After Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, he immediately attracted Chinese scholars’ attention and his works were repeatedly translated and popularised in China. During five to six years before and after his visit to China in 1924, some of his popular poems were translated into Chinese, and some of his dramas, novels, monographs, and works were also translated into Chinese, even in the 1930s and 1940s. Chinese writers such as Guo Moruo (1892-1978), Xie Bing Xin (1900-1999), Zheng Zhenduo (1898-1958), Wang Tongzhao (1897-1957) and Xu Zhimo (1896-1931) were influenced by Tagore to different degrees.
