Three Issues of Poetry by Chinese Scholars in the 20th Century

Article Summary by: TsingHua    

Original Author: Seeking Truth
This abstract was translated from 20世纪中国学人之诗三题议
Unprecedented atrocities and calamities that Chinese civilization went through in the 20th century awakened the vitality
of the whole nation with great momentum while directly destroying the social soil on which past aristocratic families used to depend. The poetry by Chinese scholars in the 20th century is no doubt a real pearl cultivated and developed from this throbbing pain of the nation. Among the poems by the Chinese scholars in the 20th century, the poetic spirit of the traditional Chinese culture is inherited, directly recording the genuine psychological experiences of the great masters and scholars while in the meantime expressing their rational reflections on Chinese modern destiny. To the modern Chinese scholars, if the insight of the wise is reflected in their academic research, the heart of the benevolent is then manifestly inherent in their poems, which is the great concern and sorrow that transcend the times, ethnic origins, political views and personal feelings of gratitude and grievance. This is also a unique ideological resource that poetry by the scholars provides to the Chinese history of modern ideologies.
