Features: This book primarily records the historical events related to New Poetry creation, criticism, publication, and activities that took place in Mainland China from January 1966 to December 1976. The book is organized chronologically based on the occurrence of historical events. Entries with unspecified dates are categorized under the corresponding month or year. Some entries marked with seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) are listed under March, June, September, and December, respectively. The book strives to use primary source materials to ensure the reliability of its records. The majority of the data was obtained by the author's review of original newspapers and books, though a small portion of primary materials could not be accessed at the time, and some published research was referenced and utilized. The book focuses on the publication and release of works, with the selection of materials guided by the principle of both adhering to historical facts and making new discoveries, aiming to present the historical context as accurately as possible, restoring its original richness and complexity. The book endeavors to provide an objective account without subjective evaluations. The records strictly follow the original wording and author of the time, with modifications made only for authors who used different names (common names are noted in parentheses), or for obvious errors or omissions (corrected in square brackets). The dates of publication and release are based on the publication dates indicated in the periodicals and the copyright page records of the books. All quoted passages are annotated with their sources at the end of the text.
