World Poetry Day, "Sohu culture" leading poetry revival

"Sohu Culture" "Phoenix reading" Together with the "Tomorrow" "Poetry Monthly", jointly organized 2015 China's Localism Poetry Group exhibition.

April 2014, "Tomorrow" Poetry, "Poetry Monthly" published at the same time, launched the "Chinese Localism Poetry Group exhibition issue." Another group exhibition, jointly launched by the two publications, goes back to the "modernist poetry Show", held in 1986 by the poetry newspaper and the Shenzhen Youth Daily. The exhibition became the "third generation Poets" of the collective appearance of the way, the impact is extremely far-reaching. It can be said that part of the "third generation Poets" after the poet Group, has produced a name anxiety: useful "New Generation" "Fourth generation" "Middle generation" and other generations of naming, but also useful "forums" "whenever" "generation" ... And so on, basically according to the poet's year of birth to collectively named. In the poetic commentary, "This unified ten-year generational naming has been implicitly negative and strongly challenged by another reality: for the Chinese-and of course Chinese poets-1976:1970 has more of a dividing line." Since then, why not after 76, but whenever? What's more, the whenever poets refer to the time of birth, not the time of writing, that is to say, although they have some similar memories of the times, memory is not writing. It is too logical to plan with the approach of birth time, or to integrate their writing commonalities. In essence, the naming of whenever poets is too thin to simplify, it contains too few poetic elements. "Therefore, for these names, because of the lack of poetic elements of support, even in the poetry within the lack of persuasion, it is difficult to generate consensus, is also considered to show a certain age of poetry works of expedient naming." "Tomorrow", "Poetry Monthly" jointly launched the "Localism Poetry Group Exhibition" Issue, in the poetry of the interior produced a huge response. Some excellent poets all over the country have expressed the hope that the "Localism Poetry Festival" movement will be sustained, hoping to join the Localism poetry movement. Also caused by the mainstream network reading platform "Sohu Culture", "Phoenix reading" concern, decided to work together "Tomorrow" "Poetry Monthly", opened a column to launch "China Localism Poetry Group exhibition", so that "localism poetry movement" embark on a new journey.


"China Regionalism Poetry exhibition", including the "third generation of poets" after a number of important representative poets, such as Anhui Tongcheng Chen Xianfa and Maanshan Yang, Wuhan Zhihao, Small, Kunming Pingyang, Leeson, Beijing Shen, 臧棣, Henan Zhoukou Guo, the Li Shaojun of Haikou, the Panvi of Hangzhou, Harbin Sancher , Urumqi, Shen Wei, Jiangsu's Hu-String, Jinan, Chengdu, the Dumb Stone, the Messiah, Changsha Road Cloud ... Plus the "Localism" poetry movement initiator Tanksiu himself. Most of them are "the third generation Poets" after the renowned poet, can be said to be early born poet leader. The backbone of these Chinese poetry creation is also the first knot in the same banner "localism". The 19 poets who participated in the exhibition have great differences in poetics, but in the eyes of the Tanksiu of localism, they are in different languages, caring for the culture of the land and land under their feet. Tanksiu that "change" has become the only and common trait of the outside world, the Localism poet establishes the precise coordinate system in the writing, he is like a die-hard stone, is immersed in the concrete space-time coordinate, only is moved by the thing in the surroundings, but ignores to the distant tidal current change. This coordinates, so that he has to open up a variety of subjective experience and the relationship between the objective world of the ability of the two vessels, helping him to experience the Synchronic event brings a profound harmonious power, and can feel the connection between the inner world and the outside world's activities, between the intangible and the physical, the spiritual and the material world. Let him maintain a certain distance from this era of information explosion, to ease down and to sew the shattered world with inner grandeur. This coordinate indicates the first dimension of the local poetics: starting from "here". The poet has no special weapon to fight against this time the excitement of high-speed rail and the media brought about by the space-time division, or can only learn from the tortoise, carrying his own shell, downward and inward, at their feet of the land slowly crawling, watching and accompanied by the insect ants at the foot. One of the important connotations of locality is the conversion of the writing perspective: From the point of view of his form to the inward type of my vision. Like the tortoise, the honest from "here" embarks, is in "here" establishes the space-time coordinate system of the writing, arrives at some kind of "the Earth Person oneness" realm. Tanksiu's "Unity of the Earth and Man" is an effort to reconstruct the grammatical relationship between the poet and the land in the local theoretical discourse: "The Poet" (subject) + "Land" (object) into "land" (subject) + "Poet" (object). The Localism poet can only start from "here", even if the limited imagination starts from "here". Tanksiu the Qinghai poet Yao as the representative poet of "The oneness of the People" and the forerunner of "localism". Now, these later, scattered around the country of localism poets ' writing, to the local culture in a disadvantaged position, before being forcibly destroyed by cultural colonialism, has a certain mission meaning to extend the life of local culture. They insisted on starting from "here", insistingThe local return of poetic language is the emphasis on "my dialect", and some prevalent diseases in contemporary Chinese poetry writing, which is a good prescription for the treatment of rich herbal incense.


