A Study Of Death Aesthetics Of Obscure Poetry (1968-1986)

After the 1990s,"obscure" poets and their works began to attract the attention of the academic community.There have been a mass of related works and papers.Including the Bei Dao,Shu Ting,Gu Cheng,Jiang He,Yang Lian,Duo Duo,Mang Ke,Shi Zhi and Huang Xiang,etc.The phenomenon that the poets' re-examination and did a positive and meaningful academic exploration on the poems from different perspectives,has become common practice.There are a large number of“death poems" in the poetry works.The writing and presentation of“death”reached its peak after the "Cultural Revolution".The poet's straightforward depiction and deeply concern about "death" in poetry texts has a strong sentimental structure and life consciousness.To explain the poems with the theory of "death aesthetics" has certain rationality.The definition of the concept of death aesthetics requires rigorous language.The scope of its research logic is limited to the artistic text,which stipulates the scope of application of death aesthetics,which surpasses the difficulty of "death" in the aesthetic and rational context.The birth of the aesthetics of death poetry is not from heaven.The initiation of the death aesthetics of the poetry was not descended from the heavens but emerged gradually under the combined forces of multiple factors.The factors include:political oppression,western element and traditional mythology.Under this phenomenon,the discussion of the poetry's death aesthetics has a certain degree significance.The interpretation of death implied in the poetry text refers specifically to the way of death discourse and death imagination.The way of death discourse in poetry is a unique binary oppositional semantic structure.It not only contains rich connotations of consciousness,writing and expressing death comprehension,but also can better highlight the aesthetic meaning of "death" in the poems.Death imagination is to analyze the "death" experience and intuition illusion in poetry.It is the hallucination experience of the poet's internal psychology,which embodies the inner power and source of the chant death.The interpretation of death under the aesthetic value of poems is the most complex and profound content.The aesthetic dimension,aesthetic emblem and aesthetic performance all analyze the direction of“death” in the aesthetic value of poetry.Obscure poets are bitter and lonely,and they enclose the profound aesthetic significance of“death”.Aesthetic thinking can be divided into the strong will of life,the sense of tragic and the spirit of independence.“Death”does not only have the meaning of physical death in the poetry text,but also includes the cultural death and the personality death in the category,so as to counter the oppression of totalitarian politics.The aesthetic manifestations of the death aesthetics can be divided into three dimensions:passion complaint,death narrative and poetry independence.The aesthetic performance is the artistic method chosen by the poet when he writes poetry.Obscure poets directly face the "death" to perform metaphysical understanding and contemplation,the subject's initiative has played a significant role in the formation of their own independent thinking,reflecting the perfection and sound quality of the poet's mind and spirit structure,thus constructing a true poetry classics.Throughout the 20th century poetry writing practice,the poet has always had a certain degree of indulging in the themes of death,and poetry only restores the long-standing poetic tradition.This means that the aesthetics of "death" will continue and will not stop in miserable poems,nor will it stop in any poetry school in the future.
