Chinanews.com, Beijing, January 1st (Reporter Ying Ni) On January 1st, 239 poets used a live broadcast relay to conduct a unique literary New Year's Eve event.

　　From 10 am on December 31, 2022 to 10 am on January 1, 2023, each of the 12 hosts invited a total of 239 poets into the live broadcast room to share within two hours.

With poetry as a companion, celebrate the new year online.

This is the second time that "Poetry 24 Hours" has been held.

　　In the "Poetry 24 Hours" event, poets read poems aloud in the live broadcast room, sharing their life experience, reading experience, and creative experience from all over the world in the year of 2022.

In the end, the number of online viewers of this poetry New Year's Eve event reached 20,000.

　　The curator Eucalyptus introduced that the theme of this event "Numbers and Words" is a cross-border creativity, which puts poetry into the "digital" background for interpretation.

"Digitalization" is above all a communication trend.

In the "digital" world, the mechanism of social communication and the psychology of online reading are changing.

In the context of "digital" communication, the subject matter of poetry creation has become wider, and the influence of poetry has become wider.

Even poetry itself will become a hot topic on the Internet.

"Digitalization" also includes new technology trends such as big data and AI.

　　Yu Yu thinks, "The Internet has memory. Art is being digitized, and poetry is also being digitized. Microsoft's 'Xiaobing' AI looks at pictures and writes poems, and big data becomes poetry codes. Data is captured and identified to the greatest extent. However, it Can you have insight and reflection like humans? Data seems to understand what humans are thinking better than humans, but all of these require people to give meaning.” Numbers and words are actually the fusion of humanities and technology.

　　The 12 hosts of "Poetry 24 Hours" also span various age groups from "post-60s" to "post-90s".

There are not only young poets who are active in poetry circles at home and abroad, but also journalists, poets and senior publishers in the media circle.

　　This year's "Poetry 24 Hours" event is hosted by the Beijing Poetry Festival.
