Going Back to the Classics and Opening Up a New Way:An Initial Study on Wu Xinghua's Poetics
Wu Xinghua(吴兴华)was a gifted poet who was most productive from the late 1930s to the 1940s.He lived in the Japanese-occupied Beiping(北平)during the Second Sino-Japanese War,and then experienced the Chinese Civil War and other socio-political changes,and passed away in the mid-1960s.During his brief and shinning life,he produced a significant amount of brilliant creative and scholarly works and translations,which were ignored and neglected by most literary histories.An examination of his early works on criticism reveals that he was precocious with a poetic consciousness of profundity.He also completed a graduation dissertation,entitled An Application of Modern Methods of Criticism to the Study of Chinese Poetry,and submitted it to Yenching University(燕京大学)in 1941.Appropriating E.M.W.Tillyard's(蒂尔雅德)theory of"direct and oblique"(直与曲),Wu Xinghua demonstrated a new way of text explication in his study of Chinese classical poetry.In parallel with his practical criticism,Wu developed his unique poetics which culminated and flourished in his later literary creation.
