Obscure poetry is a school of poetry that rose in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It pursues individuality, seeks self, calls for the return of humanity and truth, goodness and beauty, and has strong enlightenment spirit, critical thinking and awareness of the times. This is a new poetic expression and aesthetic pursuit.
The main characteristics of misty poetry are: first, the spirit of enlightenment and criticism; Second, it returns to the beauty of human nature and daily life. Its representative figures are Bei Dao, Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, He Jiang and Yang Lian.
The so-called misty poetry takes the inner spiritual world as the main object of expression, and uses the artistic strategies and methods of overall image symbol and gradual image perception to cover up feelings, thus making the poetry text between ideographic and implicit, showing the characteristics of vague poetic context and ambiguous theme.
With the spirit of rebellion, it broke the situation that the principle of realistic creation unified the poetry circle at that time, injected new vitality into poetry and brought far-reaching changes to literature in the new period. They think about human nature with realistic consciousness in their poems, affirm people's self-worth and dignity, and pay attention to the expression of the inner feelings of the creative subject.
Misty poetry school
As a creative group, misty poetry has three levels of spiritual connotation: one is to expose darkness and social criticism; Second, looking for light in the dark, reflecting the sense of exploration and strong heroism; Third, based on the special concern of humanitarianism for people.
Obscure poetry rewrites the traditional model of describing reality and illustrating policies in the past, and regards poetry as an important way to explore life, which has reached an unprecedented height in philosophical significance. In a sense, the rise of misty poetry is also the rise of the tree of life in China literature.
