2021 is finally over, and whether we like it or not, it's over. In this year, many major events occurred in the poetry world, which is a memorable and epoch-making year. Therefore, we give awards to those who have made outstanding contributions to the poetry world.
Lifetime Achievements: Gidimaga
The Tenth National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association closed, and The 60-year-old former vice chairman of the Writers Association, Ji Di Majia, not only lost the election as chairman of the Writers Association, but was not even a member of the National Committee. Originally, 70 years old was the retirement age of the chairman of the Writers' Association, and Jidimaga was fully advanced by ten years. Is this a retirement of Jidimaga? He is the only one who has achieved lifelong achievements.
Most Outstanding Contribution Award: Li Shaojun
The Poetry Journal is "the only central poetry journal", and the editor-in-chief of the Poetry Journal is also "the only central poetry journal editor-in-chief". As the editor-in-chief of the Poetry Journal, Li Shaojun put forward many ideas in order to revitalize the poetry world. Following the "New Red Face Writing", he also proposed activities such as "Courier Brother Sending Poetry" and "Writing Poems for the League of Legends", and also pointed out that the theme of "female writing" is promising, which can be described as a broken heart in the poetry world.
Best Male Poet Award: Li Bo
Who are the most striking male poets of the year? Not the two headline poets who are neighbors, not Hou Ma who wrote "Hun Chicken Worship", nor the Zikong who wrote "Bird Poetry", but "non-poet" Li Bo. Li Bo is not a poet, but he is the most famous male poet this year. Even after withdrawing from the headlines, Li Bo continued to write poetry. It is also because of Li Bo that a wave of writing traditional poems and commenting on traditional poems has been set off on the Internet.
Best Female Poet Award: Jia Qianqian
This award has no objection, and the most famous poet of this year, of course, is Jia Qianqian. Poems such as Lang Lang, My Mother, and Diary Monologues have been jokingly called and urine bodies, which has once again entered the public's field of vision. In today's increasingly unpopular modern poetry, Jia Qianqian, with his own strength, has successfully attracted the vast number of people who do not know the truth and participated in the discussion of modern poetry, and I am one of them.
Best Publication Award: Poetry Journal
This should also be uncontroversial, "the only central poetry journal" is not casually said. In 2021, Poetry Continued its own path and failed to return to the "core journal of Chinese". In this year, the Poetry Journal still published many "amazing works", such as HouMa's "Hun Chicken Worship year". In this year, the Poetry Journal issued an anti-plagiarism statement, and as soon as the voice dropped, it was found that plagiarism was committed.
Best Editor Award: Editor of Poetry Journal
The editor of the Poetry Journal, of course, has no small right to decide which works are published and which cannot be published. Not only that, but the editor of the Poetry Journal also has the right to change the poem, and it changes the poem without the author's knowledge. No, in the first half of the 11th issue of 2019, Poetry Journal published a poem "Happy to Climb the Cabinet". The editor changed it twice, leaving the author "disappointed, disappointed, depressed, and even resentful."
Best Critic Award: Zou Jianjun
Poetry criticism has always been an important part of poetry. Today's poetry criticism is that a certain famous poet abroad said that it is profound and difficult to understand. However, at the Seventh Poetry Festival in Wuhan, Professor Zou Jianjun of Central China Normal University was very "grounded" when evaluating "Strength Poet" Yang Ke's "Dadong Lake". "I hope that this poem can be engraved on the large stone of East Lake and become an important cultural landscape."
Best Group Award: Long Poetry Award Organizing Committee
The 6th China Long Poetry Award was announced on November 15, 2021, but Shi Shiran's work "Spring Day, Yang Zonghai", which won the "Best New Talent Award", is missing everywhere. It was not until December 16, 2021, seeing that the award date was getting closer and closer, that the "Han Poetry Promotion" public account launched this poem on the Internet, and two sections were missing, saying that these two sections were accepted by the publication.
In the new year of 2022, I hope that the poetry world will follow the example of these winners and continue to work hard to make the poetry world more and more lively. Poets, publications, editors, and critics, you must have the courage to take responsibility, continue to forge ahead, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the development of the poetry world. Let more works get the attention of the public, let more poets arouse heated discussion, and we will succeed. As for whether it is a positive or bad review, it doesn't matter, someone will comment on it, this is popularity. As long as there is popularity, it is easy to do, as for the angry people are not angry, it is another matter.
