Abstract: Metapoetry refers to avant-garde modernitst poetry that reflects on poetry itself and pursues poetic truth. It regards poetry as faith and through writing and discussing poetry, constructs a poetic connection that combines modernity and truth between poetry and poetry, poetry and the order of the universe. Metapoetry can be divided into classical metapoetry and variant metapoetry. The Western concept of metapoetry and a series of related philosophical concepts, religious thoughts, and poetic theories have influenced the writing theory of contemporary Chinese avant-garde poetry. Firstly, its writing consciousness is reflected in the consciousness of a priori or transcendent “writing” and “craftsmanship.” Secondly, its writing philosophy advocates for the deconstruction and construction of the interaction between “words and things” such as “writing and life are the same,” “word supremacy,” and “poetry supremacy.” Thirdly, its writing aims to pursue “absolute fiction,” demystification, restoration, naming, establishment, etc. Finally, metapoetry in contemporary China exists within a dual context of broader cultural “disorder” and subcultural “misguided admiration,” leading to poetic environments characterized by fragmentation of surface, excessive rhetorical exercise, and the crises of diminished desire, articulation, voice and even the ability to write. These conditions have pushed poets to explore paths of renewal. In short, contemporary Chinese metapoetry and metapoetic poetry writing are guided by avant-garde writing consciousness, writing concepts, writing goals, and writing situations, representing the forefront of contemporary Chinese poetry theories.
