Abstract:Golden section is one of the most famous aesthetic properties in the arts. The present study explores the golden section in Chinese contemporary poetry texts in terms of the ‘h-point’ on the word-frequency-distribution curves as well as their ‘feet’. It demonstrates that the golden section of the selected Chinese poetry is not sitting on the ‘h-point’, but it is possible for us to investigate the ‘feet’ of them.
