中国诗歌的发展道路和发展方向——读刘章的诗

The Developing Course of the Chinese Poetry——on Liu Zhang's Poems

20世纪80年代以来的中国诗坛有一个十分奇特并引人注目的现象,即新体诗和旧体诗的共存共荣和分途发展。然而,从整体上看,二者都存在着严重的缺陷。新体诗的缺陷是抛弃传统,一味西化,丧失了民族特点,旧体诗的缺陷则是一味因袭传统,缺乏创新。刘章的诗歌创作一方面继承传统,努力吸收中国古典诗歌的精华,另一方面又力求创新,对中国古典诗歌的内容和形式进行改革,这使他的作品既富有民族特色和传统风味,又富有现代气息和创新精神;即避免了旧体诗的缺点,也弥补了新体诗的缺陷,从而指明了中国诗歌的发展道路和发展方向。

There used to be a peculiar and striking phenomenon in the 80's of the twentieth century. i.e., the co-existence of the old type of poetry and the new one. Both of them have their serious drawbacks. The new type abandoned its tradition and lost its national feature while the old type stuck to its tradition and lacked creativity. Liu Zhang's poems made up for both of these defects. He also improved the content and style.