as the initiator of the "localism" movement, TANKSIU in its programmatic article, the rise of the Localism group: In a quiet revolution, in contrast to the "Today's Poets" and "The Third generation Poets" in the form of a collective uprising, later "localism" poets appeared in a quiet way. Their performance, as they write, shows a calm, rational, open, and vivid character of mature Chinese poetry. They quietly scattered all over the country, not in tandem with each other to a vigorous appearance ceremony, but from the heart, guarding the land and the heart of loneliness, through the writing itself to complete a poem from within the Revolution, a quiet revolution. But it can be said to be a collective revolution. Localism poetry is the poetry of the dive and the poet of the thoughtful person. Resist the blunt modernist label, but also resist the sensationalism of the post-modern label. Poets tread on "Here" all the way, not lost in the universal wilderness. Between Poets and poets, a solitary and unique existence forms an echo of the jungle, in which the birds are singing and the million-ou qi. A local poet is destined to be "lonely". "Loneliness" Here is not a psychological concept, but a field concept. The existence of poetic field is premised on the poet's "loneliness". After finding such "loneliness", the poets must establish a new relationship between the jungle. This new relationship is characterized by a special synchronic characteristic of poetic writing. The special relation between poet and poet is a special physiognomy of this synchronic relationship. Eliot believes that the poet's meaning can only be evaluated in a relationship, but there is no clear "competitive rewriting" relationship, although vaguely touched: there is a conceptual order between historical works. This order is complete and temporarily balanced. The creation of any new artwork will break this balance. When the poetic works participate in the competitive rewriting relationship, they rewrite the historical space-time relationship with several "here" as the kernel. Many of the local poetic works filled with "My dialect" are the nodes of the whole poetic circle, which are connected with each other, which constitute the life system of the poetry of blood. Without the support of many "lonely" localism poets, the building of contemporary poetry is not the backbone of this edifice, it will hardly be called a mansion, but a pile of reinforced concrete ruins. It is the "lonely" localism of the poets, in the turn of the century quietly, and revolutionary collective rise, only to form a contemporary Chinese poetry is a spectacular jungle scene.


Although the profound changes within the contemporary Chinese poetry, a proud "local knowledge" of contemporary Chinese poetry is forming. The voice from the social and human Realms argues that this society has not observed such profound changes and continues to be full of prejudices or prejudices about poetry. The "Localism Poetry" movement has not only been a matter within the poetic circle. The concept of "localism poetry" is also a revelation to the new changes of "local knowledge" in other areas of China. In addition to the publication of traditional poetry, the new journey of the Localism Group exhibition in the mainstream online reading platform "Sohu culture" "Phoenix reading" To set up a column, will also adapt to the mobile Internet era poetry reading characteristics, "the first scene of Chinese poetry," "Tomorrow's poetry Scene" micro-trust real-time interaction, and through the "Sohu culture" Phoenix reading "" Tomorrow poetry Scene, "such as micro-trust public platform release. Sohu vice President, editor-in-chief, the poet Mr. Zhaohua, insight into the poetry of everything, but also keenly aware of the revival of contemporary poetry, decided to start to the fate of the Chinese people's soul to do some realistic poetry development.
