Since 1980, a new school of poetry has appeared in the poetry circle, which is called "misty poetry school". A group of young poets, such as Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, Bei Dao and He Jiang. There is no unified organizational form, and no declaration has ever been made, but it has formed a "rising poetry group" with its own independent artistic thoughts and creative achievements.
The position of misty poetry school;
The confirmation of the historical position of "misty poetry" benefits from the theoretical support of "three rises": Xie Mian's Facing the New Rise, Sun Shaozhen's The New Aesthetic Principles are Rising, and Xu Jingya's The Rising Poetry.
Historical achievements of obscure school;
The historical merits and artistic achievements of misty poetry can not be ignored. In an article reviewing the history of China's contemporary poetry for more than 20 years, I once commented on obscure poetry: there are three efforts that have the most substantial influence on China's contemporary poetry, namely, obscure poetry, oral efforts and narrative emphasis. Among them, the appearance of obscure poetry made the tradition of China's new poetry connect with the world again after decades of stagnation, and gradually synchronized. Its greatest contribution is to awaken a modern consciousness.
Modern consciousness of new poetry. Indeed, because most of the obscure poets experienced spiritual crisis, they were quickly attracted by western modernist poetry, which produced a strong * * * sound, which made China's contemporary Chinese poetry leap several steps and gradually reached the same starting line with western modernist poetry.
