The third generation does not belong to a certain poetry school, but refers to a large number of poets who appeared after the pre-obscure poetry school. Also known as the new generation, the new generation and the post-misty poetry tide, it is marked by the China Modern Poetry Group Exhibition in June 1986+00. The third generation of poets was gradually formed after they separated from the misty poetry school after 1982; They are still influenced by the pre-misty poetry school in their poetry writing techniques, but they learn more from the writing principles of post-modernism in Europe and America. Anti-hero, anti-sublimity and common people are one of the main characteristics of their creation. They have many characters, various schools, and their specific opinions are quite complex and diverse. They often start from the interests of the group and then go against the generation and the group, or try to be independent and lonely when they are mature, or stay out of all social and cultural significance, but their unified banner has always been life consciousness-that is, to strongly establish the individual's ontological value and construct literature, which is a deep-rooted anti-cultural ontological thought starting from the traditional inferiority of the anti-nation. They began to experiment and rebel with "post-cultural experimental poetry", and then firmly established the position and attitude of the ultimate marginal experimental poetry, that is, avant-garde poetry, so they are avant-garde poets. The third generation of poetry school has a considerable number of people and a large number of organizations, and in the process of development, it has continuously differentiated into more specific poetry schools. The main writing tendencies are: non-non-non-non-poetry school, other poetry schools, intellectual writing, heroic writing, ignorance and so on.
