New poetry refers to a kind of poetry genre which is different from classical poetry and takes vernacular as the basic language means.
In the development of China literature, poetry (including poetry, fu, ci, qu, etc. ) has made great achievements. However, in modern times, the creation of classical poetry has gradually become rigid, "platitudes" are full, and the tendency of "moaning without illness" is quite common. The vocabulary used in classical poetry is seriously out of touch with modern spoken language, which greatly restricts the forms of expressing people's true thoughts and feelings (including sentence patterns, antithetical quotations and even rhymes). Therefore, the New Poetry Revolution became the first and most important part of the May 4th New Literature Movement, represented by Guo Moruo, Xu Zhimo and Dai Wangshu.
Since 1980, a new school of poetry has appeared in the poetry circle, which is called the "misty poetry school". To Shuting, the ancient city, North Island,
He Jiang and other young poets, as pioneers, have formed a "rising poetry group" with their own independent artistic thoughts and creative achievements, although they have not formed a unified organizational form and never made a declaration. At first, their poems seemed to inherit the tradition of modernism or postmodernism, but soon they opened up new fields, went further and became a kingdom of their own.
