Intellectuals' writing was put forward by poets Nishikawa, Ouyang in 1987 when they attended the "Youth Poetry Meeting" organized by Poetry Publishing House. Nishikawa believes that he put forward the concept of intellectual writing, on the one hand, he hoped to correct the popular poetry that had been flooded at that time, on the other hand, he hoped to show his attitude towards orthodox poetry serving ideology and obscure poetry attached to ideology with a rebellious attitude. On the other hand, Ouyang He Jiang thinks that the theme of intellectual writing is protest, which is boring. After the era of popular writing has passed, it is a poetic practice that has the consideration of context and language strategy and seeks the vitality of the stage. They believe that the creation of poetry should first be a writing attitude that is responsible for literature and art. In the process of creation, the artistic effects of various writing techniques should be correctly brought into play by accurately handling the language of poetry, so as to accurately express the theme of poetry. In 1990s, the intellectual writing movement was in full swing, and a large number of outstanding intellectual writing poets appeared, such as Xichuan, Ouyang He Jiang, Chen Dongdong, Zhang Zao, Yongming Zhai and Wang Jiaxin.
