Recently, Liu Xiangdong, editor-in-chief of the Selected Poetry Journal, plagiarized the incident, causing a lot of noise. Liu Xiangdong's "Yes, this is poetry", which was accused of copying Li's poetry appreciation article, was published in Haiyan. Not only that, but there was also news that Liu Xiangdong copied Xichuan's poetry review articles.
However, the parties concerned, as well as the relevant publications involved, have been silent, as if there is no one else. The repeated prohibition of plagiarism in the poetry world can not help but make people have such a feeling: in the poetry world, plagiarism is not a thing, no need to make a fuss.
"Poetry Journal" stationed in the village poet Reed Bank, his poem "Aesthetic Principles", was exploded to copy Zhang Mou's "Wilderness". This is not "borrowed" plagiarism, but copy-paste. But it's not exactly copy-and-paste, and there are a few minor changes. However, Reed Bank is still a "famous poet" and there is no news of any related treatment.
A poem by Dong Xiyang published in the second issue of "West" in 2021, "Everything I Want to Say—", but some people found that this poem actually had a lot of similarities with Kitajima's "Everything". However, the matter was still closed, and there was no follow-up news.
The tolerant attitude of the poetry world towards plagiarists has made plagiarists bolder and bolder. The plagiarist Diao Moumou's work "Middle Age" was published in the July 2021 issue of Poetry Journal. The key is that the work he copied turned out to be Li Moumou's work "Lamp" published in the August issue of Poetry Journal in 2018. That is, the plagiarists copied in the Poetry Journal, and then published it in the Poetry Journal.
How bold does that have to be? The author at least knows that the Poetry Journal will not detect plagiarism similarities. Even if it is discovered, it is not a big deal. The thief stole other people's things, and then sold them to others in a dignified manner, the key is that people actually paid for it. Such a ridiculous thing, I am afraid that only the poetry world exists.
Is it hard to fight plagiarism? In response to the plagiarism incident, the Poetry Journal issued a statement in September 2021 entitled "Returning a Clear Sky to the Poetry World". In the statement, poetry journal said that anti-plagiarism was indeed limited by "manpower, vision and technology.". "Even if we are very careful, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net."
But is it difficult to fight plagiarism now? In fact, it is really not difficult, compared to the same plagiarism are automatic, and do not require too much manual intervention. Only the handling of the washing of the manuscript requires manual judgment. But for large-area similar copy-paste, the detection technology is really not difficult.
"There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts", the poetry world anti-plagiarism, the difficulty is not in technical labor, but in whether it really wants to put an end to plagiarism. If the poetry world really wants to put an end to plagiarism and have zero tolerance for plagiarists, at least those blatant plagiarism phenomena will not appear.
In fact, for plagiarism, the poetry world always "turns a blind eye", and even "throws the pot". Often, after the plagiarists are caught, the poetry circle pretends to deal with it, or ignores it at all. Rarely do you see the poetry circles themselves discovering and dealing with the news of plagiarists.
"Famous poet" Shi Geng released "Poetry Plagiarism, How to Fight More and More?" article. In this article, Shi Geng believes that the situation of poetry plagiarism appearing in which everyone shouts and beats is the main reason for the increasing number of poetry plagiarism incidents. Push the responsibility for plagiarism to the person who shouts and beats, and the pot is thrown beautifully enough.
Ten cultivators "there is some truth in this statement", if you don't care about plagiarism, then is plagiarism non-existent? You pretend not to see it, I pretend not to see it, and the plagiarism "doesn't exist".
Therefore, this is to ask us to copy the poetry world "habit into nature", which is not strange. Seeing the phenomenon of plagiarism, everyone did not say a word. Each takes what he needs, each has what he wants, and isn't the poetry world still a "harmony"? But there are outsiders, who do not know how to lift, who like to be nosy, and these people are the culprits who destroy the great situation in the poetry world. I'm afraid I'm one of them.
