Features: This book extensively incorporates the research achievements on the poetry and the poetry movement over the past two decades, discarding historical biases. It provides a serious, objective, and necessary compilation of the poetry and the poetry movement that occurred from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. In the historical turning point after the Cultural Revolution, the poetry was an inspiring ideology at the time, a crucial part of the literary "liberation" trend, and also the starting point for the renewal of contemporary new poetry. The passion and expression it embodied opened up a productive creative space for later new poetry writers. Although various anthologies have been published so far, most of them appeared over a decade ago, and many important poets and poems have been omitted for various reasons. Moreover, due to the progress of academic research and the development of poetic thought over the past two decades, people have gained a deeper understanding of the poetry. Today, for the sake of poetry history research and to reaffirm the value that the poetry has not lost, this recompilation of the works aims to provide a better reading text for contemporary poetry researchers and enthusiasts.
