Poetry and poets are not respected for many objective reasons. Poetry and poets are created and eliminated by the times. The main reason is that the poet deserved it.
In the early 1980s, modern poetry set off a wave of literature in China. Now, poetry has become spiritual nourishment for the younger generation. Miscellaneous newspapers are everywhere, and scholars cite them all. Love letters and stationery are appendices. This is a seemingly calm and restless era, and poetry has become a wonderful work attracting worldwide attention, growing among a group of young people with weak literary foundation.
It was an era without romantic language. Because of imprisonment, it is conservative, and the class and revolution between men and women have just separated. Love and the expression of love are still in a shy state in the whole society. It is an excessive act to express love and sex with straightforward literature, but both men and women in youth hope to get sensory stimulation through literature, so they begin to express their desire for love and sexual desire with obscure written language. For a time, misty poems mushroomed everywhere.
However, most poets in this period lacked the logic of literary language, and the Cultural Revolution created the literary level of that generation at the lowest point in history.
There is no logical word game and no standardized literary genre, which only gives this generation a literary stage to play freely. They can play with words without restraint. Anyway, this literary genre has no rules of the game and no criteria for judging. Anyone can be a poet and a poetry critic. It was during this period that the whole land of China was a poet and the whole literary world was a poem. Some people also set up poetry schools inexplicably, and poetry associations, poetry clubs, poetry periodicals and poetry newspapers came into being.
Writing a modern poem is nothing more than smoking a cigarette. It doesn't take much time, nor does it need a framework and ideas. No matter the quality of words or the height of thoughts, everyone can write and contribute. The more you write, the more opportunities you have to publish. The more you publish, the louder your name will be, and the higher your artistic conception will be. But time is a scalpel to test the truth. In the past 30 years, people have unveiled this mysterious veil and found that this is a scam that travels through time and space. The poet is deceiving himself, and deceiving others has been deeply explored in the history of modern literature in China. Many poets are ashamed. They are hiding. This is a great miracle in the history of world literature, but it is only a mirage. This is a collective forgery in the history of China literature.
The poetic style of this era is morbid, without the style of Han and Wei dynasties, and almost all poets have entered a state of moaning without illness. The poetic style and literary spirit of an era are closely related to the strength of national strength. Besides praising the love between men and women and mountains and rivers, the poetic style of this period is more sad and indirect, and there are almost no simple, vigorous and straightforward poems. Reading poems of this era, it seems that everyone is suffering from depression. There are many poets and works in this period, but the theme is narrow, the form is monotonous, the style is similar, and it seems that a hundred flowers bloom, but there is no colorful scene.
The morbid poetic style is influenced by political reasons. Ten years of turmoil left poets in a state of depression, and they thought and thought. What was lacking in poetry at that time was vigorous spirit, mostly dim scenery and confusing language. Sadly, this emotion has a great influence. The poet is only immersed in his own "perceptual" creation, and has not taken the time to explore the ways and techniques of poetry creation. On the contrary, some messy graffiti appeared, and a large number of inferior works appeared in modern poetry. Garbage-like poetry is dazzling for a time. Although we saw a vibrant scene, it was originally a sign before death. The destruction of modern poetry is mainly caused by the obscurity of most poems, which is related to the commercialization of works. The utilitarian nature of literature makes poetry lose its aesthetic value, and publishers have to bear all the sins. Poetry is about the layout of planning texts. A poet should not only know how to improve the artistic conception of poetry, but also have the concept of external text structure. In modern poetry writing, many people are making up stories, not only the sentence style is disordered, but also the arrangement of articles lacks methods and skills. This is an important link that many modern poets ignore, so many people spread out a passage and call it a poem. Chaos is not a genre. Poetry is a literal ranking. Don't think that it is a free poem, so you don't need layout. It needs to connect the preceding with the following. More strictly speaking, it is closely related to such sentence patterns as commitment, juxtaposition, contrast, causality and flashback. The lyrics of modern pop songs are more catchy than modern poetry. On the one hand, the grasp of rhythm is better than that of modern poetry, on the other hand, the management of articles is better than that of modern poetry. Comment on the quality of a poem, one is the sense of language, the other is the sentence pattern, the third is the artistic conception, and the fourth is the layout. It's not just to make words fluent, not poetry, but a few words. We should not complain that modern poetry is going to a dead end, nor should we complain that our poems are not recognized. In fact, China's literature education also lacks guidance in this respect. However, China literati have left us a valuable literary heritage for a long time, but we have not studied it and undertaken it. The arrangement of this chapter is too messy for some people to understand. You can divide any paragraph, any word, and a complete sentence can be divided into three or seven points, four or six points and five or five points. This makes people feel that the author is too casual. If you ask him why he split sentences like this, he will certainly find no reason to write a poem to such an absurd extent. How can I recognize it?
