ABSTRACT

Shang Qin is an exceptional surrealistic poet. In sixty years of two hundred poems, Shang Qin exposes poetry’s cutting edge and his distinctive observation to sketch the vivid image existing in the time and space. If we ignore the meanings,his poetry emphasizes the concept of existence and its substitute. Time and space are the prerequisite to form the cosmos and are also the basic elements for the objects to live in. Shang’s past years were marked by escape. After his body has lost the possibility of escape, other form of escape is into his poems. But in the poems, he tries to escape from the readers. The motives of Shang’s creation are from solitude, uneasiness and emptiness. The poetry full of solitary and anxiousness in the early stage is surrealistic, which entangles between consciousness and unconsciousness. Even until now for almost sixty years of creation, one of the important themes again and again shown in the poetry is to inform us how to escape from the solitude. He concerns the relationship between “ego” and “community.” Furthermore, the surrealist in style derived from the tangle of consciousness and unconsciousness is also to tell the meanings of time and his heart. We cannot deny the significance. Though the poems are diverse and difficult to understand, there is no single m7ethod to interpret fully. If we insist, the misinterpretation will be occurred. In short, his poems have been known for their unique rhythm, imagined and lively spirits, and also the aesthetic. From the views of western contemporary philosophy of life and existence, the people nowadays are compressed and seduced by the worldly desire and are full of rational thinking of materials. The mind is getting apathetic and flagging. On the other hand, the people nowadays with strong awareness and imagine should behighly admired because the awareness and image are not only involved with the psychology level of daily life but also the philosophy level itself. Shang Qin’s poems are equipped with philosophical critics and his prudent writing attitude can be acquired from within. The paper will focus on Shang Qin’s poetry Between Dream and Dawn published in 1969. From existential phenomenology and the consciousness of time and space elimination, we will find out and explain what the real intention of his surrealist poems want to reflect.
