Abstract: Chen Dongdong has used the term “baroque” many times in his poetic essays and poems. The term “baroque writing” can be used to refer to his creative work of more than forty years. Taking western studies as a reference, Chen Dongdong's “baroque writing” presents two directions: firstly, as Ernst Robert Curtius and others have argued, “Baroque” is the embodiment of a long history of “mannerism”, and Chen Dongdong's aesthetic qualities are basically in line with the tradition of Southern poetry which corresponds to it in general; secondly, as Walter Benjamin's study with a historical-social-critical dimension has shown, “baroque” foreshadows the characteristics of modernist poets and writers, such as Charles Baudelaire and Franz Kafka, and Chen Dongdong has sought to incorporate the local experience of modernity into his own work. These two aspects correspond to the classical origin and modernity of Chen Dongdong's works respectively, and also illustrate his inheritance and reinvention of Chinese Southern poetic tradition.
