58 05 0 The Thematic Images of the Countryside and the City in Chinese Modernist Poetry Wu Xiaodong Department of Chinese Language and Literature Peking University Beijing 0087 China Abstract Chinese modernist poets in the 930 s could be called a generation of marginal men. Quiet a lot of them came from the rural areas suffered from the pressure of both the traditional civilization and modern civilization in the city and turned into marginal men living in the narrow space between the countryside and the city thus gaining dual attitudes and perspectives with a contrast between the rural and urban areas. These modernist poets reexamined the rural lifestyle on the basis of their modern experiences in the city while they rethought about the modern urban civilization with the countryside as a background and reference. Their dual experiences and perspectives enabled them to feel more profoundly about the confrontation between these two forms of civilization and turned this confrontation into more complex experiences in their inner hearts. When the readers entered into the textual world of modernist poems they would gain a picture of the rich landscape from a civilization to the inner hearts of the poets. By choosing some thematic images from modernist poems this paper is intended to reveal the specific representation of the countryside and the city in Chinese modernist poetry.
