It's Also Weiyun (classic Pleasure Reading)
by Hu Shi
About This Novel
This book selects representative works from Hu Shi's poetry creation, especially the new vernacular poetry. These poems are based on daily life, with free poetic structure, clear and concise words, and plain or interesting artistic conception. Through this anthology of poems, we can not only feel the poet's profound philosophical thoughts, but also realize a warm, lovely, vivid interest in life, and a soft and transparent touch. Hu Shi's opinion on poetry has always been that "the first thing is to be clear, the second thing is to be powerful, and the third thing is to be beautiful"; he insisted that "good poetry must be understandable and recitable." After the beginning of the New Culture Movement, he consciously integrated vernacular with new poetry and new literature. He boldly innovated, broke the traditional way of writing poems based on meter, emphasized natural syllables, liberated the form, language and structure of poetry, and wrote poems in simple and popular vernacular. That is, he said what he said without being roundabout or obscure, so that the poetic meaning could reach people's hearts directly.
