Shen Yin mo

Shen Yin-mo (沈尹默) (1883–1971) was a well-known Chinese poet and (calligrapher). He made his name in Kyoto, Japan. He was one of the first to write in the new style and he published his poems in periodicals such as La Jeunesse (Xin Qingnian 新青年) and Xin Chao (新潮, The Renaissance). Two works that made him famous were Sanxian Ji (三弦集) and Qiuming Ji (秋明集). He also wrote poems in the classical style. In his poems, he used rhyme and alliteration similarly to the way they had come to be used in classical poetry.

Around 1950, his poems appeared prominently in the literature supplement of the dailies Guangming Ribao (光明日报), Wen Huibao (文汇报), and Jiefangribao (解放日报). However, no complete edition of his works was ever made.

He was also known as a calligrapher. He was director of a research institute and published historical studies on calligraphy.
