Baudelaire's work entered China in the twentieth century amidst
political and social upheavals accompanied by a "literary
revolution" that called for classical models and modes of
expression to be replaced by vernacular language and contemporary
content. Chinese writers welcomed their meeting with the West and
openly embraced Western literature as providing models in
developing their "new" literature. Baudelaire's reception in China
provides a representative study of this "meeting of East and west."
His work, which has been declared to stand between tradition and
modernity, also lies at the intersection between classical and
modern literature in China. Many of the best known and most highly
regarded writers in twentieth-century China were drawn to
Baudelaire's work, and some addressed it directly in their own
writings. Bien draws upon H.R. Jauss's theory of the shifting and
expanding horizons of expectation in the reading and interpretation
of a literary work, and upon James J.Y. Lin's notion of "worlds"
received and created by both author and reader, to show how poetic
lines, images, and ideas, as well as Chinese critics' comments,
eventually weave into a rich picture of Baudelaire's reception in
China.
