变革时代的抒情诗人——雷抒雁诗作略论

Lei Shuyan-A Poet of the Reform Period

诗人雷抒雁的诗性创作以1985-1987为界,分为前后两个时期。前期诗人以反思批判的“自我”承担着思想解放年代对社会历史的反思批判,这个反思批判的“自我”深刻显示了中国社会变革的内在觉醒,从而将中国过去“传声筒”式的政治抒情诗转向了以反思批判的“自我”为根基的政治抒情诗。后期诗人将反思批判的“自我”转变成了一个以个体生活体认为主的“自我”,他不再仅以公共性话题的承担为诗情的触发点,而是发掘个体生活体验的诗性本源,这使他把那些个体生活体验震颤时刻,把握为生命的生成事件,并据此创作出了深具人本现实主义的抒情诗。无论是前期、后期,还是前后的转变本身,都表明了雷抒雁诗性写作深深植根于变革年代的心灵探索。

As a famous poet, Lei Shuyan's poetic writing can be divided into two parts, the first part being from 1978 to 1987 and the second part from 1988 to 2000. During the first part, Lei Shuyan used his strong introspective and critical ego to critizise the social - history of China in the great social age of transformation. His strong introspective and critical ego showed that the great social transformation of China, which happened since 1978, came from the waking of the people. According this ego, Lei shuyan helped change the Chinese political lyric from a mouthpiece to the ' self - questioning style'. During the second period, Lei Shuyan changed his introspective and critical ego into a very individual one, his fire of poetic writing no longer triggered by the social - political issues, but by the individual experiences of personal life: what is shocking and amazing from the individual perspective is regarded as important events. This change of ego made the poet wrote many great lyrics with a humanistic and realistic touch. In a word, the first, second periods and the ego change of his poetic writings are deeply rooted in the exploration of the great social transformation of China.
