1July, 922, went to Chicago Academy of Fine Arts to study. At the end of the year, the Winter Night Grass Review, co-authored with Liang Shiqiu, represented Wen Yiduo's early view of new poetry.

The first book of poetry, Red Candle, was published in 1923, which combined the theme of anti-imperialism and patriotism with the form of aestheticism.

1925 After returning to China in May, he successively served as a professor at the Fourth National Sun Yat-sen University (1928 was renamed as Central University, and 1949 was renamed as Nanjing University), Wuhan University (the first dean of the Faculty of Arts and designed the school emblem), National Shandong University, Tsinghua University and Southwest Associated University. He used to be the provost of Beijing Institute of Art and the director of the Foreign Languages Department of Nanjing No.4 Sun Yat-sen University.

The second book of poetry, Dead Water, was published in 1928, showing deep patriotic passion in decadence. Since then, he has devoted himself to the study of classical literature. Four ancient books, The Book of Changes, The Book of Songs, Zhuangzi and The Songs of the South, were sorted out and studied, and then compiled into Classical New Meaning, which was called "unprecedented by Guo Moruo".

In the "December 1st" patriotic movement of students, Wen Yiduo [1] finally stood on the side of patriotic students, guiding and encouraging them to be brave and good at fighting, and made important contributions to the victory of the "December 1st" movement.

Wen Yiduo (1945) was a member of China Democratic League, governor of Yunnan Province and president of Kunming Democracy Weekly. 1946 On July 5th, he delivered the famous "Last Speech" at the conference in memory of Mr. Li Gongpu, and was killed by the Kuomintang spy that afternoon.

Zhu Ziqing once wrote poems praising Wen Yiduo:

You are the flame that illuminates the abyss; Teach young people to catch themselves in disappointment. You are a fire, illuminating the ancient times; Songs and dances and competitions are like tigers. You are the fire that illuminates the devil; Burn yourself! There is a new China in the embers! Wen Yiduo's poems have strong national consciousness and temperament. Patriotism runs through all his poems and becomes the keynote of his poetry creation. As early as when he was studying in Tsinghua, he successfully sang his ideals and love with China's traditional poetry themes and imagery vocabulary. His masterpieces, such as Ode to the Sun, Laundry Song, Lonely Goose and Remembering Chrysanthemum, during his stay in the United States showed his contempt for the "civilization" of imperialism and his yearning for the motherland. Such as Prayer, Patriotism, One Word, I'm from China, Song of Seven Sons and other poems. In the early days of his return to China, the poet showed his national pride with fiery emotions, complete images and harmonious melodies. Compared with previous works, the poems in the "stagnant water" period have wider themes, deeper thoughts and further connection with the social reality in China. Poems such as "Spring" and "Abandoned Village" are full of sympathy for the working people who are in deep trouble in the warlord melee; Poems such as "Mourning-Commemorating the Tiananmen Square Massacre on March 18" and "Bullying" directly point to the atrocities of Beiyang warlords. In the poem Discovery, the poet is puzzled and uneasy in the face of the reality of warlord scuffle, invasion by foreign powers, broken mountains and rivers and people's poverty. He "asked the sky, forcing the wind all around", but "can't always ask for news." Wen Yiduo's poems inherited the patriotic tradition in Qu Yuan's and Du Fu's creation, and have a distinct sense of the times and social criticism.

Song of the Seven Sons is a group of seven poems written by Mr. Wen Yiduo during his stay in the United States in March 1925. They are Macau, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, Ahava, Guangzhou Bay, Kowloon and Lushun and Dalian. Among them, Macau, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province were selected as the second volume of the fourth grade Chinese textbook published by Beijing Normal University.

Wen Yiduo's poems are the practice of his artistic ideas. Most of his poems are like oil paintings with heavy colors. He not only likes to paint images with strong brushstrokes, but also plays up the atmosphere. He is especially good at changing different emotional colors in bold imagination and novel metaphors. Coupled with harmonious syllables and well-organized poems, his poems become a complete work of art, but sometimes they lose the brilliance of simple and natural beauty because of deliberate carving. Wen Yiduo's poems created a new genre of metrical poetry and influenced many later poets.

He is the author of Cenjiazhou Chronology, Kuangzhai Poems, Teana Poems, Xintai Poems, Hongzi, Interpretation of the Legend of Goddess in the Tang Dynasty, Interpretation of Lisao, Postscript of Dunhuang Old Banknotes and Songs of Chu, New Meaning of the Book of Songs, Interpretation of Zhu, etc. , and published the complete works of Wen Yiduo.
