Life Meaning As The Universe, The Realm Of The Poetic Ideal,

Lo Fu is a famous Taiwan poet. His poems cause the enormous echo not only in Taiwan but also in the mainland as well as the overseas. Almost each anthology he published represents a new creation style and brings a new kind of esthetic experience. Moreover, it represents a new kind of altitude in the poetry creation. In order to pursue the innovation, he seizes unceasingly and gives up unceasingly. But he persists to pursue "the horizon esthetics" in all his life."Horizon esthetics" mainly contains two aspects in the spiritual stratification. One is tragedy consciousness, which is often the union of individual tragedy experience and the national tragedy spirit. The other is the universe mood. With the aid of the drifting mood, people can not only get rid of the pressure of the nationalism, but catch the permanency surmounting space and time easily. A person can feel the harmonious relations of human and the natural only in the greatly lonely and losing mood. Human's body is outside the horizon, but the heart is in the moral world. In art stratification, "horizon esthetics" manifests the course of exploring unceasingly.Lo Fu devotes himself to making "the excavation life, the performance life and annotation life". He carries on regarding the life deeply and carefully in lonely mood. Having discovered the tragedy existence in life, he fills the tragedy consciousness in his poems. The separation of national territory is not only individual tragedy but also national tragedy, which has accomplished the massive appearance of nostalgia poems in art. Lo Fu's nostalgia poems can be divided into "the small nostalgia" and "the big nostalgia". The former expresses individual feeling and the later the sentiment about the history and culture. He not only excavates modern tragedy, but also pay attention to in the classical theme the tragedy using the modern consciousness. Thereupon the writer spell of good or bad fortune, the ancient literary reference and the classical love are all hoodwinked on a tragedy color.The universe mood refer to pursue the permanency of space and time as well as the identical of nature and human. The time corrodes the living life invisibly and silently.
