Since the emergence of new poetry, there has been a saying that "new poetry is difficult to understand". This statement has its specific historical and cultural background, and it is also a problem that many scholars in the field of new poetry and new poetry research since Wen Yiduo and Zhu Ziqing have worked hard to solve. Based on this issue, this book selects hundreds of influential works in the history of new poetry and provides an introduction to them. However, due to the editor's specific cultural and academic stance, as well as his broad spiritual vision, this book is not a simple introduction to poetry, but is related to the "modern interpretation of poetics" thought that the editor has practiced for many years. It is not only a guide to the reading and writing of modern and contemporary poetry, but also a basic construction of the historical value and cultural implication of new poetry.
