Modern poetry's inventiveness and nationalization: a meditation

Chinese poetry must be China - featured and should have a reasonable and organic absorption. China - featured national poetry should be created, not completely Westernized or low parodies of Western modern poetry. Poetry must be popular. We do not oppose the individuality a poet should have. The poetic appeal can only find expression in individual ego. Simultaneously it is held that poets' individuality should be rooted in the popularity and become the reflection of various likings and demands of the people, which is the nature of the poetry. Poetry must meet the de-mands of the time. Westernization has no set - footing foundation and the revival of the ancient has no concern of the present. Poetry should set foot on the great practice of the modem national rejuvenation of the Chinese people, inherit and develop the excellent national cultural tradition, study and borrow all the excellent cultural achievements of the world, try to create and develop our nation's excellent modern poetry with the spirit of facing the modernization, the world and the future of Modern China. At the same time, Chinese poetry should be authentic poetry, which has music aestheticism in hearing, and beautiful images in sight, and emotional enlightenment in psychic sensibility. All these integrated aesthetic elements should reach the maximum capacity in the most succinct form. It advocates leniency, multiplicity and all - inclusiveness, excluding non- poetic fakes.
