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.

Key words: metapoetry, contemporary Chinese avant-garde poetry, modernity, truth, writing theory

摘要： 元诗,专指现代性意义上“以诗论诗”、追寻诗歌真理性的先锋诗。它视诗为信仰,通过写诗、论诗,建构起诗与诗、诗与宇宙秩序之间现代性和真理性兼具的诗性联系。元诗,可分为正体的元诗和变体的元诗。西方元诗观念及其背后一系列相关的哲学观念、宗教思想、诗潮诗论等影响了当代中国先锋诗的写作理论。首先,中国先锋诗的写作意识体现为对先验或超验的“写作”及“手艺”的自觉;其次,其写作观念力主“写作与生活同一”“词至上”“诗至上”等“词与物”之间解构与建构的互动;再次,其写作旨归在于追寻“绝对虚构”、祛魅、还原、命名、建制等;最后,其写作处境处于大环境“混乱”与小圈子“误爱”,陷入表象碎片与修辞操练的失势、失欲、失语、失声、失写,正在探索“自新之路”。总之,当代中国元诗与元诗性诗歌写作以具有先锋价值的写作意识、写作观念、写作旨归和写作处境等为导引,代表当代汉诗写作理论的前沿水平。
