The third generation of the third generation poetry movement is the spontaneous action of a whole generation.

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, Wang Bei (He), Deng Xiang, Niu Huang of Chengdu University of Technology, Zhao Ye, Tang Yaping, Hu Xiaobo of Sichuan University and others established the "Chengdu College Students' Poetry Federation", and then edited and published the Third Generation Poetry Collection. At that time, only more than 300 volumes were published, but it had a great influence in the poetry circle, especially among university poets. Poetry has a wide influence, and then it has become a poetry group that has been concerned after the hazy poet.

The third generation poetry movement is a substantial aesthetic deepening of China's poetry since the misty poetry, a substantial deepening of China's poetry since the misty poetry, and a most noteworthy aesthetic turning point of China's poetry. The artistic exploration of the third generation is multipolar, pointing to all kinds of possibilities of poetry, and almost all of them have produced their own representative poets in all dimensions. This eventful autumn, which lasted for more than ten years, explained many major themes of contemporary poetry. Since then, all the main phenomena of China's poetry can be found here. It was not until the end of 1990s that intellectuals and folk writing split, and the turbulent process of the third generation of poetry officially came to an end.

From obscure poetry to the end of 1990s, the development of the third generation poetry movement constitutes the main content of contemporary poetry. This is an era of great division and great growth; It was an extremely rich era, but also an extremely impetuous era; This is an era of rebellion and blindness.
