Many ancient Chinese poets attached importance to images in the creation of their poems. The single,disjunct,juxtaposed or super-imposed images are frequently employed in the ancient Chinese po-ems especially in Tang poems. Ezra Pound,tried to perceive the Chinese ideogram as a complex of images and derived from it the concept of a many layered,fantasti-cally interlocking poetry. Nevertheless what the Imagists sought was the outward structure of the poems and what they imitated was only the form of the ancient Chinese poetry. However,Imagism did contribute to the poetry of early twenti-eth century by its concise,tight and precise aspects and its artisic fea-tures in presenting images. It has dramatically in turn influenced the modern and contemporary Chinese poets. Hu Shi,who adopted what Imagism advocated,put forward in 1917 cight principles in composing modern poems. “Nine-Leaf Poets” in the 40’s, termed as the New Modernists,were this way or that keen in creating novel images in their poems. And poets of obscurity, who surfaced in 1979, disregard-ing established conventions, were particularly good at producing groups of images which are usually vague and indefinite in meanings.Images in modern and contemporary Chinese poems are different from either Imagism or Tang poems. They have undergone some changes and have developed in meaning and the way they are present-ed. The ancient Chinese poets attached importance to images in the creation of their poems.
