胡明樹的詩論研究

Abstract

Hu Mingshu’s literary works cover various genres, such as novel, poetry, prose, fairy tale and review. However, there has not been adequate research on him; the reason is that his works embody salient features of the age and consciousness of resistance. In the1930s and 1940s, Hu Mingshu found two literary magazines, Poetry Monthly and Poetry; but there are huge gaps in the study of his poetics and poems. Poetics refers to the literary theory or literary criticism of poetry, reflecting a poet’s consciousness and conception of poetry composition. By publishing Poetry, a monthly started in the 1930’s, Hu Mingshu made considerable contribution to promoting the development of modern theory of literature and art in China and was actively involved in the construction of modern Chinese poetics. The literature on Hu’s poetics has revealed the features of the evolution of modern poetry theories in China, bearing significant reference value for the research of new poetics in China. With an attempt to unfold the development path of modern poetics in China, this paper has reconstructed Hu’s modern poetics, shedding light on Hu’s thought for poetry and redefining his position in the history of modern Chinese literature. This paper provides a reference for the construction of a theoretical system of Chinese poetry, thus enriching the existing research findings of modern Chinese poetics.
