Hu Shi's Translated Poems in Vernacular Chinese and His Chinese Renaissance

Liao Qi-y

Abstract

Hu Shi's translated poems are one essential component of his Chinese Renaissance. Translated poems in the vernacular helped usher in the new poetry, advocate the struggle against the feudalist doctrines, and strove for human values, individuality and dignity. However, his translated poems had greater cultural significance. They were the means to search for the translatability of history—the path for modernization of Chinese politics as well as literature through the modernization of traditional poetry.
