1920年代初中国新诗中的“西方”

"West" in China's New Poems in the Early 1920s(New Century Talents Project Aided by Ministry of Education)

1920年前后的中国新诗,在发抒文化新人的个体情感与家国情怀的同时,表现了诗人对西方世界的中国式观察、理解与想象,"西方"以不同的方式、姿态与面貌出现在许多诗作中,或破败凄凉,或冷漠无情,或友善阳光,或浪漫自由。多数诗中的"西方"具有本体形象性和展示性;但有些诗中的"西方"则仅是诗人言咏的引子,到场而无形。纵向而言,那一时期新诗中的"西方"经历了一个由主观感受型向具体客观型转换,由冷漠、灰暗到友善、斑斓的形象演绎过程。作为异质元素存在,"西方"不仅彰显了诗人们的现代世界观念,而且为中国诗歌发展提供了新的可能性。

The new poems in the early 1920s reflect the poets＇ observations,understanding and imagination of the western world.＂West＂ appeared in many new poems in different ways,postures and visages such as loneliness,apathy,friendliness,romance,freedom and so on.In most poems,＂West＂ has its own image,and in some other poems ＂West＂ has no image or form.＂West＂ in that period underwent from the subjective feeling to the objective concreteness,from apathy to friendliness and so on.As a foreign element,＂West＂ reflects the ideas of modern world from poets and provides the possibility of the development of Chinese poetry.
