1in the spring of 985, the publication of "They", which had been brewing for a year, caused great repercussions in the poetry circle. The publication of "They" became an important symbol of the rise of the third generation of poets, and its leading figures Yu Jian and Han Dong became the representative poets of the "Third Generation Poetry Movement". The publication of Yu Jian's poem No.6 Shangyi Street (65438-0986) has had an important influence on the oral writing atmosphere of contemporary avant-garde poetry in China. From the very beginning, Yu Jian's name was closely linked with the avant-garde movement that arose in 1985. Flying published by 1998 and Zero File published by 1994 are regarded as the most advanced works in the exploration of contemporary poetry in China. Han Dong's famous proposition "Poetry ends with language" is a denial of the "historical truth spokesman" played by the "misty poetry school". His poetry works such as Mountain Man, About Wild Goose Pagoda and Have You Seen the Sea represent the highest level of daily life and anti-hero writing tendency in the poetry creation of the third generation.
Representative poets: Yu Jian, Han Dong, Ding Dang, Xiao Hai, Liu Lizhong, Zhu Wen, Lu Dean, Lu Yimin, Yang Ke, Pu Min, Calvin and Wu Chenjun.
