The famous contemporary writer Fang Fang is regarded as one of the"representatives of the new realistic novels"by commentators. This benefits her a lot, as well as leaves a rigid impression to the public."new realism"is really an important character of her novels. However, it is unable to include her entire style absolutely. In recent years, Fang Fang has kept changing her fiction theme and creation style. More and more researchers come to realize other features of her novels besides "new realism", such as tragedy implication, tendency of existence,humanism care, humorous and witty words, as well as the wisdom of philosophy here and there, etc. Through all her works, it can be seen that her novels and her own life experiences are closely linked. As a successful poet who never stops writing, the long-time poetry creation will absolutely influence her novels. Unfortunately, this impact has been ignored by researchers to a great extent. In the article, the writer concerns about the effects of the poems to Fang Fang and her novels.FangFang has a predestined relationship with poetry. She is famous as a novelist and few people know she is also a skillful poetess. She started to write poems when she was 15 years old and never stopped. At the same time, FangFang loves Chinese classical poetry and is fond of modern foreign poems. She and her novels are deeply affected by many great poets of which Su Dongpo and Eliot have the most important effects.There are many poems directly cited or indirectly used in FangFang's novels, including preface poems, postscript poems foiling atmosphere and body poems telling her heart. In her novels, it's a habitual mode to creat poetic environment by adopting preface poems and postscript poems. Here is a feature: modern foreign poems are cited more in novels with subjects on civilians while Chinese classical poems being seen more frequently in novels with subjects on intellectuals. Comparing to preface and postscript poems, poems in texts are appeared in three modes followed: first, famous poems are directly cited to impress complicated emotions; second, these poems are surpassed by FangFang; third, some poems are created by novel figures. Moreover, she always emphasizes the non-poets'interest on poetry in order to stress his poetic talent. In her novels, figures often chant poems and sometimes make poems to entertain themselves. As a result, text poems appear here and there.The interior poetry feature of FangFang's novels represents in three aspects such as novel language,structure and expression technique. She often makes use of poetry language in her novels so as to possess poetry texture. Many of her novels are of divergent structure including quite a few short separated stories without the support of a integrated tale running through. However, interior subject of the novel is consistent. It is in accordance with the poetry which is made at will. Symbolization, as a basic expression technique in poetry, is often used in FangFang's novels. This makes her novels full of poetry spirit. Although she can use poetry language,structure and expression technique readily in compositions, these poetry features scattered in most of his works appear in some contents or concentrate on some parts of the contents. By contrast, the poetry feature implicated in FangFang's novel creation thought is extensive and comprehensive, it almost relates to every novel she has written. This is the idealism writing attitude she always keeps in her novel creation.The poetry effect on Fang Fang and her novels is obvious, but we can not accurately say how much the effect is——because literature is a world of sentiment in which perceptual thinking makes it vague. Poems'effect on Fang Fang's novel is just as the saying by QianZhongshu"The meaning of poetry is like salt in the water, or flower in the honey ; it appears formless, yet maintains its characteristics and flavor ; it looks shapeless, yet you can feel it; it seems meaningless, yet actually meanful ; anyway things are usually not what they seem to be."while FangFang's novels are becoming more and more skillful, the effect ways become less and less, anyway, there is poems'shadow in Fang Fang's novels. At the same time, because of the poem characteristics in her novels, these works possess more characters which could not be included by"new realism"and therefore have a distinctive style.
