Poetry is not meant to be read , so what is poetry for?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-27

Recently, 7 "famous poets" have taught you to write modern poetry, which has become a topic of concern in the poetry world. These seven "famous poets" are Ouyang Jianghe, Zhang Zhihao, Zhang Taozhou, Huang Fan, Xidu, Chen Xianfa and Yu Jian. Of course, these "famous poets" give lectures, and they have to pay a little hard money. According to reports, the pure version only costs 299 yuan, the training camp only costs 569 yuan, and the maximum discount is 130 yuan.

To be honest, we can hear 7 "famous poets" tell us how to write modern poetry at once, and this price is really kind. Think about it, how difficult is it for you to listen to the speeches of these "famous poets"? What's more, listen to them talk about how to write modern poetry? Now, how good is it to write modern poetry? As long as there is a way, you can write it however you want, and it is a piece of cake to publish and win awards.

Moreover, writing modern poetry is not as laborious as writing prose**, you can write how you want, and you can write whatever you want. As for whether others can read and understand, and whether they understand what you write, what does it matter? Modern poetry is not meant to be read at all, and even the more others don't understand it, the better your poems are.

Mind you, that's not what I said. Who said that? There are really many "famous poets" who have said this. For example, Ouyang Jianghe's "Theory of Bird Language" says that modern poetry is like bird language, and there is no need to read it. For example, Peng Min, deputy director of the editorial department of Poetry Magazine, said that modern poetry does not take the "general public" into account, and modern poetry is written for poets, editors, and critics to read.

No, in this lecture, Xidu once again emphasized this viewpoint. "Poetry is not meant to be read in a sense", "Some poems are most attractive when you don't understand them, and when you understand them, their charm may disappear." "What does that mean? In other words, the inability to read modern poetry is the charm.

So the question is, if you don't understand it, then what's the charm? It is estimated that the meaning of Xidu is "a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people". In other words, a modern poem, everyone does not understand, different people, interpretation (in fact, blind guessing) results are different, or even completely opposite, this is the charm.

In more technical terms, it's like "secondary creation", or "collaborative creation". The poet writes a poem that he does not understand, but just throws a brick. You don't understand it after reading it, but you have to guess it, it's like drawing out a piece of jade. In the process of guessing, you have actually completed the second creation of the poem. Together with the poet, you have completed this poem that people don't understand.

It sounds like it makes a lot of sense, and it even feels like it's "high". However, the question arises again, since the poet writes poems that people don't understand, but just make people guess, then why do you want this poem? Who doesn't guess? Do you have to read your poems to guess? Could it be that such a poem, like a "medicine primer", would be invalid without it?

If that's the case, can writing modern poetry still be taught? Do you still need to learn? Write words that people don't understand, and then divide them into branches, who wouldn't do this? It's really not good.,Press a keyboard blindly with your eyes closed.,The input method will output Chinese characters.,And then a branch of the line.,Isn't it? If you want people not to understand, it is estimated that children have the most right to speak.

Then the question arises again (my questions are many), so what will these 7 "famous poets" teach you? Teach you how to make people unreadable? Then this money is a little wronged, more wronged than Dou E, even if it is discounted, it is still wronged enough. Thinking about it like this, my brain suddenly opened up, and modern poetry is not understandable. What exactly is that for?

There is a manuscript fee for the publication of poetry, and there is a bonus for winning a poem, even if it is a lecture, you have to pay for the lecture, and you can't do without money anyway. Poetry can be unreadable, but it is impossible to read without money. So, all the problems were solved. Going around and around, it's just that the word "money" can't get by.

Associating poetry with money is indeed vulgar enough. But it's not that I'm vulgar, it's really that these problems in modern poetry can't be explained, only "money" can make sense. What kind of genre, what kind of ism, what kind of writing method, all of them are in the service of "money". At this point, I'm scared for myself.
