Zhejiang youth Zheng, 1978 was born in an ordinary family in Zhejiang. He has published poems and other works under his pseudonym, and he is a famous poet. In high school, he didn't seem to have much extraordinary talent. Because he is not interested in what the teacher teaches in class, he hides in the library, studies classic works and deals with words all day. At that time, he had no lofty pursuit. He just wants to be a security guard in front of the library in the future, so that he can read books in the library all day, or work as a bartender in a star-rated hotel and live an ordinary life. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Hangzhou University as a TV director. Even so, he didn't give up his love for words. After graduation, he founded Guopi. And continue to take his interest as his career development.
Zheng also loves poetry very much and has his own ideas. In his view, poetry should not be a pile of gorgeous rhetoric, nor should it be bound by a framework, nor should it become a mere formality. It should innovate according to the development of the new era. So he began to write his own "nonsense poems", such as his work "Busy Day", which simply and concisely described how a busy day passed in a hurry. Such a seemingly simple poem has become popular on the Internet.
Zheng's poems are very grounded. Some netizens commented that this nonsense poem is very tacky, and it has no rules and nuanced description of things, which is more like a straightforward narrative in life. Because Zheng's "nonsense poems" are sought after by many people, he is also known as the "avant-garde poet", but more of them are teasing.
With the increasing popularity of Zheng's "Wulitou Poetry", it has also attracted the attention of some famous poets. Poet Yu Zhou claimed that poetry is mainly divided into three schools: the first is the "academic" style poetry, which is very neat and serious; The second content is more radical, and I like to express my feelings and opinions in fierce language; The third kind of poetry, called "entertainment school", is not bound by norms and does not express feelings, but directly records daily life. Obviously, Zheng's "Wulitou Poetry" belongs to the entertainment school, and just when "Wulitou Poetry" was denied and questioned, the poet Yaping Zhou began to speak. He believes that poetry must be close to our lives, not above them. He believes that Zheng's "nonsense poems" are in line with this point, starting from daily trivial matters, which is worth advocating and should not be laughed at.
The reason why those classic poems can be passed down to this day must have its value and significance. How can we comment on the quality of literary works? Is it content or form? I don't think so. As long as it exists at a certain stage, it has its inevitable reasons, and its value of existence is the product of the times. "Wulitou Poetry" is denied and questioned, which makes sense. Because its content and form are too simple, people generally think that poetry is full of connotation and ideological content, which is obviously contrary to what people think of as a good work. However, I don't think there is a fixed standard for so-called good or bad. As long as you like recognition, it is a good work. As the saying goes, a flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in the garden. Literary works are like flowers. Only when different flowers bloom can we have rural scenery in spring.
