This is an era of great poetry, with Wang Jiuxin as the leader. From the early 1990s, the poet Wang Jiuxin took the creation of great poems as his main task, which promoted the rise of poetry in an era. Those heavy metals with flames, with their grand and solid appearance, opened a new era of China's lyric epic. With regard to the connotation of these great poems, Jiang, a young poet critic of the Institute of Chinese New Poetry of Southwest University, gave an answer by accurately deconstructing the texture of Wang Jiuxin's great poems. He pointed out that Wang Jiuxin's poems can be understood from the following three aspects: "Blood soul: a tribute to the national backbone; Bloody thinking: torture and thinking about social life; Bloody love: eternal adherence to the beauty of human feelings, these three "bloodiness" are interlocking, which are the aorta of Wang Jiuxin and even the great poetry writing of this era.

Looking back, we once faced an era that almost ended poetry, that is, the "Ten-year Cultural Revolution". The abnormal development of autocratic culture stifled the lifeblood of all thoughts and arts, and poetry, like other literature and arts, went to a dead end. As a poetry critic said: "(This) extreme aesthetic standards of poetry seriously hampered the poetry creation during the Cultural Revolution. Although the output of poetry at that time was very large (about 100 was published every year in the late Cultural Revolution), most of the poems were just simple illustrations of politics, the accumulation of cliches, and the lack of artistic power to shock the soul. " After the Cultural Revolution, China experienced the fission of diversified social forms, and its ideological and cultural consciousness tended to be broad and multidimensional. Poetry also began to revive in the process of this cultural transformation. In 1970s and 1980s, misty poetry rose rapidly. These poems are mainly personalized and lyrical, showing the characteristics of sharp expression and hazy form, which is a breakpoint in the evolution of democracy, free thought and artistic concept during the May Fourth Movement. Due to the rise of specific historical conditions and the Excellence of poets, the firm trend of misty poetry reflects that the superstructure and ideology on which the development of poetry depends have the mechanism of benign development of poetry, and the third generation of poetry and post-modern poetry have found their own platforms on this basis. Summarizing the history of China's poetry from the new period to the present, the poetry gradually presents a pattern of great opening and development, and various thoughts are surging, such as romanticism, realism, naturalism, emotional realism, absurdism and post-modernism. Sketch, symbol, foil, rendering, contrast, illusion, metonymy, synaesthesia, cadence, dynamic and static combination, positive and negative combination, virtual and real combination, zero-degree lyric, all kinds of techniques blossom. More importantly, our nation has the opportunity and challenge of "reviving the Chinese industry", and the great power, great power thought and great power culture are no longer the things in this paper. When we open the picture scroll of reality, we can see that the market economy has brought the collision of old and new political, economic and humanistic concepts, the intersection of the Yellow River and the blue ocean, the new thinking of multipolarization is taking shape, and the new world of life, spirit and art is being reconstructed. This is an era in which great poetry is called from culture to politics and economy. It is in this specific historical period that Wang Jiuxin found his accurate position and propped up the poetic sun that ignited the national soul. Looking back on Wang Jiuxin's creative process, starting with Crazy Snow, he constructed a three-dimensional epic structure with great poetic consciousness as the focus from the aspects of thought, art and personality consciousness, and persisted in this lofty writing tendency for a long time. In the past ten years, he has written a great poem almost every year, which has formed a gale effect in the writing of great poems in poetry circles. The scene of "Crazy Snow" exposed China of 1990 and awakened China's poetry circle who was addicted to technical poetry writing. Later, because of the historical value and artistry of this work, it was made into an iron wall and stood in the memorial hall for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, which became the eternal memory of China people. It can be said that in the subsequent creation, Wang Jiuxin's sense of mission and the momentum of poetry classicalization became stronger and stronger, such as Heavy Rain in Hand-to-Hand Combat, Charm, Black Stone Bridge on the Blue Moon, and Zhiyuan Sea. His series of long poems were published in the top journals in China, such as People's Literature, China Writers and PLA Literature and Art, which caused widespread social shock. Wang Jiuxin's poems are leading us to re-examine the true meaning of epic poems with grand form and good appearance. The appearance of each of his long poems will bring a sunrise, aiming at gathering people in the poetry circle. Some people describe the social effect of Xiang Hai as follows: "Since Xiang Hai was published on China Poetry Network, nearly 3,000 websites forwarded it in just two months, and more than 4 million people clicked to read it, creating the most online poems." In an era calling for great poetry, this is definitely not an illusory dialect. Eighteen years after "Crazy Snow", the perfect reappearance of "Song of Tamping the Earth" has incomparable poetic significance to other long poems. This long poem represents the latest achievement of Wang Jiuxin's writing. It not only has the ideological height of interrogating history and pursuing truth, but also has the process of artistic change. It is no exaggeration to say that it has surpassed such artistic masterpieces as Crazy Snow. Many personal ideas and artistic creations are out of print, which is the lightning of the mind that directly hits the mind of the perceiver. Let readers tremble and cry when reading. A good poem with penetrating significance will ignite people's souls.

Now, let's go through the time and space opened by Wang Jiuxin and listen to the sound of thunder in the three-dimensional epic Song of the Earth again. This long poem of 1800 lines profoundly reproduces the great historical process of the Long March with high style, burning passion and wise thinking. In addition to the inscription, the whole poem includes six chapters of orthodox poetry and a preface and postscript. The six chapters of orthodox poetry are a portrayal of the whole Long March, including five historical events, such as the Red Army's anti-encirclement campaign, Zunyi Conference, crossing Chishui River four times and crossing Dadu River forcibly. Each chapter begins with a sonorous and magnificent song, which arouses thousands of waves and forms the lyric artery of the whole poem. The writing process of the poet Wang Jiuxin bears the artistic conscience of a philosopher, historian and national hero. With a highly conscious ideology, he made a new reflection on the facts. The Long March written by Wang Jiuxin not only has unforgettable personal feelings, but also reveals the universal symbolic significance of human beings and nations. In Song of Tamping the Earth, he constructed a three-dimensional space of great poetry consciousness from the angle of thought and art, which provided us with a perfect example of great poetry with various enlightenment meanings.
