| Zhang Deyi is an important poet in contemporary Chinese poetry,and one of the representative poets of the New Frontier Poetry School.Since he became active in the literary world in the 1980 s,Zhang Deyi has been writing western poetry,and he has produced a large number of excellent western poems over his forty-year career.Due to the influence of the context of the times,changes in poetic concepts and the growth of individual experience,Zhang Deyi’s western poetry has always been in a dynamic state of change,taking different forms at different times and with a certain degree of variability,highlighting the poet’s incessant search for art and his endless creativity.The western poetry of Zhang Deyi in the 1980 s was influenced by multiple factors such as the times and genres,and mainly presented in the form of realistic writing of the New Frontier poetry,specifically in the form of copying the typical natural imagery of the west and shaping the lyrical heroes of the pioneers,with a clear and easy-to-understand language style and an exciting and grand poetic tone.With the scattering of the New Frontier poetry,Zhang Deyi’s poetic creation entered a transition stage after the 1990 s,moving from the concern for nature to the writing of experience,and the regional characteristics of poetry were relatively weakened.At the same time,during this period,Zhang Deyi was nourished by Western modern poetics,and his writing style showed a tendency of surrealism compared with that of the 1980 s,mostly using surreal dreams in his poems or playing with his wild imagination,and also pursuing strange expressions in language.The poet’s surreal poetry of this period is of great significance in breaking through the bottleneck of the late creation of the New Frontier poetry,enriching the writing of western poetry,and promoting the Localization of surrealism.After 2010,Zhang Deyi entered the late stage of his creation,and after years of precipitation,his feelings for the West have already become a deep complex.On the other hand,they express their philosophical thoughts on the nature of western nature,the relationship between human beings and the west,and the fate of human beings on the way back.Regardless of the period of western poetry creation,what is consistent is that Zhang Deyi always stays in the west and in the heart of poetry art.Overall,Zhang Deyi’s western poetry is of certain significance in enriching the development of western poetry,correcting the current fickle atmosphere of the poetry world,and restoring the aesthetic nature of poetry art. |
