1920年代中国新诗发展述略

1917年2月《新青年》发表胡适的《白话诗八首》,为中国新诗诞生的标志。《新青年》、《新潮》等刊物中两代启蒙者纷纷参与新诗创作尝试,北京大学因之成为新诗诞生的渊薮。与传统诗歌外断内接的深潜联系,异域诗精神与艺术的影响,是新诗发生发展另一动因。为人生与为艺术的兼容并存,写实主义、浪漫主义、象征主义、唯美主义的自由实践,构成新诗多元生态的格局。以文学刊物或社团为中心的诗人群体,胡适、刘半农、郭沫若、冰心、朱自清、冯至、徐志摩、闻一多、李金发、穆木天等诗人,对于新诗书写现实及人生之关系、情感抒写传达方式、自由与格律等理论探索与创作实践,为20世纪20年代新诗萌生与发展、艺术精品的创造作了境界独特风采殊异的贡献。
