The Third Generation Poetry movement, as the most important written form of new poetry after the Misty poetry in the 1980's, provides the possibility of mass illustrations because of its own complexity. The Third Generation poets were just innocent on-lookers during the Cultural Revolution. when the Misty poets began to condemn the Cultural Revolution, they were adults on-lookers .From such points, this paper tries to organize the unique childhood experience to explain some fragments that come up in the Third Generation Poetry movement following the Misty poetry movement in the 1980's,and also, this paper rethinks about the Third Generation Poetry movement in terms of the poets' childhood experience and the unique atmosphere in the 1980's,and tries to remove the nonpoetrical factors out of it, according to embryology. With the representative events and poetry texts as the objects, the author tidies up the historical superficiality and puts forward his own questions from the synchronic point of view. In the prologue part, the author asks the following question: how are those on-lookers named? In the existing facts (mainly referring to the behavior that forms literary genre and the texts forming literary history), how many historical traces can be found? In what degree the childhood experience participates in figuring their speech acts and tones when they are present? And with the same or similar speech resources, how do they acquire their own uniqueness? In the first part of the paper, the author tells us that the name of on-lookers comes from the age difference with the Misty poets. The particular social atmosphere and deserted reading materials become the on-lookers' enlightening books. According to psychoanalyst Karen Horney, the perfection of life combines childhood experience with much growing experience together. The connecting point for childhood experience and the present context is the agreement between the carousal color of the revolution speeches and the on-lookers' carousal possibility when they are present. In the second part, the author samples the modern Chinese poetry exhibition in 1986, according to Bakhtin's theory of carousal poetry. In this part, the paper begins to study the behavior formed by the Third Generation poet. In the third part, the author analyses some texts of the third poetry movement and then illustrates how the poets describe the Cultural Revolution and how Cultural Revolution affects the poets' identities and situation. And the author further points out that in the poets' description of the Cultural Revolution, there is an implication of question, cynicism and reflection toward history, and even themselves. They apply the various speech acts arising from the different stands that have long been in existence in literature: responsive﹑opposite﹑mad-use and mimic. At the same time, they break up and then blend then together to make a rich voice that can't be replaced. What's more, they connect the now developing sexy speeches with political decoding and rhetoric. While in the depiction of the Third Generation poets, the author explains other representative texts in which the on-lookers don't directly speak out their ideas about the Cultural Revolution but are influenced by the Cultural Revolution. such terms are the on-lookers' unconscious exposure of the influence from the Cultural Revolution, as "the Lyricists Presence and Absence","Another Kind of Utopian"and "the Conscious Reflection on His Comic." In the last part of the paper, the author points out that there are some declaration of genre near the craziness and vulgarity. Their essential function is to be the mask of carousal festival. The author also points out that the illustration of the speech practice by the Third Generation poets is not an accusation against the complex relationship between the speech and the Cultural Revolution. The purpose of knowledge archaeology is to go deeper into the historical contexts and texts of the events in order to have a better understanding of the tactical choice of...
