Abstract:

The ci and qu writing (two genres of Chinese poetry) has a close relation with the creation of New Poetry. First, Hu Shi, Chen Duxiu and others set good examples for the literary revolution through their reevaluation of the ci and qu poetry. Second, the New Poetry created by Hu Shi, Shen Yin-mo, Liu Dabai and Liu Bannong, borrowed in different degrees from ci and qu in their genres, words, themes and conceptions. The influence of ci and qu on the development of the New Poetry varied for different poets. Moreover, folk songs and foreign poems also had their influence at the same time.

Key words: ci and qu poetry, New Poetry, genre, language, theme, conception
