When evaluating Sister Feng’s poems, you should first pick up “colored glasses”
Shaanxi’s literary publication “Yanhe” magazine published two blog posts on its official blog, one by Internet celebrity “ "Sister Feng" poems and literary criticism of the poems. Yan An, the editor of "Yanhe" magazine, said that without any prejudice, this poem is well written, and it can be seen that it was influenced by the poetry of obscure poets such as Gu Cheng.
When Internet celebrity "Sister Feng" is associated with poetry, controversy will inevitably arise.
However, if you take off the prejudiced "colored glasses" and look at Sister Feng's poems based on literary standards, you will find that her poems are not vulgar, but are filled with a fresh and hazy atmosphere. In the case of "This is a World of Survival of the Fittest", "The yellow sand falling from the sky/has nothing to do with this world/has nothing to do with the rolling crowd/the cleaner is cleaning up an orange/that fell from the tree/the homeless "Orange/In the morning light, a hedgehog swaggers across the street", which is more subtle, meaningful and full of charm than the popular "pear body" and "doggerel" nowadays. If we look at the standard of "using trivial images to express subtlety", it can definitely be included in the "misty poetry".
The editor of "Yanhe" also said: Before selecting Sister Feng's poem manuscript, he first saw the poem itself, and then noticed the author, which was "very surprising." This also shows that the use of Sister Feng's poems is not "for fame and fortune at the expense of quality" and borrowing celebrity status, but "for quality only".
Sister Feng’s poetry has been questioned, which undoubtedly has a lot to do with her public image. However, from the "surprise" and even "contempt" attitude of netizens, it is not difficult to predict that the public's evaluation of Sister Feng's poems is not based on the "poetry standard", but on people's evaluation of poetry.
As Yan An said, "Sister Feng's life morality is not equal to her aesthetic morality." Let's put aside for the moment what kind of person Sister Feng is; it is obviously biased to deny her poetry simply based on her person. When Sister Feng frequently appears in online newspapers, she is certainly a "public figure"; but when she writes poems, her role can also be that of a "poetry author", and the two go hand in hand. Confusing the roles of "talker" and "poetry author" and implanting preconceived notions, misunderstanding is inevitable. Sister Feng also has her own life experience, which can be turned into poetry. If she "writes her heart in her own hand" and adds literary talent, conception and other elements, she can create a masterpiece.
The one-sided evaluation of "people-based essays" creates an eyeball effect and is an indiscriminate consumption and random deconstruction of "Sister Feng". Sister Feng's poems were published in serious literary magazines. It was not that Sister Feng was "pretentious", but that the onlookers were too entertained.
