Obscure poetry is a very important literary genre in the new period, which is the product of a group of young people (Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, He Jiang, Yang Lian, etc.). They began to awaken their self-awareness in the late Cultural Revolution, reflected on reality in the form of poetry, and pursued the aesthetic value of poetry independence.
As a new wave of poetry, misty poetry presents aesthetic characteristics different from traditional poetry from the beginning. The reaffirmation of man's self-worth, the call for humanitarianism and the return of human nature, and the exploration of man's free mind constitute the ideological core of misty poetry. Imagery, symbolism, cubism and metaphor are the important characteristics of artistic expression of misty poetry.
The hazy poets are undoubtedly a group of messengers who have a strong desire for the bright world. They are good at expressing their dissatisfaction and contempt for the dark side of society through a series of trivial images, which opens up a new world and space for modern image poetry.
"Vague poetry" uses imaginative writing techniques, turns concrete into abstract, pursues the inner melody of poetry, and uses symbols and metaphors to make people have a hazy aesthetic feeling when reading.
