Folk writing is a completely different way of poetry writing from the writing practice of intellectuals. This concept was put forward in1990s as a concept against "intellectual writing".
Poets of folk writing believe that writing should give full play to the advantages of common language and even local dialects without any norms on the basis of colloquialism, and describe direct life experience and objective existence. For folk poets, folk writing is colloquial writing, which negates the original theoretical system structure of modern poetry.
