The scholars who think he did join （and actively participate in） that revolutionary organization rely on attributions to Lu Xun by third parties who conversed with him late in his life, but Lu Xun never actually addressed this question in his written or published works and, despite his student-teacher relationship with Zhang Taiyan （and therefore by inference the Tokyo and Zhejiang branches of the Guangfu Hui）, no one has ever brought forth archival evidence to support the claim of his membership. Here I will examine the classical-style poetry Lu Xun wrote before and after the event in order to gauge through first-hand evidence his disposition toward the Republican revolution and the historic transition it signaled for China.展开更多

By examining Yu＇s status as a displaced loyalist both in his verses as well as in real life, I argue that Yu＇s loyalist rhetoric represents the identity crisis of a Chinese writer in confronting the menacing power struggles of the modern world.展开更多

Li Yindu, who lived in the region of Guan Zhong (the central Shanxi plain), was a famous poet and an expert in poetics in the early Qing Dynasty. His woks on poetics, which is based on the position of school of artistic style, was in response to the poetry in Song style in the reign of Emperor Kang Xi, and initiated a new approach of study of Chinese poetry. His study on poetic rhyme created a separate school in that time and had effect on Gu Yan wu who happened to stay in Guan Zhong. Especially, his study on Tang Poetry rhyme and Du Fu’s poems illuminated the scholars in Poetics in his time and after.展开更多
