ABSTRACT

This is the 70th anniversary of the ‘Nine Lives’ school(‘Chinese New Poetry’) activities. Eight poets, except ZhengMin, have died, but they have left a deep footprint in the history of modern Chinese poetry. Its main publications are 『Poetry creation』 and the 『Chinese New Poetry』. They were attacked by opponents as they shared ideas and artistic ideals. It was an unconditional and overall rejection of the liberal tendency to claim the diversity of literary arts. They were excellent in theory and creativity, but their real influence was not great. Their theory insisted on the modernization of poetry, democratic thinking, and pure artistic discussion. But in the face of the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang opposition, genuine debate was impossible. Since the fall of 1945, the Chinese Democratic Alliance has gathered power and has had a significant impact on political negotiations. Their flag was liberalism. The ‘Chinese New Poetry’ school responded to the attack of the left and maintained a moderate stance. The purpose of this article is a brief review of the misfortune of young poets who had to wage a fierce ideological war. They were forcibly forgotten because they were ahead of their time, but fortunately they were not forgotten forever. The publication of the 『Nine Leaves』 in 1980s is a response to the new evaluation of the ‘Chinese New Poetry’ school.
