A Frontier Fortress Poet Who Admires The West

Being a poet in the west of China, Lin Ran has his own personality. He is a poet with human feelings that can't be swept by the wind of desert. As a representative of the new frontier fortress poets and main theorist, his poetic theory has been a system. But first of all, he is a poet. This text will expound his poetry from three parts according to his course of creation.First, understanding the western connotations of the new frontier fortress poems from his early poetry. During the course of being new frontier poems, Lin Ran made great contribution and advanced a theory of "western atmosphere" accepted by most of western China's poets. This part makes a discussion on "western atmosphere" in detail from "projection of landscape", "historical statements", "revelation of religious sentiment" and "embodiment of the development spirit".Second, on the aesthetic value of his love poems. Love brings hope and new life to him. His lyric style changes because of the changes in the living environment. His love poems pursue a plain style. He links love with the ordinary laborers and displays a sincere, simple, clean love flavor. The words in Lin Ran's love poetry are distinctive. They are accurate, concise and creative. He also pays attention to the usage of images that are dispersive and contrastive, and shows his super ability of controlling these images.Third, thinking of the crises of survival and probing the life philosophy. After the 1990s, his creations' spirit direction changes to observe the lost ideal and self-life and to think the natural philosophy and life philosophy. He tries to find a place as habitat for heart and soul by comparing "central plains in the childhood" with "survival predicament in the west" and pursuing the rooted homes. So it reflects his thought of the dilemma of human existence. Lin Ran's creations start to shift from the perspective of the literature emotion to intellectualism, which greatly enhances the inherent philosophy of the poetry and embodies the individual reflections to universe and life.
