The Influence of Unnamed Poetry Festival on Poetry Festival

Since the song "Unknown Lake is a sea of poems, poets are hidden underwater" (Xu) started, and since the Unknown Lake Poetry Society first infected the campus, Unknown Lake, a quiet little lake in this bay, it has become one of the most ambiguous metaphors. Like a piece of glass missed by an angel, she calmly accepted numerous quotations of simple waves and complex ripples: she is open, she is humble, and she maintains the nature of water. She can tolerate one name or another, but refuses any possibility of naming or representation. Nameless, it is precisely because there is no fetter of naming that she breeds her moral characteristics and life tension of tolerance and fraternity.

Naming and depicting is not necessarily a good thing, especially for poetry. The reason why "Peking University Poetry" has become a cherished tradition in the exciting writing and practice of a group of poets is that there is no qualitative and rigid concept to bind and restrain it. The spirit of Peking University poetry-exploration, discovery and even invention-has influenced generations of Peking University people. What makes these wisdom gather and shine is the Weiming Lake Poetry Society. Under the tolerance of the unnamed lake, with poetry as the link, thoughts collide and wisdom blends, and the soul finds a bosom friend and a home.

However, not all poems are beautiful. The poem "Unnamed Lake" which was baptized by the temple originated from the deep desire of the soul, boasting the power of life and giving us the release and comfort of the soul. But in today's society, although it can't be said that it is materialistic, it is indeed full of obscene desires. Poets who were once called "the light of the world" will also accidentally mix with vulgar utilitarianism. In these hands, poetry began to go to the grave.

In a word, the Unnamed Poetry Festival has a special influence on Peking University and even the whole China poetry circle. The new poetry festival will push this tradition to a new height.
