Features: I mean, spring is a power plant / All the colors are arrogant / The energy released: the energy of grass breaking through the soil / The energy of trees budding / And I’d rather be a burrowing beast / Running across the flowering hillsides during the day (Youkeli, Spring is a Power Plant). This little elephant is so light, so heartwarming / When did you start gently holding my waist / Like embracing a bundle of freshly cut grass / Oh, I am a bundle of green grass in your arms (Lu Ye, Evening). Porcelain / Too easily broken, too easily / Hurt /? No matter how much I hate plastic and stainless steel / Only they can give me / Safety. Blue and white is so beautiful / It is destined to be my tragedy (Lao, Blue and White).

It aims to review the achievements of the year’s poetry creation, objectively and fairly selecting works that are both ideologically and artistically outstanding, representative, and influential.
