Title Winks in the shadow──Influence study of America's The Beats towards Li Ya-Wei's 
Author Chan, Tah Wei 
Page 153~182 
Abstract Li Ya-Wei’s Mang-Han poetry had become the canonical study in the rise of Mainland China’s third generation poetry towards the fission of obscure poetry. Mang-Han poetry has many similarities with America’s The Beats on various aspects such as the writing style and behavior in concept. This article will inspect the Mang-Han poetry which had been hastily buried into the shadow under The Beats using the comparative literature’s method of influence study. By examining the propagation process, cultural loss, misread of source contexts, writing concept and formed style by Mang-Han’s poet from the works of The Beats in Mainland China till Li Ya-Wei’s experimental avant-garde language, we will conduct a cross-cultural poetry dialectic between Chinese and Western poetry in order to find out with the "highest possible" influence in between Li Ya-Wei and The Beats. We will then define it as: The localized creation from the impact of America’s The Beats towards Mainland China’s literature.
