On Three Expressive Ways of Geographical Images in XU Chi's Poems ——A Case Study of His Poems in the 1930s

There existed three expressive ways of geographical images in XU Chi's poems of 1920s, especially of 1930s: the self-centered plane observation of natural geography which led to the geographical images in plane form, the stereoscopic observation of China, world and unverse which contributed to the three-dimensional form of the geographical images, the deep observation of his hometown, towns and world which resulted in the symbolic form of such images. The connotation and artistic expression of the poems in plane form are not so deep. While those in stereoscopic form can impress people with the vast images and multi-space of imagination. And the poems in symbolic form may often give people vast poetic and beautiful space and the endless aftertastes. Such three expressive means in his poems did not exist absolutely. They are often interwoven. We can find XU's poetic composition was not stable, but in constant exploration around the geographical images.
