Abstract:

Under the uproar of the "peace literature" of the Japanese puppet government the new literature declined and the old-style literature flourished in the enemy occupied areas. During this period in Beijing Yayan was an old-style literary publication which had the greatest impacts attracted the most scholars and had the highest achievements. It is not a puppet government mouthpiece but the journal poetry was mostly disconnected from reality and meaningless under political pressures and there was also a trend of refinement in line with politics.But some Ci poets wrote ingeniously poetry under the guise of "elegance" to express a tearful rage towards the fall of the country. As a result the literary space featured the coexistence of the vacuity and substance under a rhetorical veneer. It was both a political survival strategy under high pressure and a disguised form of "peace literature". The complex forms of Yayan revealed the realistic plight of narrative literature in the occupied regions while the success ofrefined Ci poetry highlights the richness and emotional connotation profundity of old paradigm of art and literature.

Key words:

Yayan, Beijing parnassus, the period of being occupied, the refinement of Ci peotry, strategy of resistance
