What is the writing situation of "new generation" experimental poetry?

(1) In the following years, starting from 1984, Sichuan was the most active area for experimental poetry in the "new generation". The first striking thing is the creation of the so-called "modern epic". Later, they used different names such as "holism" and "neo-traditionalism" to summarize their artistic pursuits.

(2) The advocates of holism are Shi Guanghua, Yang, Liu Taiheng, Song Quhe, and the advocates of new traditionalism are Liao Yiwu and Ouyang. Their theoretical ideas can be examined in the trend of literary root-seeking in this period, and their cognitive attitudes towards "tradition" are also different: either they want to find opportunities for modern people to get rid of realistic difficulties and spiritual crises from the "core" of national cultural psychology, or they want to shake the stable structure formed by national inertia force in returning to "tradition". They tend to draw materials from ancient customs, myths and legends in the south to form an ancient world in their imagination as their spiritual form-a new modern "myth".

(3) The "epic" created by the author is often a huge structure, and all kinds of allusions and legends are concentrated in the poem. The strangeness, arduousness and complexity of language use (words and sentence patterns) are unprecedented in the history of China's new poetry development. The great obstacle between these works and most readers has always been an insurmountable problem that both authors and readers are aware of.
