Zhang (a famous writer and scholar): He has his own beliefs, which are carried out in his writing and life, which is the implementation of life. Faith is a support and energy. Poetry contains faith in a sense, because poetry is a luminous thing and a breathing channel for the soul.
Wang Hongguo (a famous poet): an old hand in poetry writing, he needs to give artistic criticism to help him improve; For a novice, he needs encouragement to help him build his interest and confidence in writing. Dong Xiyang is a sincere and enthusiastic young man, whether he treats others, himself or writing, which determines the possibility of his success in poetry creation.
Chen Jiu (post-80s avant-garde poet, ci writers): I remember Dong Xiyang summed up his views on poetry in a few simple words: "Poetry is a concern and presentation of life, so we should restore poetry to life and expand its spiritual dimension in a happy life." In these seemingly simple words, it is not difficult to see that the post-80s are willing to share poems with life, and it is not difficult to see that young people are enjoying life while writing poems. Because in our minds, people who write poems are always full of sadness and endless desolation, but in Xiyang, I have not read any such signs.
Huang Yunfeng (post-80s poet and writer): Dong Xiyang almost always uses his poems to point to a problem, that is, how to "solve our own problems", so he wants to "empty himself" ("we lost our surname") and "fill himself" like a leather bag burning with fire ("the whistle of kitchen smoke"); This kind of hesitation is everywhere, so he will "set a trap for himself and jump in" (practice his language), and in turn, he can "call himself an iou" and "prove that the world of mortals has been here and lived" (call himself an iou).
Huang (Sichuan poet): Among the post-80s poets, few pray and write poems in the name of religion. I admire them both, one is Kadai and the other is Dong Xiyang. If we say that Jia Dai's poems present a nation full of faith and persistent in faith with one person's faith.
Sun Bo (post-90s poet): Dong Xiyang's poems reveal a rational examination of himself and society everywhere, and contain a heavy historical vicissitudes. He is good at finding bright spots in peace and finding poetry in life. Dong Xiyang is a poet with comprehensive aesthetics, especially good at the comprehensive description of land, water, sun and its derivatives, marginal things and the selection of images. His poetry text seems to be an extension of poetry's return to its own aesthetics. "The last rain doesn't look like April/the growth of the city needs a little evidence/it looks like the wind, like a fan left by the sun/without the characteristics of marine climate", and the poet captured this with a unique eye.
