Abstract: This paper is intended to employ the intertextual and parodic perspectives to view the intrinsic relationship between American poetry and Chinese poetry from 1919 to 1949, aiming to show that the intertextuality and parody of American poetry upon Chinese poetry from 1919 to 1949 has abundant and refreshing contents. The contents are represented as follows, firstly, imitating Ezra Pound’s Cathay is becoming increasingly popular in American literary circles, thus forming a tensile force; secondly, the translation, introduction and transmission of Chinese philosophies like Confucianism, Daoism and Zen in America are revealing great vitality; thirdly, parodying Chinese classical poetry is a significant channel for American modern poets to fight against academic poets; and fourthly, Chinese poetry is making American poetry diversified in its orientation and development. Therefore, the value of the study is highlighted through observing the particular historic function of the intertextuality and parody of American poetry upon Chinese poetry from 1919 to 1949. Specifically, American poetry in this period realized the unusual textual carnivalization in the intertextuality and parody of Chinese poetry while Chinese poetry has no constant intertextual and parodic reference from American poetry due to the lack of the stability of the external environment.
