Ballads and Chinese New Poetry: Focusing on the "ballad-ification" Trend of New Poetry in the 1940s
by Chen Peihao
About This Novel
Ballads are poetry that travels in the mouths of the people, and new poetry is a literary style that opened up a new world and combined new experiences during the modern transformation of the Chinese language. Due to special historical opportunities, Chinese new poetry in the 20th century made many efforts to use ballads as resources. This book traces the history of many practices of combining new poetry with ballads in the 20th century, and focuses on the rich practice of "new poetry balladization" in the 1940s under two different literary systems, the Kuomintang-controlled areas and the liberated areas. By carefully reading the representative poems of He Qifang, Ai Qing, Yuan Shuipai, Li Ji, Ruan Zhangjing and others, it shows the different stylistic boundaries of new poetry and ballads, as well as the complex historical progression of Geng ballads into new poetry.
