蘇雪林早年享譽中國現代文壇著作為《綠天》與《棘心》，屬於新文藝創作；關於舊文學，則有詩集《燈前詩草》及散見日記集與報刊之偶作。《燈前詩草》的創作時代在晚清與民初之際，蘇雪林乃身經五四新文學運動之人，曾自言「余所為詩詞皆不足觀」，後又有新詩評論著作。本文透過蘇雪林之古典詩創作及新詩評論探討其對新舊詩的接納與排斥，蘇雪林以創作與評論的實際行動對新舊接替的時代作出回應。

In her early years as a writer, Su Xue-lin was famous in the modern
Chinese literary community for her works Lu Tian and Ji Xin, which can be
categorized as part of her modern literary creation. As to her classical
literary works, Su published a collection of poems entitled Teng-Chien-
Shi-Tsao, literally meaning Writing Poems in front of the Lamp, and a
number of poems scattered occasionally in her diary and newspapers.
Teng-Chien-Shi-Tsao was composed at the juncture between the late Qing
dynasty and the early years of the Republic. Being a writer who went
through the May Fourth Movement, Su once remarked on her own work,
All the poems I have composed are not good enough for people to read,
and subsequently came up with her criticism of modern poetry. This paper
explores how Su Xue-lin accepted and rejected classical/modern poetry
based on her classical poetry composition and modern poetry criticism,
which can be seen as her concrete actions in response to the transition from the old to the modern age.
