摘      要：Wu Di s comparative studies of Chinese and Western poetry focus on two interrelated considerations: the distinctive artistic appeal of poetic texts and the cultural exchanges between the East and the West. These exchanges are evident in the mutual appreciation of civilizations, which is reflected in the significant artistic discipline of poetry. In his monographs, such as Comparative Studies in European and American Poetry and Studies on English Metaphysical Poetry, Wu Di explores important issues in British poetry and examines the subtle relationship between Chinese and Western poetry, along with its complex influences, all showcased through his keen philosophical thinking and exquisite writing style. Furthermore, he offers an insightful account of the structural and artistic differences between Chinese and Western poetry, as well as their spiritual integration, particularly through the practice of poetry translation. Wu Di has made a commendable effort to build a solid bridge between Chinese and Western cultural exchanges by studying poetic texts from both traditions, which deserves recognition and praise.
