The Influence of British and American Imagist Poetry on the Early Style of Chinese New Poetry

英美意象派诗歌及自由诗革命对中国新诗初期诗体建设产生了巨大影响。以意象派诗歌为代表的欧美现代诗歌运动促进了中国诗歌的现代化进程;而处于"五四"激进时代的新诗人对意象派诗歌和自由诗革命的误读,特别是对意象派诗歌诗体的自由化和内容的平民化的过度迷恋,导致了新诗的过度自由化、散文化,直接加速了中国的新诗革命,不仅影响了新诗革命的态度、方式和内容,也影响到了新诗草创时诗的形态、体式及初期新诗的文体特征、文体价值,甚至整个新诗历史的诗体建设。

The British and American imagist poetry and Free Verse Revolution have exerted great influences on the early style of Chinese new poetry. The modern poetry movement represented by imagist poetry in Europe and America promoted the modernization of Chinese poetry. The misreading of the Chinese new poets during the radical period of 'May 4' on imagist poetry and free verse revolution, and their ecstasies over the free style and ordinary content of imagist poetry altogether made the new poetry excessively unrestrained and prosaic. The incidence immediately accelerated the revolution of Chinese new poetry so that the latter had experienced radical changes in attitude, pattern, and content, as well as the early form, style, stylistic value and the poetic history as a whole.
