By the Revolution of 1911, Wang’s thoughts could be divided into two stages. In the first stage, he worried about the life that his works created in the first stage demonstrated his questions, woes, and worry towards the dilemmas of life, the living status, and existence values, as well as towards the boring and short life time. He was able to manifest the western philosophical ideas through Chinese poetic forms and to converge both Chinese and western academic ideas together which pointed out direction of the development of the classical poetry.
