This paper focuses on the musical dimensions of Chen Li' poetry. The first part discusses the relationship between poetry and music, concluding that musicality of poetry not only comes from sounds, but also from the picturesque effects of languages produced by poets, which happens to be Chen Li's strongest points. In the latter analyses, Chen Li's poems are found to musical owing to three aspects: his concrete-poetry characteristics; his addiction to the experiments of repetition techniques; and the last but not the least, his bitter-sweet representations of the world by way of nursery-like rhymes.
