Features: This book continues the legacy of our publishing house's New Poems of the Misty School, reviewing the Third Generation Poetry Movement that emerged after the "Misty Poetry Wave" in the 20th century but before the "90s Poetry." The concept of the "Third Generation Poetry" is specific in its direction and connotation, and its unprecedented rebelliousness has led to a lack of sufficient understanding of its relationship with tradition. In reality, its name represents a self-positioning within the history of Chinese New Poetry, and its poetics and artistic exploration have completed the journey of "Human-Hero-Individual" in 20th-century Chinese literature. In terms of aesthetic style, its calm objectivity, holistic presentation, and emphasis on linguistic sensibility have also provided a new artistic quality to the history of Chinese New Poetry. This book reviews the Third Generation Poetry Movement that emerged after the "Misty Poetry Wave" in the 20th century but before the "90s Poetry." In its use of the "Third Generation Poetry" concept, the book adopts an understanding of "the overall youth avant-garde poetry after the Misty Poetry," similar to the concept of "the New Generation." Therefore, the selected poets and poems are also considered within this framework.
