| China's city has developed into a new phase ever since 1990's. Contemporary civilization of industry and commerce has developed fast. Manufacture of big machinery and contemporary commerce have become life lines of city economy and life, invaded the way of existence and life habits, and changed social structure and culture code.During the course of the development of contemporary Chinese industry and commerce, classic taste of poetry has changed greatly. Contemporary fresh poetry has overthrown traditional taste of poetry. Accordingly, people's psychology has transformed tremendously, and value of taste turned. Especially, the third era poetry has emerged, and post- obscurity poetry has occupied a vital position. The banner of post- obscurity poetry is a rebellion against obscurity poetry. However, the approach is to adopt a trend of value of anti-culture, anti-tradition and anti-nobleness, and a way of writing of anti-feeling, anti-technique and anti-image. The rebellion against traditional culture has resulted in severe culture effects. Just because this is an active culture rebellion, it has brought about the emptiness and puzzle of people's spirit. It is different from the puzzle in the 10 years' tempest. It is a puzzle among choices. Because of wide choices, it seems that nothing is important, and that there isn't a dividing line between nobleness and beggary, or between culture and non-culture. When the contradiction disappears, the side that is oppressed becomes important, and even on purpose depreciates the other side, which divides cultural tradition deliberately. As a result, city poetry goes into the condition of post- obscurity.In recent years, theory analysises of contemporary city poetry have become popular. But they are superficial in quantity and quality. City poetry has become complicated with the expansion and deepening of urbanization since late 1980's. I emphasize on systematic theory analysis and reasoning of city poetry of since late 1980's. I hope to have a exact definition of new character and the whole trend of city poetry since late 1980's, and to reveal the system that citizens adjust psychology and deterioration of life trouble with the deepening of urbanization, in order to conclude the transition of taste of poetry creation in the new period. |
