Secondly, as far as the source of religious philosophy is concerned, the poet's main work Flower of Evil is full of various religious images and often full of Christian feelings, and even the content framework of the whole work is related to Christianity. However, unlike other contemporary poets' enthusiastic praise of Christianity, Baudelaire's works are often blasphemous, and he himself has been sued and tried by the court. At that time, Christianity, as a symbol of orthodoxy and authority, became a stumbling block in Baudelaire's creative process in some ways. Baudelaire's contest with religion has never stopped, which is reflected in creative freedom, emotional expression and aesthetic thought. Finally, it is proved that although Baudelaire shouted the slogan "Jesus Christ himself retreated into the eternal night", his poems actually reflected the influence of Christianity on him everywhere.

Second,' Flowers of Evil' reflects the artistic characteristics of western modernist literature

First of all, modernist literature emphasizes the expression of inner life and psychological truth, which is subjective and introverted. Modernist writers believe that the spiritual world is the only real world, and literary creation should reflect the truth of the inner world. Baudelaire himself lives in an evil environment, but he can look at all kinds of ugliness in the world with clear eyes and try not to be swallowed up and destroyed by evil, thus obtaining the beauty of the spiritual world. The opening of "Flowers of Evil" reads: "Stupidity and mistakes, as well as guilt and meanness, occupy our hearts and torment our bodies. We are cultivating our favorite regrets, just like a beggar feeding his own white lice. " The unbearable and ugly side of reality, through the image and tone of prostitutes, beggars and flies, directly opened the curtain of the unbearable and cruel side of modern western civilization to readers. At the same time, Baudelaire achieved the name of "madman" and became the first poet who really went deep into social and personal consciousness to discover and express the ugliness of reality on a large scale.

The fruit of Flowers of Evil is to let people dig out true beauty and goodness in extreme ugliness and hope and light in dark social reality. In Adorno and Appreciation of Ugliness, Chang Yi said: "Baudelaire described many ugly things that were traditionally considered ugly ... showing critical materialistic motives." It is precisely because Baudelaire examines ugliness and evil critically that the dark world in his works avoids ugliness and darkness floating on the surface, which has in-depth critical value. At the same time, Baudelaire also intends to warn the world to transcend the ugliness and evil in the spiritual world, so as to obtain the liberation of the soul and the sublimation of the spiritual world. The pain brought by ugliness can inspire people's spirit, so people become lofty and strong. The emotional experience and spiritual transcendence brought by Flowers of Evil is exactly what he wants to achieve.

Secondly, modernist literature generally adopts symbolic metaphor to pursue the depth of art, and women are often seen in poets' works. There are more than 30 love poems in Flowers of Evil, and Baudelaire highlights three different female images, namely, the black beauty Jenny Duval, Bai Meiren's Mrs. Sabatier and the green-eyed girl Mary Dubran. Among them, the impressive swan songs are Balcony, Forever, Song of Autumn, Invitation to Travel and so on.

In Baudelaire's view, a woman is an elegant girl with a beautiful figure, as described in the poem "Dancing the Snake": "On the thick black hair with fragrance, like a fragrant ocean with blue and brown waves, like a boat waking up in the morning breeze, my dreamy mind sails far away." However, it is also a vicious "vampire", as described in the poem "Vampire": "Like a knife, it pierces my pity heart." Or: "fierce as a group of demons, drunk and crazy, come prepared."
