1, keeping pace with the times, showing a positive spirit of exploration and change.
2. Modernist poetry has been publicized and diversified.
3. There is a trend of "marginalization" and "individualization", which makes poetry return to itself.
First, the development of poetry in the new period:
Poetry is a literary and artistic form that pays attention to soul, artistry and lyricism.
Poetry in the new period develops along the two roads of realism and modernism. Before1990s, it showed a diversified trend. After entering1990s, due to the restriction of market economy, it showed an unprecedented low tide.
Development process: a prelude, four climaxes, three episodes and two ebbs.
Preface: "The Remnant Vein of Tiananmen Poetry" has opened a new chapter in poetry creation in the new period.
Four climaxes: returning to the poet, new realistic poetry, misty poetry and the creation of the third generation poetry. They pushed realistic poetry and modernist poetry to a deeper level.
Three episodes: cultural poems, women's poems and "New Frontier Poems". They appear side by side with "misty poetry" and "the third generation poetry", which deepens poetry creation.
Two ebbs: folk writing (Yu Jian) and intellectual writing (Wang Jiaxin) brought poetry back to itself.
Second, from the perspective of time, we can divide the poetry creation in the new period into several periods:
1, brewing period-1978 before poetry creation. Three poetry creation phenomena, such as "the remnants of Tiananmen Poetry", "the returning poet" and neo-realistic poetry, have appeared one after another, connecting and deepening the tradition of realistic poetry. The three poetic phenomena correspond to three themes: exposing and criticizing the Gang of Four, reflecting on history and reflecting new life. Known as the "pre-new poetry tide" period.
2. Growth period-poetry creation from 1978 to 1985. In addition to "the song of returning home" and new realistic poetry, "misty poetry" has risen rapidly and become the most important trend of poetry creation. The appearance of "misty poetry" not only indicates that the poetry with modernist aesthetic characteristics has finally achieved legal status in China's poetry circles, fundamentally changed the traditional poetry style of China, but also indicates that the poetry in the new period has made great achievements. It's called "New Poetry Tide".
3. Transformation period-poetry creation from 1986 to 1990. A group of poets younger than the "misty poetry school" called themselves "the third generation poets" and shouted the slogan of "Down with North Island and Down with Pure Poetry", which rose rapidly and occupied the poetry world. It not only opposes the false, big and empty poetic style of realistic poetry, but also despises the aestheticism tendency of "misty poetry", and puts forward a new aesthetic norm of "returning poetry with poetry", which shows a strong rebellious spirit. The poetry creation of the "third generation poets" makes the poetry world truly diversified, but the mixed situation also makes poetry lose its aesthetic and judging standards. "new generation poets"; New Generation Poetry; "Post-new poetry tide".
4. The elimination period-/kloc-poetry creation since 0/992. Under the influence of market economy and popular culture, poetry has stepped out of the central position of language muse, moved to the edge of society and life, and moved to silence and depression, and has since become a "marginal style". Since then, Yu Jian's "folk writing" and Wang Jiaxin's "intellectual writing (marginal writing)" are quite influential, but much cry and little rain. "No mainstream period".
