The term''juxtaposition''emerged in modern Western arts with the rise of the anti-rationalism movement .This method of modern aesthetics is characterized by situating side by side discrete particulars without any form of connectives to represent the real world and the true relation of the objects .It is the modernist poet Ezra Pound who has fully developed the aesthetic idea of''juxtaposition''in the field of poetry .The technique of''juxtaposition''was implicit in his early works in the discussion of energizing poetry .Pound started to search for''language beyond metaphor''from the very beginning of his poetic career .The idea of''juxtaposition''was clarified and confirmed by the aesthetics of traditional Chinese poetry and Chinese written characters . Pound expounded that the''juxtaposition''of seemingly unrelated particulars were capable of suggestingideas and concepts through their relations and he gradually formulated his unique mode of''juxtaposition '',w hich has offered a new approach to the reform of English poetry . Ezra Pound's employment of''juxtaposition''has aroused the interests of scholars of comparative poetics .The overseas scholar Wai-lim Yip further discusses the poetic term of''juxtaposition''in the Chinese context to highlight the features of traditional Chinese poetry .His main arguments are that Chinese poetry is influenced by the underlying ancient Chinese philosophy of seeking the correspondence between nature and human world ,and the relationships between''juxtaposed''images in Chinese poetry are the moreexpressive for being left unsaid since they resemble the relation of objectsin the real world . Yip's elaboration on''juxtaposition''contributes to a new dimension to the appreciation of traditional Chinese poetry . In the context of comparative poetics ,the appropriate adoption of poetic terms and modes from another culture is of vital importance .It is our hope that this case study of the transference of''juxtaposition''f rom West to East may provide a new perspective in this area .
