My life likes to think hard to find a good poem, the language of the poem is not surprising, I will not stop.
In the eyes of the ancients, whether writing poems or essays is a very serious and elegant thing. The ancients wrote poems and essays as elaborately as jade, attached great importance to the use of words and sentences, and could not tolerate any carelessness, nor could they profane the elegance and beauty of poems and essays with frivolous gestures, vulgar language and lame rhythm.
Although modern poetry emphasizes the freedom of format, frankness of statement, liveliness of language and novelty of thought, it is not unconventional or deviant, and it has its own creative requirements and aesthetic standards.
Modern poetry has a set of strict requirements for the tempering of language, the creation of artistic conception, the control of rhythm and the use of rhetoric. It is not just a few words that can be broken casually and a few lines can be made into a poem.
If you think so, then everyone in the world is a great poet, and all the conversations in daily life are classic poems.
In recent years, the modern poetry world is very lively, and the genres of "saliva poems" named after various poets emerge one after another, such as "pear style", "lamb style" and "lower body poems" before, and "nonsense poems" which are still very popular until now, which have brought countless shocks to poetry lovers.
The inventor of "Nonsense Poetry" is Zheng Gongyu, who was born in Yuhuan City, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province in 1978 10. He is an unknown video producer. After work, he published a large number of new poems and novels on the Internet under the pseudonym of "Qing Wu". As his published works were ridiculed, accused, criticized and imitated by netizens, people paid more and more attention to him. In the end, he became a representative figure in contemporary poetry circles because of his "nonsense poems".
People ridicule, criticize and criticize his poems because his poems don't follow the routine, write whatever they see, ignore any rules and skills in writing, and the language is as long as plain boiled water.
It can be said that Qing Wu's poetry is a subversion and stripping of the tradition of poetry, and it is this attitude that finally made him angry.
People imitate him because according to his writing style, poetry is too easy to write. As long as a normal person can speak, even if he can't read, he can write "nonsense poetry".
Let's take a look at Qing Wu's two poems first.
Praise for white clouds
The white clouds in the sky are really white
Really, it's very white.
Very white
Very, very white
Extremely white
Thief white
It's dead for nothing
Ah-
I'm on fire
I'll call my mother and tell her
Recently, I became popular on the Internet.
Is it? My mother can't surf the Internet, really?
Really, my dear mother.
I never lied to you this time.
My mother was very happy to hear that, and then what?
Then I stopped being angry. I said.
Are the above two poems or not? Normal people who have a little common sense about modern poetry will hold a negative attitude.
100 years ago, when new poetry was just developed in China, people had no experience in how to write new poetry. Therefore, after years of exploration, Mr. Wen Yiduo put forward the artistic proposition and creative requirements of "three beauties" for new poetry.
The "three beauties" of poetry are the beauty of music, painting and architecture. The beauty of music means that poetry should have beautiful rhythm like music, and the sense of rhythm should be reflected in the poem, and the rhyme feet should rhyme. The beauty of painting means that poets should be good at refining poetic images and highlighting the picture sense of poems. Architectural beauty mainly means that the poems should be patchy and the internal rhythm should be unified and harmonious.
Wen Yiduo's view has been highly praised by most poets of all ages since it was put forward, and it is still the main basis for evaluating whether a poem is superior or not until today.
That's great. You can sing all kinds of genres in contemporary poetry, and I will come on stage. One by one, the poets will show their magical powers, and there is a kind of posture that they will never give up until they make the contemporary poetry a mess.
According to the conventional experience, Qing Wu's poetic language is mainly spoken English, and the way of presentation is verbose, and he doesn't care about the rhythm, rhyme, rhetoric and tension of poetry. The whole poem looks like nonsense, as tasteless as boiled water, with no artistic beauty at all, and he can't bear to look straight.
How much courage does it take to write a poem like this and publish it?
It can only be said that Qing Wu's understanding of new poetry has entered the "magic road". In his eyes, the aesthetics of poetry is to judge ugliness, vulgarity and strangeness. The more ugly, vulgar and grotesque poetry is, the more excited he is. The more his poems are ridiculed by the public, the more satisfied and fulfilled he is.
However, in the face of Qing Wu's "nonsense poems", some famous people inside and outside the circle have given favorable comments, which is really hard to understand.
Yu Zhou, a poet, said: Qing Wu's poems are neither "academic school" nor "radical school", but belong to "entertainment school". His poems are neither neat nor high in mood, but they are all about the little things in life, and they are written easily. Although everyone says that he talks nonsense, but he can write nonsense into feelings, and the poet himself thinks that he is writing poetry, then this is poetry.
Writer Jiang Fangzhou bluntly said: I like Qing Wu's poems very much. He has other ambitions. He wants to transcend language. If you don't understand it, you can't understand it, because it is written, and it is not for being understood.
Yaping Zhou, a musician and poet, said: I think it's quite good. Wu students insist on changing people's definition of established poetry. For a long time, poetry has been mixed with literature, and it's all silly. Qing Wu let poetry return to smallness and let ourselves return to smallness. There's nothing wrong with it.
With the support of celebrities inside and outside the circle, Qing Wu's confidence in writing "nonsense poems" is growing, and his courage is growing. He almost started the beam of "nonsense poems" by himself, enjoying himself with people who like his poems, and brought a lot of talk to the silent poetry circle.
From the point of view of "a hundred schools of thought contend", Qing Wu's "nonsense poetry" has certain positive significance, at least it has brought some vitality to the contemporary poetry circle, so that poetry has at least not been forgotten by the public.
In my opinion, poetry has its own independent language value and spiritual value. Poetry is always creating language, seeking to enter the interior of things with unique language, having a dialogue and communication with the core of things, and then restoring it to reveal the truth of existence.
Poetry is also an art, which has its own social responsibility. A poet who escapes from reality and revels in his own self-entertainment is definitely not a good poet.
Although poetry has strong subjectivity and individuality, it is closely related to real life. The "I" in poetry always needs to have a dialogue with the poet's era, and strive to include the aesthetic taste, humanistic concept, value concept, cultural landscape, and even the living state and mental state of individual life. Only in this way can poetry withstand the big waves.
