| Wumingshi, a famous and brilliant writer in 1940s, remerged out of water after being silent for over half a century. The research on his works, being carried out by few people for a long period before, started in 1990s gradually, most of the researchers only take Wu as a representative of Post Romanticism in 1940s to study, and the researches which they have done are far from being enough. In the past several years, with the research field of the history of Chinese contemporary literature being extended, it has become necessary to take a systematic and deep research on his works.The previous researches seldom study his love novels on a wider framework from the perspective of modernism, nor analyze their profoundness and peculiarities to point out their shortcomings. Wumingshi became famous to be a love story writer in 1940s, owing to his special personal experience; he has a peculiar understanding of life and love, his love novels, to a large extent, the reflection and embodiment of his experiences of life and love. The present thesis tries to analyze the poetic feature in his love novels, and elaborate their impact and contributions to modern love novels. In this thesis, I try to interpret and analyze his novels in three parts.Part one, Wu's poetic personality and lifeThis part, starting from individual psychology, intends to analyze Wu's peculiar personality and psychological dispositions and the determining influence of his unique life experience on his love novels. Firstly, distinctive romanticism: Wu's poetic style. Independence and rebellion are Wu's main personality and psychological dispositions, the other side of his personality includes: gloom, calmness, self—discipline and persistence. Being passionate is his another personality. Secondly, Wu's gorgeous but frustrated life. It tries to analyze the love experience of his whole life and the direct perceptual origin of his live novels.Part two, the analysis of his poetic love novels. Focusing on text analysis of Wu's love novels, this part tries to discuss the peculiar love pattern in his love novels, and his deep love psychology. Firstly, pure love and unfaithful love, the love pattern in his love novels. Secondly, the analysis of Wu's love psychology tends to expose the attitude of Chinese traditional scholar-officials toward women, namely, the process of chasing, despising, womanizing, enjoying, seeking the exotic, being familiar, being tired, and abandoning, which is actually the centre consciousness of taking women to be inferior to men.Part three, artistic study on Wu's love novels. It tries to analyze the unique modern features and philosophical reasoning, which makes his popular love novels enduring and valuable, flashing with poetic imagination, as if with divine wings. Firstly, the philosophical reasoning in Wu's love novels, Wu's erudite knowledge covering both eastern and western literature, his novels, therefore, are the production of the combination of western and eastern cultures, which are the results of his conscious afford to establish an artistic mood, he also made up an eternal Utopia of love; Secondly, Wu's unique artistic methods and writing, his prose-like and poetic language, and unique beautiful imagination; thirdly, Wu's contributions to the development of modern love novels, his novels, often hiding flickering philosophical implication and cultural reflection, formed peculiar literary style, which can be the pioneer for the innovation of modern novels. The artistic writing of Post Modernism, Wu being a representative, has brought incredible revolution for traditional literature. Post Modernism, not the main trend of Chinese modern literature though, reinforces the contents of new literature, whose influences are remarkable and significant.
