This book combs the growth and evolution of the lyric and narrative traditions in Chinese poetry creation since the "May 4th" New Culture Movement. It focuses on the new poetry theory and creation of representative poets Hu Shi, Li Jinfa, Mu Dan, and Yuan Kejia who emphasize narrative reasoning. It analyzes the trend of modern new poetry toward "narrativeness" as an inherent requirement for the development of poetry. It also explores the implicit tradition of "narrativeness" in traditional old poetry. This book also focuses on the controversial and important issue of whether Hu Shi or Guo Moruo was the origin of new poetry. This book is suitable for readers who are interested in poetry.
