Gu Cheng is an important representative poet of China misty poetry school, and is known as a contemporary "Left-leaning Romantic" poet. Gu Cheng has high attainments in new poetry, old-style poetry and fable poetry. The phrase "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to look for light" of his generation became a classic sentence in China's new poetry. 1956 was born in a poet's family, and his father was a famous poet Gu Gong. Gu Cheng/Kloc-started his writing career at the age of 0/7, contributing to various newspapers and magazines. 1987 began to travel to Europe for cultural exchange. 1988 lived in seclusion in Rapids Island, New Zealand, and lived a self-sufficient life. 1993, 10 year10.8, he killed his wife Xie Ye with an axe and hanged himself under a big tree.

Gu Cheng is a representative figure of China's misty poetry school in the new period, and is known as a "fairy tale poet" who sees the world with a childlike innocence. Vague poetry, which rose in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was an important part of the exciting ideological and literary "liberation" trend at that time, and it was also the starting point of the new poetry movement in 1980s. 1975, he completed his masterpiece "Fantasia for Life" with prodigy-like talent, and established his own creative style. 1984 wrote "ode to the world", which is introspective and calm in style. Gu Cheng's poems such as Generation and Arc have become "misty poems" repeatedly mentioned in the debate on misty poems. From 1987 to 1993, he wrote the only autobiographical novel Ying Er. His poems often create a fairy tale world far away from the world with jumping short sentences, blurred colors and mumbling monologues. In the early 1980s, Gu Cheng's self changed from attachment to nature to attachment to culture. I have written works with strong speculative color and social consciousness, such as I am a wayward child, a generation, and the tomb of the Red Guards. Gu Cheng wrote many poems dedicated to Xie Ye. In these poems, there are fantastic ideas beyond reality, and they strive to pursue a simple and isolated world.
The language of Gu Cheng's early fairy tales is concise, with the characteristics of children's language, ethereal and pure, short sentences and beautiful artistic conception. The delicate artistic feeling mixes all sounds, sounds, lights and tastes into a wonderful world. Children can be said to be a unique image, and the image of children in Gu Cheng's poems has its own unique meaning. The creation of such poetic images should be said to be quite successful. Image-building in performing arts, as a different style in art categories, sometimes has the same effect. Gu Cheng wrote fairy tale elements such as animals and plants in nature in his poems. Technically, personification is often used; From the perspective of writing, it is a childhood perspective; But in artistic style, simplicity comes from a childlike innocence. Gu Cheng's poems are very natural. Although his poems are far from the appearance of complicated social life, they are close to the real state of quiet and complacent cosmic life. This is precisely the truest and best state of poetry. Gu Cheng's poems are easy to read, and there are no obstacles in image, language and form. Gu Cheng's poems are generally short in sentence structure, uncommon in language, ordinary in words and pure and simple in words. In "I am a wayward child", the poet constructed a fresh and beautiful fairy tale world, and with the poet's unique imagination, he broke the shackles of the real world and realized his spiritual freedom. In The Lonely Man in the North and The Snowhouse of Eskimos, Gu Cheng not only realized the true meaning of marriage and love in the art world, but also devoted his life to pursuing it in real life, even fighting against secularism and morality for the true love in his heart. Gu Cheng, who lives in his own "one-man castle", has the deepest impression and the most common clothing, that is, wearing a high hat with transformed trouser legs. 1992 gave a speech in the Netherlands in June and1992 gave a speech in Germany in February. In the poet's country, the top hat is the crown of imagination. He is his own king. Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye later raised chickens and grew vegetables in Rapids Island, New Zealand, which also meant an independent kingdom and self-sufficiency. Why does he wear a hat? According to his explanation, it is to avoid polluting the world with his own thoughts. Quote Michael Chen: Because his soul tells us that his poems tell us that the world in his eyes is always covered with a thin layer of dust, but his nobility is innate. That hat keeps him away from the world and close to it.

Only if your life is beautiful, the world is beautiful. -"Attend to Lu Si" from Gu Cheng.
The night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I used them to look for light-Gu Cheng's generation.
I am a wayward child, and I want to erase all my misfortunes. I want to draw all the windows on the earth, so that all eyes accustomed to darkness can get used to light. -"I am a wayward child" from Gu Cheng
I know that eternal death arrival is not sad. There is my wish in the pine forest. Below is a sea, which looks like pool water from a distance. What is with me is the afternoon sunshine. Time is running out, and the world is long. We should have a rest in the middle. Passers-by say the branches are low. People passing by say that the branches are growing. -Gucheng tomb bed
I have never been known by anyone, so I have not been forgotten by anyone. Living in other people's memories is not my purpose. -Gu Cheng's Early Seeds
When I wake up, the world is gone. I need the craziest wind and the quietest sea-Gu Cheng's The World and Me and The Eighth Morning.
My heart is a city, the smallest city. There is no messy market and there are not many residents. Cold and clear, cold and clear, only a fallen leaf, only a bunch of flowers, but also secretly hidden childhood affection. -"I am a small town" comes from the ancient city.
A person's life can be good or bad; You can live a hundred years or not; You can be an artist or you can saw wood. It doesn't make much difference But one thing is that he can't be unrecognizable, can't become a ghost, can't talk nonsense, can't lie, and can't see himself when he wakes up and feels ugly. A person wants live high, clean. -Gu Cheng, "One should live a clean life".
You, look at me for a while, look at the clouds for a while. I think when you look at me, it's far away, and when you look at the clouds, it's close. -"Far and Near" from Gu Cheng
