Elegance includes two morphemes. One is Canon, which means standard, basic, Canon ... The other is elegant, pure, beautiful and good. In Chang Yao's poems, some words are used in an ingenious way, such as comet, aurora or UFO, which are well-founded and pure and standardized; It is a noble, ancient and elegant style with far-reaching academic atmosphere and fundamental significance. More intuitively, it is a kind of diamond-like word quality, which can't be satisfied with the fact that some words have lost their expressive power in inertial use, but penetrates the shell of the conventional noun of this thing and extracts the light core hidden inside and renames it. For example, if some striking words such as "Yuan Ye" and "Xiye" are not extracted from several joints in the poem "Yuan Ye", "Yuan Ye" will be reduced to "wilderness", or "grassland" and "Xiye" will be reduced to "night" (this is the most common way to use words in general writing), and "
This elegant language feature conveys all kinds of information. First of all, it is the embodiment of Chang Yao's rare upbringing and bright soul to contemporary poets, and it is the psychological symbol of his instinctive rejection of vulgar and beautiful things. Secondly, it is because of his worship of "exquisite" quality in artistic creation. The so-called exquisiteness is actually a technical standard of Excellence. In this technical standard of a poet, it is the greatest perfection that a work of art can achieve. Thirdly, it reflects Changyao's high-intensity induction and transformation of the aesthetic heterogeneity contained in the original ecology of plateau aborigines. That is to say, this kind of aesthetic heterogeneity, which is in a crude and nameless state, is transformed and recreated with elegant character, thus highlighting the magnificent scenery of the beauty of heterogeneity in the gloomy world of China's popular poetry.
Thus, just like the independent grassland pride in his works, Chang Yao has completely established his own poetic language system when he entered this writing field. From the poem "Lakeside", we can see that Chang Yao almost completely abandoned the usual way of language image here, and formed an independent semantic coding system-Qinghai Lake became "Ku Counord" with the strange feeling completely obtained from the original scene of plateau aborigines for the first time; The tent on the grassland has become a "house made of animal hair", blowing the fire in the furnace with its mouth and becoming a "fire in the furnace"; The mud flute has become a "seven-hole wind" ... Changyao's persistence and transformation of the authenticity of plateau ecological information in such a language way has opened a landscape sketch gallery for the history of contemporary poetry in China.
