中国新诗的精神危机及其解救之道

Spiritual Crisis and the Salvation of Chinese Neo-poetry

二十世纪八十年代中期以来,中国新诗在一片"乱花渐欲迷人眼"的表面繁荣的背后,也隐藏着诗歌精神的危机,直接导致诗歌内涵的平庸,诗歌格调的下降:或停留于对日常生活的琐屑叙述,或沉湎于对低级趣味的追逐赏玩,或陶醉于个人欲望的肆意宣泄,或满足于简单表达的语言游戏。很显然,解决新诗精神危机的关键还在诗人本身。当务之急是要做到:明确诗人的艺术使命,增强诗人的责任意识;纠正诗歌的价值偏向,提升诗歌的精神境界;加大诗歌的现实关注,扩大诗歌的社会影响。

Since the mid-1980s, under the surface of the prosperity of so called ＂kinds of flowers are about to keep people＇s eyes tully oc cupied＂, there remains spiritual crisis of poetry under cover in Chinese neo-poetry, which directly leads to commonplace in soul, decline in style： or stay in petty narrative on everyday life, or indulge in chasing the delight of vulgar taste, or revel in wanton vent of personal desires, or content with language games which are simply expressed. Obviously, the key to solving the spiritual crisis of the neo-poetry lies in the poets themselves. A task of top priority is to： define the artistic mission, enhance sense of responsibility of poets; put right the value deviation, elevate spiritual realm of poetry; increase concern about reality, and expand the social influence of poetry.
