On Change Of Women Poetry At The New

With focuse on the links between diachronic and parachonic aspects as well as historical description and cultural and aesthetic critic, this desertation tries to probe the main and minor streams about women's poetry at the new stage, paying appropriate attention to the social transformation and text analysis on specific poets and poems. The idea-liberating movement beginning with the negation of the "Cultural Revolution" arouses the pursuit for and counter-thinking of such concepts as truth, ideal and life value, while humanity, pursuit for humanitarism, "scar literature" on the literary circles and obscure poems push forward this social reform. This is generally thought as the beginning of literature of the new stage. Reviewing the women's poem writing of this over 30 years, women's poem writing experiences three stages: enlightening, exposition of female consciousness and multi-extremal tendency. The first stage is represented by such poets as Shu Ting, Fu Tianlin, Wang Erbei, Zhang Ye, Ma Lihua, Lin Ze and Li Xiaoyu, etc., whose poem-writing is accompanied the historical progress of returning from the stray to the correct track, and they show, with the form of poem, resistance against "Cultural Revolution" and the leftist ideas before "Cultural Revolution" and the inequality between man and woman lasting thousands of years, and critics against the traditional disciplines of women, showing an enlightenment, humanitarism, idealism, manifestation and appeal for women's self-consciousness and spirit-body-unified love. In them, the blending of "me-kind" and "me-individual" experience, the power of beauty, gentility and restrained grace peeled from male society, the exposition of aesthetic, artistic and elegance and the cherish for the appropriate position between non-ego and egoism, all conform to the affectionate thinking and artistic tendency of women's poetry, thus gaining mental foundation for readers' resonnance. The second stage is at the post mid-80's of last centuray with a group of women poets having great achievement rising in the poetry circles, and these are pure female poems ever seen in Chinese history. They sing high of female sense, stress life experience of females, and from there open a corner of sky from the perspective and perception of women, the classical ones of which are Zhai Yongming's 20-poem collection WOMEN and his Dark Room, Yi Lei's 14-poem collection THE BEDROOM OF UNMARRIED WOMEN, Tang Yaping's 11-poem collection BLACK DESERT and DEATH SHOW. The uprising of women poetry shows the wakening of self-consciousness in this social group and the general advancement of history, their poetic writing has made great contribution to the new poetry of modern age. In brief, the most emminent character of women poetry of this stage is proeminence of female sense. The third stage are represented by the well known poets such as Zhao Lihua, Zhou Zan, Hong Ying, Hu Jun, Jia Wei, Yin Lichuan and Lu Ye, etc, all of whom appeared in recent years. They are intellectuals graduated from institutions of higher education and grew up in 1990s, during which period China experienced important years charactered by Deng Xiaoping's (China's general designist of reform and opening policy) speech on his Southern China Tour, exerting great impact on Chinese speech field which then converts from bi-extreme pattern to multi-extreme search. This multi-extreme style emphasizes human existence and cares fore the all-around value of a person, and has less criticizing feature. All of them share a common characteristic, that is, de-emphasis of sex consciousness and cherishing no more the contradiction between man and woman, which is actually return and rectification of the excess reaction to women movement before, and which is no long deep or loftiness at the influence of post-modernism. They are in fact cherishing an everyday, patch-making and routinizing of aesthetics under the influence of temporary visual arts, consumptionism and picture-reading time. With many voices and with the help of internet media, some of them become popular poet on the net, thus this trend goes multi-extremes.
