Wu Xinghua is an important poet who has been neglected in the history of Chinese literature. He created a new way of classical poetry and it serves as a link between past and future. Based on the text read of Wu's poems, the relevant historical background and the concerned schools and comparing cases, this paper attempts to probe into the art features of Wu's poetry in terms of rhythm narration and language.The rhythm theory of modern poetry is basically made of syllable(syllable unite), syntax (structural pattern) and rhyme. And Wu's new verse has inherited and developed the new rhythm poems'theory on syllables. His experiments on syllabes fall into two kinds: the first one is imitative ancient poems, new Jue Ju, and new metrical peotry with fixed patterns and western sonnet; the second one is semi-free verses without fixed patterns. The syntactic features of Wu's poem lie in the complexity of cross—line, which is used together with shifting and contraction of poem verses making the form various. He uses the format to highlight writing in rhyme melody, and writes some untitled peoms without rhyme.The narrative poetic discourse feature in Wu Xinghua's poetry ,which appears in terms of the keywords "time", "image", "drama" in his overall peotry, including narrative poems, is a unique existence in the enemy-occupied areas in the 1940s. He adopts lots of artistic means, such as illusionary time, spatio-temporal association perspective, and round-lyric narrative structure; by creating a personal invasion of emotion and imagery thinking community works, he succeeds in strengthening the narrative poem degree,making his poems showing mythical characteristics and image features. He brings in the narrative skills from western poetry, pays attention to exploration of classical narrative and modern emotional ironic effects under modem context. He adds a satire component and interludes aside, resulting in the role of the tripartite narrative conversion techniques.The Wu Xinghua's language style is closely linked with wisdom transmission of symbolic school and modernist school, bears more modern spoken factors compared to those of the same poem field, and has formed a unique classicism characteristic. His colloquial poetry strategy is reflected in, on one hand, the performance of ancient poems. On the other hand, he uses modern rhythm of the spoken language, mining modern Chinese irony, satire, satirical elements, and engaged with the rhythm of modern spoken language test. His classical taste lies in the quest for classical themes, "ancient" of images, and the search for classical restraint tidy, balanced system in the form of relief. His poem is full of mystery, aloof, non-reality of the individual life philosophy. This way of thinking dominates the formation of his intellectual language style. He intentionally chooses philosophical form and sensory form of poetry, such as sonnet, elegy style, and dialogue style, to achieve intellectual communication.Wu Xinghua's poems, both in moods and characters, are known as a new integration of the old-style poetry and western poetry. His poems drift in the outside of realism and modernism road, and offer us a road to achieve an effective and inspiring unique significance. |
