The Origin of the Third Generation Poet's Title "The Third Generation Poet"

The initial formulation of "the third generation of poetry" began in 1982, which was put forward by college students from several universities in Sichuan, including Hu Dong, Zhao Ye and Tang Yaping from Sichuan University, Liao Xi from Southwest Normal University and Wan Xia and Zhu Zhiyong from Nanchong Normal University, at a poetry debate in Beibei, Chongqing in June 1982. At that time, the students of Southwest Normal University borrowed Mao Zedong's famous formulation: Imperial capitalism pinned the dream of restoration on our third and fourth generations. However, after this concept was put forward, no specific poetry genre and text appeared. Until 1983, at that time, (He), Deng Xiang and Niu Huang of Chengdu University of Technology, Tang Yaping and Hu Xiaobo of Sichuan University established the "Chengdu College Students' Poetry Alliance", and then edited and published the third generation of poetry collections, including Zhao Ye's collection of poems "Random Thoughts", and Deng Xiang's poems "One Man" and "One Man" had a wide influence. The third generation is the earliest poetry text of the third generation poets, and it is also a sign that the third generation poets stand up from the hazy poets. Born in the 1960s, a group of poets appeared in the late 1980s.

There are:, Yu Jian, Xu Jingya, Silent, Duoduo, Wan Xia, Yang Li,, Deng Xiang,, He,,,, Wang Mingyun, etc.

This huge team is full of "schools", which are manifested in Nanjing "They", Shanghai "Hai Poetry School", Sichuan "Stupid" and "Fei Fei Fei Doctrine".

It is famous for writing popular poems and private novels. In recent years, he has made some progress in novel creation and is called "the new generation writer". The third generation of poets used symbolism, black humor, imagism and other methods to combine objects and images mechanically, which made poetry confusing, incomprehensible and even unimaginable. "A 3,000-year-old skeleton/smiling from the sharp corner of the hillside/grasping the walking sign/the sunset bleeding in the hole//blood drops falling into the soil/forming a gully/voice trembling." This is a passage from Monroe's Twilight Rift, and poems like this almost cover the sky of the poetry of the third generation of poets.

After the mid-1980s, the once-noisy misty poetry gradually quieted down, and its ideological connotation and artistic form gradually matured, that is, its creative style, such as leaping structure, novel images and spiritual core of paying attention to reality, gradually became a new tradition. In this case, some young people who grew up under the influence of misty poetry began to be dissatisfied with its stagnation and limitation, so they decided to explore and create a new way of poetry. Their poems with strong experimental flavor are really different from their predecessors, so according to the time when this group appeared, the critics called them "the third generation poets" to distinguish them from the first generation poets with strong political ideology after the founding of the People's Republic of China, such as Gong Liu and Bai Hua. The second generation of hazy poets who publicize their individuality but pay attention to society, such as Shu Ting and Bei Dao. Of course, since the mid-1980s, criticism is as diverse as creation, so there are various names for this poetic school group, such as "post-new poetic tide", "avant-garde", "new generation", "later poetic school" and "post-obscure poetic school", and most of them are named with reference to the obscure poetic school.
