China News Service, Beijing, April 7th (Reporter Ying Ni) How to face the mass fast food consumption carnival that erases the boundaries of poetry and art and lowers the threshold of art?
How to deal with the relationship between poetry's private space and public space?
How to evaluate the phenomenon that more and more grassroots poets are emerging?
The answer may be obtained from the "Decade of Poetry in the New Age: Progress and Space" symposium.
Poet Ye Yanbin believes that in the new era, Chinese poets face a new world, a new reality and a new life.
The "new" of the "new era" is reflected in the fact that the modernity of this era is more reflected in real life, and the modernity of real life gives the poet more creative space and inspiration.
Poets who truly love poetry and adhere to the spirit of poetry passed down from generation to generation need to work harder today to respond to the expectations of the new era and write poems worthy of the times.
In poetry creation, we must pursue the height of the poetic spirit of the times, the social depth of the poetic subject matter, and the artistic precision of the poetic language.
In the face of the popular fast food consumption carnival that erases the boundaries of poetry and art and lowers the threshold of art, poets should stick to the spirit of poetry and grasp the artistic bottom line of poetic affection, poetry expressing aspirations, and poetry innocence.

In the past ten years, poets have become more submerged and determined in their writing.
Zhang Qinghua, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that in the past decade, the relationship between poetry and the lower-level society has become closer.
This is not only manifested in the fact that many writers will pay attention to the survival of ordinary people, but also produce many poets directly from the grassroots.
"Poem writing" has gradually become popular in recent years.
Now is a big change unseen in a century, and the world situation is changing rapidly, all of which have given birth to the poet's thinking.
Another feature of New Age poetry is the prominence of its "cultural geography".
Poet communities of different regions and cultural backgrounds have gradually formed, and together they form a complex ecological structure.
Wu Sijing, a professor at Capital Normal University, said that in the new era, poets should have a more precise positioning of their own roles.
Some poets put too much emphasis on "private space" and turn poetry writing into babble in the "ivory tower"; some poets use "public space" to completely cover up "private space", so that people can't see the image of the poet and hear the poet heart sound.
Under such circumstances, how to handle the relationship between "private space" and "public space" is not only a technical problem and a method problem, but also involves the deep problem of how the poet should grasp the world and the self.
Therefore, poets should not only do "work in poetry", keep exploring art in poetry creation, but also put in "work outside poetry" to open their hearts to the world, absorb its vastness and vitality, and become a worthy person A true poet of the new age.
Jidi Majia, director of the Poetry Committee of the Chinese Writers Association, pointed out that a large number of excellent works have emerged in the interaction with the times and society, and in the fusion of various resources at home and abroad, in the creation of new poetry that has gone through more than a hundred years.
In the new era, poets need to inherit the fine tradition of poetry, make new creations based on the real context, and better handle the dialectical relationship between poetry and reality, individual experience and the experience of the times, new experience and new language, and more Excellent masterpieces shape the aesthetics of poetry in the new era.
Deng Kai, secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Writers Association, concluded that in the past ten years, the poetry of the new era has continued the ancient Chinese poetry tradition, and has presented a new century-old Chinese poetry with rapid growth and the flourishing of mixed peanut trees.
Although there are such and other problems in new poetry, we need to maintain a high degree of vigilance and overcome our own limitations.
At the same time, the new era, new journey, and new historical orientation have opened up new discourse space for poets and critics. We also need to update the visual system, perception system, and evaluation system of poetry, so as to align personal poetic interests, life pursuits, and artistic life with The future of the country, the destiny of the nation, and the aspirations of the people are closely combined, and efforts are made to make the poems written have more profound power and more meaningful charm.
It is reported that the symposium was sponsored by the China Poetry Society and co-organized by Phoenix Satellite TV Linker Culture.
Nearly 20 poets, writers and critics participated in the seminar in a combination of online and offline methods.
