What are the characteristics of misty poetry?

The characteristics of misty poetry can be summarized as: imagery, symbolism and three-dimensional.

1, paying attention to the concept omission and theme suggestion of poetry, makes the theme of misty poetry works vague and ambiguous. The hazy poet adopts this kind of looming expression, and the artistic means such as symbol, image, synaesthesia, suggestion, metaphor and deformation are used, which makes the theme of his works reflect the ambiguity of "inseparable and elusive" and the ambiguity of "poetry is meaningless"

2. Pay attention to the artistic creation method centered on symbolism, rather than the traditional poetry creation method centered on metaphor. In meditation, the poet dismantled the observed object, delivered his life to the inanimate creature, endowed him with a still life and soul, and entered the realm of the same thing from two things.

Applying this "empathy theory" to literary and artistic creation has produced symbolic techniques. Symbolizing attachment, pinning the wandering imagination of hazy poets, has irreplaceable meaning, and is often used to express multi-level themes, complex feelings and abstract consciousness and feelings.

3. Pay attention to the three-dimensional combination of image and image, and often adopt artistic synaesthesia (empathy) and artistic deformation.

4。 They pay attention to the emotional rhythm of jumping and the internal structure and rhythm of liberalization, with the purpose of expressing emotions and venting their hearts, so they don't pay attention to the external structure.

It is not limited to the external sound cycle as the rhythmic beauty of poetry, but attaches importance to the internal sound beauty and other internal rhythmic beauty in poetry lines. Pay special attention to the combination of external rhythm and internal rhythm, so as to make the rhythmic beauty of poetry reach an unprecedented level. ?

The new aesthetic pursuit of misty poetry has also been affirmed by some critics, especially Xie Mian, Sun Shaozhen and Xu Jingya, who call it "the rise of a new aesthetic principle". There is a general understanding in the field of poetry that there is no new poem without translation, and there is no misty poem without grey book. After textual research, Hu Shi's first vernacular poem is actually a translated poem.

Grey books, recognized as the origin of obscure poetry, refer to the so-called "western internal reference and criticism books" in 1960 and 70' s, some of which are western modernist novels and poems. Early misty poets came into contact with these works through various channels and got enlightenment.

After the reform and opening up, the translation of western poetry has changed from classicism, romanticism to modernism, from Pushkin, Byron, Shelley, Tagore, Whitman, Baudelaire, Emily Dickinson, Eliot, Auden, Plath and Akhmatova to broschi, milosz and Stevenson. The trend of copying western modern poetry is even more prevalent.

The name misty poetry itself comes from Zhang Ming's critical article "The Haze of Forgetfulness", which holds that some young poets' poems are obscure and gloomy, which makes people unable to understand and appear "hazy".

This view can be analyzed from two aspects. First, the older generation may find misty poetry difficult to understand, because it wants to express a new mood and spirit of the times, so it is fragmented and incomprehensible.

Second, it may be because this exploration is new and the expression of this new era is unprecedented, so it is inevitably immature. In addition, to express new feelings and experiences, China has traditionally lacked similar resources, so he has to look for resources from the translated poems, and the translated poems themselves are not fluent because of misunderstandings and so on.

Obscure poetry tries to express the new spirit of the times and create a new modern language. However, due to the influence of the times and the lack of poetic art, it has also been questioned after entering Europe and America, such as the conscious imitation and pursuit of the so-called "world literature" and the simplification of poetic expression methods and techniques.
