诗歌作为一种特定的文学类型,其文体规范的根本特征是语言。据此勾画出的中国当代诗歌的发展轨迹应该是:由抒情到讲述,即由歌唱式到说话式。回顾中国诗歌发展的历史,诗歌文体的演进始终围绕着一个目的,这就是保持和增强诗的抒情性,从中国古代直到20世纪80年代末,概莫如是。本世纪最后十年,诗的语言范式发生了根本性的变化。抒情性明显减弱,叙述性话语开始加强,但是,当诗歌由抒情消解为平面的讲述时,诗歌还存在吗? As a kind of specific literary genre, its fundamental characteristic of style regulation is language. The outline of the development of contemporary Chinese poetry delineated by it should be: from the lyric to narration, that is, from singing to speaking. Recalling the history of the development of Chinese poetry, the evolution of poetry style has always centered around one purpose. This is to maintain and enhance the lyrical nature of poetry, from ancient China until the late 1980s. In the last decade of this century, the language paradigm of poetry has undergone fundamental changes. Lyricism obviously weakened and narrative discourse began to strengthen. However, did poetry still exist when poetry was dismissed as lyrical and flat?
