Poetry and Prose from Diffusion to Differentiation:The Interaction between the Modification of the Language of New Poetry and Its Stylistic Development after the Literary Revolution

After the Literary Revolution, the pursuit of writing poems in vernacular Chinese and in the form of prose triggered a tendency to diffuse poetry with prose. With the development of literature, the diffusion attracted people's attention in the literary circle. The desire for poems with unique stylistic characteristics drove the poets to modify the language of the new poetry; their deliberate attempts at the image creation and sound effect of the language of poetry led to a gradual departure of the language of the new poetry from the oral Chinese for the second time, which substantially promoted the stylistic development of the new poetry. The phenomenon of the poetry's first diffusion with and then separation from the prose throws enough light on the relationship between the development of modern Chinese literary style and the transformation of literary language, including the counter impact of the development of style on the transformation of literary language in modern Chinese literature.
