Features: This book is a periodical study of modern Chinese poetry, primarily describing the developmental and transformative process of avant-garde poetry after the movement. It explores the continuity and variation among the various lyrical communities that emerged after the movement, as well as the distinct characteristics of each period, revealing the evolutionary patterns and historical significance of avant-garde poetry after the movement. The fundamental argument of this book: Avant-garde poetry after the movement possesses rebellious, experimental, and marginal artistic qualities. It once flourished and holds a broad future. The clamor of the "Third Generation" poetry's life form represents a revolution in the meaning of modern poetry, and the shift in situational structure brought about a change in the lyrical strategies of modern poetry. The death of Hai Zi is a metaphor for the fate of avant-garde poetry; he is both the terminator of the "Third Generation" poetry and the initiator of "personalized writing." Avant-garde poetry in the 1990s follows a trajectory of fragmentation, transformation, debate, and differentiation, advocating for "personalized writing." Both the forces of "personalized writing" and "folk stance writing" and "intellectual writing" are dedicated to the construction of "narrative poetics." The poetry of the '70s expands the question of "what to say," offering new possibilities through its "hormonal narration" and the creation of original, joyful texts. Feminist poetry in the 1980s deconstructs tradition through "corporeal poetics," finding "its own house," while in the 1990s, the choice of a new direction where passion meets technology presents both gains and losses.
