They have achievedgreat accomplishments in their respective field of poetic in twenty years, but due tovarious reasons, they got inadequate attention from poetry and criticism and so doesthe number of research. The author digs to recover them to their overall style and givethem corresponding historical evaluation.Chapter five would like to research on this school of poets by using a particular sociology perspective of “small group” and try to break into dimensions of the poetsstudy, saying tentatively establish some kind of interdisciplinary research beyond theframework of the self-contained poetry research. And finally intergraded the “smallgroup sociological theory” to study on an external focus from three aspects:complicated human relationships behind the “middle generation “, new exchangesways in the blog era and the “middle generation “critics influence,do further externalfocus study on this group of the occurrence, development and prosperity in theprocess of poetry history.It can be said that,the “middle generation” as a whole, holding up to a toughattitude, has already made tremendous contribution to the intergeneration transfer ofpioneer poetry. It’s my belief that by virtue of the achievements and pioneering spiritas always, these poets will obtain the acknowledgement and their works willeventually become a significant part of the literature history.
