The Construction of Southern Poetics——Also on the"modernity"dimension and"urban spirit"writing in contemporary Chinese poetry
Southern Poetics,in essence,is a contemplation of the"modernity"dimension of contemporary Chinese poetry.This"mo-dernity"can be regarded as a writing of"urban spirit",which is to call forth the emergence of"modern people".This modernity and urban spirit,based on the existential presence of"modern people",has grown out of the interactions and dialogues with Western mod-ern states since modern times,starting from the southern region with Guangdong as its base.This spirit is also distinctly different from the spirit of traditional Chinese poetics.Traditional Chinese poetics is a lyrical and ambition-expressing poetics characterized by its a-ristocratic or elitist nature with gentry and scholar-officials as the writing subjects,while modern Chinese poetics is an urban poetics o-riginated in the South and gradually penetrated the entire modern literature of China with civilians or the general public as the writing subjects and recipients.We named it Southern poetics.This"south"is different from the traditional Jiangnan or geographical south,but a spiritual south,or a new south.Over the years,the personal construction of"Southern Poetics"includes redefining the concept of"South",combing the community of"Southern Poetry",observing the pedigree of"Southern Spirit",and then entering the theoretical construction of"Southern Poetics".The possibilities of such a poetic construction and the experiments of ideas and art will also provide more on-the-spot theoretical resources and research methods for the study of modern and contemporary literature in China.
