Features: The young phoenix is purer than the old phoenix. Poetry is the business of the young. Over sixty young poets, with fresh and vigorous steps, brimming with vitality, have walked through the stale air of the poetic world and come to us, to the times! New writing trends, new vibrant experiences, constitute the new beauty, new magic, and richness of poetry! "The young phoenix is purer than the old phoenix"—this is also a testament to the youthful passion of a journal. As a literary magazine that shares the same age as New China, People's Literature has always remained young, standing at the forefront of Chinese literature, always ready to soar into the future. Thus, the melody of The Lovers' Flowers continues!—People's Literature Editorial Department
When people refer to literary theory as "poetics," it means that poetry is the essence and soul of literature. Perhaps based on this, as a pure literary journal, People's Literature has always attached great importance to publishing outstanding contemporary poems from its inception, without hesitation in dedicating space to them. It has successively published numerous long poems such as Gada Meilin and Ashi Ma, as well as many poets and exquisite chapters, consistently maintaining a high level and purity of literature. It can be said that paying attention to literature within literature is a tradition of this journal. Although poetry accounts for a relatively small portion, its weight and influence have been regarded as comparable to that of the journal's fiction. The works of over sixty young poets included in this collection are the outstanding pieces from recent issues, previously published in columns named "Youthful Poetic Journey" and "New Poets." Their works, each with distinct poetic qualities, have been favored and praised by readers. We believe that these poems represent the diverse explorations of contemporary new poetry, reflecting the intrinsic relationship between humanity and the world, as well as between humanity and art. They embody the creativity of fresh, revitalizing eyes that refresh the old and the stale.
