The situation of upsurge poetry: between "tradition" and "pioneer"

Recently, I wrote an article commenting on Wang Guozhen's poems, entitled "In the Valley of the Confrontation between Tradition and Pioneer". It is mentioned in the article that Wang Guozhen has found a fertile land in this "canyon" and "grown into its own scenery". In fact, the same is true of Xi Murong and Luo Pai. So will future poets.

"Tradition" and "Pioneer" were originally opposites, but their attitude towards upsurge poetry was the same-they stood on the side of poetry and performed a mixed duet on it.

"Tradition" mainly accuses upsurge poetry of not showing the main theme of the times. This accusation is not groundless, because most of the upsurge poets wrote "I", even some trivial things. But I don't think this is out of tune with the main theme. Praising the loyalty of love, expressing nostalgia for hometown, encouraging people not to be depressed in the face of setbacks today, not to be pessimistic in their twilight years, expressing their desire to break through the iron rice bowl, etc., are not the opposite of the main theme, but a harmonious concerto. Hot poets convey warm love and encourage people to make great efforts without deviating from the spirit of the times. Of course, people want to catch bad guys when they are in love, and write "I" when I am frustrated and laugh at the world without sighing. , has a very high ideological realm, but if not, it does not mean a departure from the "double behavior." President Mao Zedong emphasized the unity of motivation and effect at the Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art, which still has guiding significance. If the content of a work is divorced from the reality of readers' thoughts and feelings, it is difficult for people to accept it. As a result, Ren's works have a high ideological level and poor effect. Can "poetry" such as "what is not available in the world, we will create the most advanced in the world, and we will catch up" really serve the people and socialism? We should always adhere to the "double action" policy. The so-called "persistence" means earnest implementation, not just words. Please don't forget that teenagers are a part of the people and a very important part. Because we are the failure of our country and the hope of our cause. It is beneficial to the socialist cause to cultivate their temperament, purify their souls and cultivate their love for truth, goodness and beauty through poetry.

The experience of poetry craze is worth learning. Poets must think of boys and girls and strive to create their favorite poems. Walking among them, sharing joys and sorrows with them, and pulling down Yan's cold face will make you get gorgeous youth.

The "avant-garde" seems to have given up the prayer for artistic tolerance ten years ago, and their criticism of the upsurge poetry is extremely severe. The article "Wang Guozhen fever is really a misunderstanding of history" is a representative. The author of this article asserts that Wang Shi has degenerated into a handmaiden and a player; I resent Wang Guozhen's view that "my poetry is reader-oriented" and accuse Wang of "making poetry fall from the dominant position and act as a tool for enlightenment or some secular needs", which leads to "the annihilation of poetry conscience" and at least makes China's poetry go backwards for ten years-everything in this decade is finally obtained by China's modern poetry from "misty poetry" to the painful pursuit of the new generation of poets for more than ten years. "The critics are so excited that they can't live with Wang Guozhen.

This is the most vivid expression of the "pioneer" attitude of the upsurge poetry.

Poetry is an independent art form, so we must pay attention to its "noumenon". However, if poetry is rigidly divorced from society and readers, it will be "pure" and empty. The author of this article declared that "the explorers of avant-garde poetry gradually turned their eyes from the outside world to the inside, and had a deeper experience and grasp of existence." This kind of exploration should undoubtedly be respected, but may I ask; As an object of exploration, can you "survive" once you leave society? Poetry should be reader-centered, otherwise what is it for? Even if the masterpiece is "pure" to 100%, someone must appreciate it. "Poetic conscience" comes from the poet's conscience, advocating truth, goodness and beauty, and lashing the false, evil and ugly as its characteristics. Therefore, poetry should not shy away from the responsibility of enlightenment, but should dare to face the "secular". Nowadays, "secularity" has been occupied by bizarre martial arts novels and delicate pop songs. It will be a good thing if poetry can settle in and make the "vulgarity" in this world less. The noumenon emphasized by "Pioneer" actually refers to artistry, which is not necessarily compatible with "Enlightenment" and "Secularity". Hot poetry pursues the combination of the two and has achieved gratifying success. Advise this friend: don't miss the unprecedented gathering of 1986, because it is not the glory of "pioneer", but really "never recognized by serious poets" and "abusing language", as evidenced by the above-mentioned vernacular, big "black words" and big swearing. To tell the truth, without this "rally", readers would not welcome Xi Murong and Wang Guozhen so warmly, and there would be no poetry craze.

Hot poems roll and flow in the canyon where "tradition" and "pioneer" confront each other, and the heat wave beats against the canyon wall. No matter what echo the gorge wall sends out, it can't stop it from moving forward. Straight into the hearts of many readers.

Don't people want a hundred flowers to blossom? So, why not let the craze poetry occupy its own place?
