A Special Concept of Poetry in Early New Poetry——On Kang Bai-qing's Distinction of the Roles Played by the New and Old-style Poetry

Unlike Hu Shi,who tries to resist the old style poems completely,Kang Bai-qing writes new poems as well as the old-style ones.The different-style poems writing shown in his concept and practice results from his clear distinction made between them.The new poetry representing new spirit is new in its form,different from the old-style poetry in form and interest.However,the old-style poetry being short of new spirit may also be written and refreshed freely.
