On August 23, according to Red Star News, on the afternoon of August 17, the China Writers Association announced the list of 2022 member development, and planned to develop 994 members.
Among them, Jia Qianqian, the daughter of the famous writer Jia Pingwo, in the list of members to be developed, because some of his works were accused of low literary level, which caused controversy among netizens, questioning the membership criteria of the China Writers Association.
On the afternoon of the 23rd, the staff of the Member Work Office of the Creative Liaison Department of the China Writers Association told reporters that 944 members who intend to develop, including Jia Qianqian, were reviewed and reported in accordance with the procedures. For the questions questioned by netizens, it will be recorded and verified.
"After the publicity is over, we will report the information received during the publicity period and the verification situation to the Secretariat again, and the Secretariat will only publish the (official) list after the Meeting and Confirmation, usually within a few days." The staff member said.
According to Xinmin Weekly, Jia Qianqian was born to the famous writer Jia Pingwa and his first wife, and she also had a half-sister named Jia Ruoruo. Born in 1979, Jia Qianqian, aged 43, is currently an associate professor at the College of Literature at Northwest University and vice chairman of the Shaanxi Youth Literature Association. In December 2017, Jia Qianqian won the Poetry Award of the Second Shaanxi Youth Literature Award.
Although Jia Qianqian was the daughter of the great writer Jia Pingwa and also published poetry collections and won awards, her own literary works were not well known to the public.
Until 2021, Tang Xiaolin published an article in "Literary Freedom Talk" entitled "Jia Qianqian's Explosion of Popularity, Highlighting the Chaos in the Poetry World", and Jia Qianqian was immediately pushed to the cusp of the storm and became the focus of hot discussion.
In this article, Tang Xiaolin unceremoniously criticized Jia Qianqian's works for becoming popular, behind which "various literary masters and poets actively write reviews for Jia Qianqian's poetry. Because he read Jia Qianqian's poems, he believes that her poems are not only "enter key writing", but also particularly heavy taste, like to urinate into poems, such as this one:
Another poem " Snowy Day" is also a poem that has recently been "relished" by many netizens:
According to the China News Network, this critical article then quickly ignited the public opinion field, netizens began to discuss what is the beauty of poetry, whether it is appropriate to appear in poetry," and even began to launch a "shallow body" imitation contest on the Internet, "shallow body" style plus the label of "Daughter of Jia Pingwo", so that the incident was further fermented. According to statistics, the number of Weibo topics read by "the poems published by Jia Pingwa's daughter has reached 600 million, and some netizens call it "and literature".
Excerpts from Jia Qianqian's poems
However, in addition to the criticism of the "shallow body", many writers, scholars and netizens have put forward the opposite opinion, they believe that for poetry, there can be many subjective evaluation criteria, but the evaluation standard should be "on poetry", do not presuppose positions because of identity, if you just extract fragments and words in poetry to criticize, it is more like "black for black".
It has also been pointed out that Jia Qianqian's poetry is not entirely the style mentioned in the above article, such as this "Coconut":
Some of the seawater is tied in coconuts
Become a quiet inland lake
It refuses to participate in the tie-dye of time
Like the object preposition in ancient texts
You can only stand with your hands hanging down
Look up at it
After that, the surging news contacted the author of the article, Tang Xiaolin, who said that he was concerned about online remarks, but it was not convenient to express personal opinions, hoping that literature would be handed over to literature and let readers judge it themselves. And Jia Qianqian and Jia Ping did not respond.
In the book "Inland Lake in coconuts", Jia Qianqian's introduction is "associate professor of the School of Literature of Northwest University, doctor of literature, student of the 32nd advanced research class of Lu Xun College of Literature, participated in the 35th Youth Poetry Society, and vice chairman of the Shaanxi Youth Literature Association." ”
