ANALYSIS OF CHINESE SCHOLARS' RESEARCH ON THE EVOLUTION OF NEW POETRY

Abstract

This article examines the late Qing period as a pivotal phase in Chinese literary history, bridging classical traditions and modern literary innovations. It explores the poetic revolution's role in transforming themes, language, and stylistic elements, alongside debates on its relationship with modern new poetry. Highlighting the socio-political and cultural context, the study argues for recognizing late Qing literature as an independent field, crucial for understanding the transition from classical to modern Chinese literature. This period’s literary evolution reflects the dynamic interplay between traditional values and external influences, contributing significantly to the trajectory of Chinese literary heritage.
