Eliot's tradition and personal talent were translated into Chinese by the famous poet Bian as early as 1930s. For this far-reaching paper, Borges said, on the contrary, we created ancestors and traditions, not traditions created us. After The Waste Land was published, various interpretations emerged one after another, and people often regarded it as a portrayal of the decline of Western civilization. Some critics have also made a fuss about The Rescue of Wasteland, arguing that Wasteland is essentially different from Ulysses. Eliot described lonely individuals shivering in the face of endless darkness. Solving all kinds of problems in contemporary society is beyond human power, so we can only wait for the rain in the rumble of thunder.

Yan Feng, an associate professor in the Chinese Department of Fudan University, recalled that in the 1980s, there was a saying among domestic college students that it was futile for Eliot to read all his poems, which showed Eliot's great influence on China's cultural circles. Now that poetry is marginalized, the publication of Eliot's collected works makes people feel "20 years late". Zhang Xinying, a well-known literary critic and professor of Chinese Department of Fudan University, also said that many famous poets have expressed their profound influence on Eliot in the history of modern and contemporary poetry in China. For example, Xu Zhimo once wrote West Window in Eliot's poetic style. Bian, Ji Xia 'an, Mu Dan and others were also deeply influenced by it. "From Xu Zhimo and Sun Dayu in those days to today's literary youth, generations have read Eliot's long poem The Waste Land and Pruefer Locke's love songs, which constitute an unforgettable memory of China literature."

Eliot was also one of the most important British critics in the 20th century, and his ideal of "* * * pursuing correct judgment" once became an attractive slogan. Eliot's first anthology, The Sacred Forest, makes readers feel the authoritative voice of opening a new era. His anthology 19 17- 1932 is a rare classic in the history of British criticism.