Of course, we can only say that the author has no basic literary knowledge, does not understand the application of punctuation, does not understand the distinction between paragraphs, does not understand literary logic, or that he has no sense of language, and you can't find other reasons. Indeed, if you ask these poets to write 20 poems a day, but if you ask these poets to write a practical essay, it may not take three months to grind it out. This is why there is no basic knowledge of literature. You can't find another reason to say that he wrote a good poem. Literary criticism is not easy to write, and it is even harder to write now. Writing will offend people, not only a few people, but also a group of people, people of an era. After all, some poets who once made a name for themselves retired because of self-deception. They no longer want people to mention this genre-free writing, and they don't want those scholars to mention their names, because these things are shallow and can't stand the test of history, and none of them can be passed down from generation to generation. It is a misguided practice for a large number of literary lovers to write poems directly without practicing brushwork. Poetry in the student era, like composition in the student era, has a stage of practicing calligraphy and is in a period of correcting mistakes. At most, it is published in some students' composition collections, so that people can see the writing mode. This is an improvement, and we must encourage it. However, we can't stay there. We have been stuck in this writing mode for decades, with no progress in our thinking and grammar. Our sense of language is still parrot-learned, and there has not been a flowing article for decades. As mentioned above, poetry is the essence of literary language. I dare to assert that it is in vain for a man with little reading to write 10 thousand poems. Poetry is different from other words, it is a combination of reality and dreams. Words like boiled water are not poems, nor are words like talking in a dream. Excessive obscurity will disrupt the logic of words. Excessive oral English will lose the artistic conception of poetry. What we can do is to make language "poetic", to combine matter with spirit, to combine reality with ideals, to float reality into dreams, to soften hardness and to turn slogans into words.
Poetry, the first heart, the same heart, poetic heart does not exist. Poetry, first of all, beautifies language to a height that people know and recognize. Some poets are philosophers, and their thoughts are very full, so their language is very powerful and above the artistic conception of poetry, which is the key to the success of western poetry. Some people say that Gu Cheng is the prince of poetry, because he integrated philosophy into poetry, the language was painstakingly worked out, and the sentence pattern was grammatical and logical. Like Xu Zhimo, he has a very solid literary foundation, and he doesn't play tricks, take things out of context, muddle along and confuse readers. His frankness contains philosophical thoughts, his obscurity likes reality, and he revisits his dreams. Beidao was a famous poet after the Cultural Revolution. Although he later rewrote his prose, if you go back and read his poems, you will find that his poems are not obscure, but can only be seen clearly in obscurity. There are many poets in modern times who write badly, but they still have to invent imaginary artistic conception and empty and mysterious words, which makes the whole world exhausted. They know the words, but they can't read and understand a sentence.
The following is a poem by North Island. Read carefully and study hard;
The sails of the strange beach 1 hang down. Mast, a tree in winter, brings unexpected spring. The ruins of winter cherish the lost light. You lean on the rest of the stairs and knock on the rusty railing. In the solemn noon, the shadow is choosing the place to stay. In every corner, salt particles condense the cold of the past and the flash of memories. The distance is white. How many sleeping nets are scattered on the floating deck of the horizontal line? Scarf, red bird, flying in the Sea of Japan. The reflection of the flame casts the shadow separated from you on the sky that doesn't belong to anyone. No storm is enough, but there is no fixed wind direction, perhaps in response to the call. Wings sound like bows. The ebb tide is layered, on the golden carpet, foaming at the mouth at night, loose cables and broken oars. The fishermen bent their bare backs and built temples that collapsed in the storm. The children are chasing a crescent moon. A seagull came at you, but it didn't land on your outstretched hand.
As a pioneer of contemporary poetry, Beidao never forgets the basic elements of poetry, such as symbol, sentence pattern, poetry and rhythm. I can't figure it out. You like writing poetry, but you can't tell the characters, sentence patterns, composition, layout, sound patterns and rhythm. I guess you haven't really thought about it.
There was once a "poetry critic" who wrote such a passage:
A poem has many interpretations of ambiguity.
In my opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
Authors have the freedom to write.
Readers have the freedom to deconstruct.
If his analysis is far away
Even misinterpreted the author's original intention.
This is something to be happy about.
Because, your work extends another meaning.
Maybe this passage is what he calls a poem. To this statement, I asked, "According to you, poetry has no theme and no essence?"
This is a thorny issue, and the "poetry critic" is very angry and says that I am a kicker. I can't get an answer from him, all I get is hatred.
Poetry, poetry and poetry have been songs since ancient times. With music, rhythm and rhyme, a poem can be sung. In contemporary times, popular lyrics are poems. Because of the existence of rhyme, people sing catchily, which shows that poetry cannot be separated from rhyme. When I was a child, I sang nursery rhymes and recited jingles because of the existence of rhyme. Later, poetry became a stage recitation program, and the host's lines rhymed. Poetry recitation should have a sense of cadence and rhyme. Without rhyme, it is not called poetry, because it lacks the most basic elements and functions of poetry.
If a poet is not recognized, you must first understand the concept of poetry, otherwise, you will only write personal spiritual garbage.
