not only a presentation history of the facts of creation but also a generation and evolution history of Chinese New Poetry’s poetic nature from the transmission-reception dimension. Furthermore, it is also a history of demonstrating the modernity writing, transmission, and meaning-enhancing of Chinese New Poetry.
