Poetry was sent in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with representatives of Beidao, Shuting, Gucheng, He Jiang and Yang Lian. As a creative group, "misty poetry" has not formed a unified organizational form, nor has it issued a declaration. But it has formed a "rising poetry group" with its own independent artistic thoughts and creative achievements. At that time, there was a debate about misty poetry in the literary world. The spiritual connotation of "misty poetry" has three levels: one is to expose darkness and social criticism; Second, seeking light in the dark, reflecting the sense of exploration and strong heroism; Third, based on humanitarianism's special concern for "people". "Misty poetry" rewrites the traditional model of describing "reality" and illustrating policies in the past, and regards poetry as an important way to explore life, which has reached an unprecedented height in philosophical significance. In a sense, the rise of "misty poetry" is also the rise of the life tree of China literature.
Obscure poetry came into being in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which changed the characteristics of "clarity" of new poetry, and its content was meaningful. It emphasizes the poet's self-awareness, and often uses symbols, metaphors, illusions, hallucinations and other means to turn a single image of a poem into a multi-level image superposition, which casts a hazy color on the poem and gives people a unique aesthetic feeling. Representative poets include Shu Ting, Bei Dao and Gu Cheng.
