The appearance of "new poem" in the last stages of 1970s and initial stages of 1980s commence a new age's coming of Chinese poem. This stage not only has soci ologica I meaning, but also has rectificative and exploitative meaning for poetic. Firstly the "politic lyric" in the last stages of 1970s and initial stages of 1980s have brightly character of "sense of com i ng back" and "memo of the age". The poet whichever were w i ped out and reverted and caI led "body coming back" such as rightist Aiding, GongLiu, LiuShahe, HuFeng, ZengZuo, LvYuan, DuYunkui, WangXindi, or generalized called "soul coming back" and actively in Parnassus from 1950s and 1960s such as LiYing , HeJ ingzhi, YanChen, GuGong, or- the youth subsequently whooping it up for innovation and the commons such as LeiShuyan, ZhangXuemeng, LuoGengye, YeWenfu, XiongZhaozheng, LiuZuci, all set foot on the tidewater of the age with full political enthusiasm.

Theme of mourn in the political lyrics at the background of think the history deeply are unprecedented abundant. Many poets grasp this chance to consider queasy times, ponder the blindness and folly of the specifically historical days, and probe into socialistic democracy and legal system. The younger poet who are forward-looking with the del ight of I i berate again have the eye on the future of reform and opening of the country. It can besaid that poem has the highest status at the period from the last stage of 1970s to the initial stage of 1980s. Its pol itical and social effect greatly exceed its own" artistic responsibi I ity".
