On Haizi Western Resources And Its Significance

Hai Zi is an influential poet in contemporary poetry arena. This thesis explores the western resources in the text of Hai Zi's poetry and analyses the significance of these resources to poetry theme,imagery connotation and artistic style of his poetry. Based on the Hai Zi's ideological course in his poetry, which includes three stages of tasting desolate deeply,experiencing nothingness and transcending in epic, this thesis has been divided into three parts. The first part explores that under the influence of Thoreau, Yecenin and other western romantic poet, Hai Zi has formed his own existentialism thought which contains discovering self and thinking exists. The second part discusses that under the influence of existentialism, Hai Zi has realized the duty of poet is to experience nothingness in his poetry, and through learning the language viewpoint of Hlderlin and the style of the western latter impressionist school, Hai Zi has viewed the language of poetry must be from the view into element and then created unique divine language in his poetry. The third part of this thesis analyses Hai Zi's effort to transcending in his epic and the causes of the failure of this effort. Hai Zi chooses the western transcendence way to realize his poetry ideal in his epic. Having absorbed the epic experience of Hegel,Dante and Goethe, Hai Zi considered that an epic is just a poetry action which combining individual and raw power. Trough imitating the poetry rhythm of Faust and the style structure of the Bible, Hai Zi has formed a unified and harmonious epic structure. There are two reasons of the failure of Hai Zi's transcendence: the first is that just the congenital deficiencies of the epic spirit in Chinese traditional culture leads to Hai Zi's failure, the second is that Hai Zi fails in his try to combine eastern and western spirit.
