Liang Ping, the current vice chairman of the Sichuan Writers Association and a famous poet, still remembers a sentence that his old predecessor, Mr. Ma Zhitu, said at the inaugural meeting of the Chongqing Municipal Writers Association 23 years ago: "We live by a culture and write in a dialect." In his view, Ma Lao's words were not only outdated at the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Poetry and Wine Culture Forum that opened on August 29, but also just right.
In the eyes of Fu Tianlin, the first lu xun literature award winner and famous poet in Chongqing, in the past two days, in addition to the appeal of the organizers, the poets of the two places have never broken their deep friendship. On August 30, more than 80 poets discussed the poetry of the Two Cities and then set off, and the upstream news chongqing morning newspaper reporter also approached a number of poetry celebrities at the scene and listened to them chat about the poetry of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities.

You have me, I have you
At the poetry meeting that took the lead in appearing on the evening of the 28th, Liang Ping said with great emotion that what was particularly rare in the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Poetry and Wine Culture Forum was that poets from the two places achieved four generations of the same church. Specifically, among the more than 80 poets present, there were not only famous poets such as Alai, Liang Ping, Zhang Xinquan, Hua Wanli, Fu Tianlin, Li Gang, and Shang Zhongmin, but also Liu Hongli, Qiu Zhenglun, Li Haizhou, Xiang Yixian, Convex Concave, Liu Qingquan, He House, Jin Lingzi and other backbones, as well as Xiong Yan, Li Bin, Yang Qingfa, Wu Xiao worm, Ma Xi, Cheng Chuan, Liu Dongling, Zhang Yin, Wang Yan and other post-80s and even post-90s poets.
In the case of Ah, chairman of the Sichuan Writers Association and winner of the Mao Dun Literature Prize, no matter what, the culture represented by poetry is the most unlikely to be separated, and it has always been the state of me having you and you having me. "It is impossible to say that the Sichuan Opera Troupe in Chongqing is not singing Sichuan opera, and It is impossible for He Qifang to be just a Chongqing poet." Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh In the Chinese New Poetry Movement in the 1980s, the development level of Sichuan poetry was ahead of the whole country, "that is, the Jiangshan that Chengdu poets and Chongqing poets fought together." Ah Lai said that all aspects of the development of Chengdu and Chongqing should form a joint force, the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle has opened the curtain, the economy has moved, and of course the culture cannot lag behind.

Zhang Xinquan, the winner of the first Lu Xun Literature Award, who began to publish poetry works in the 1970s, said that the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Poetry and Wine Culture Forum can be said to be in line with the trend, and he is particularly optimistic that poets from the two places will have in-depth exchanges through this forum and re-collide with new sparks. The old poet Hua Wanli, who is nearly eighty years old, is the best proof of the integration of the culture of the two cities, and in his early years, he won the first and second literary awards of Sichuan Province with his poems "The Sun Is Always in Our Hearts" and "Selected Poems of Hua Wanli".
Fu Tianlin, Chongqing's first Lu Xun Literature Prize winner and president of the Chongqing New Poetry Society, who is slightly younger than Hua Wanli, was born in Zizhong, Sichuan. As a senior, she especially sighed: "Chengdu and Chongqing are fertile land for poetry, and Chengdu-Chongqing poets of all ages have not stopped creating and are active in the poetry world today." "The successful holding of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Poetry and Wine Culture Forum shows the original deep friendship between the poets of the two places." Fu Tianlin said: "Whether it is the older generation of poets or the younger generation of poets, everyone is nourished by the green mountains and rivers of Bashu, and the same poets have never felt alienated from each other. ”

Chengyu is a rare Gemini constellation
"On China's map, Chengdu and Chongqing are rare Gemini constellations." In the view of Qiu Zhenglun, a famous poet and vice chairman of the Chongqing Literary and Art Critics Association, the temperament and personality of the two cities are completely different, but "it is difficult to say whether a poet is a Chongqing poet or a Chengdu poet." Qiu Zhenglun believes that this is the consistency of the writing style cultivated by the Bashu landscape.
The famous poet Shang Zhongmin was born in Henan, but studied at Chongqing University and now lives in Chengdu. When he was in college, he initiated the "Student Poetry School" and had a considerable influence. He first pointed out that it is very rare for the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Poetry and Wine Culture Forum to gather so many poets from the two places, after all, since the 1980s, the poets of Chengdu and Chongqing can be said to occupy half of the Chinese poetry scene. In Shang Zhongmin's view, this forum allows poets from Chengdu and Chongqing to maintain their inherent friendship, and it is very beneficial to bravely go out with a more pioneering mentality. "Writing poetry is your own business, but writing it requires communication, readers, friends, teachers..." Shang Zhongmin said that this forum is just a bridge, so that everyone can interact with each other and communicate.

Li Haizhou, a poet in Chongqing and editor-in-chief of the Department of Global Human Geography, believes that the most prominent field of blood connection and cultural interpenetration between Chengdu and Chongqing is poetry. Li Haizhou said that the reason why the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities are called the epicenter of poetry is because many important poets of different genres have been born here. For example, Fu Tianlin and Li Gang are representatives of the obscure poetry genre, Li Yawei in Manghanism, Liu Taiheng in Holism, and so on. Li Haizhou used "one vein in the same vein" to describe the poets who participated in this poetry and wine culture forum.
He believes that it is particularly rare to take this opportunity to comb through the poetry of the two places. Similar to Liang Ping, Li Haizhou also specifically mentioned the "four generations in the same hall", for young people in their 20s, grandparents, uncles and aunts are there, which is a rare inheritance.
On the afternoon of August 30th, the participating poets and guests will also discuss topics such as "The Role of Chengdu-Chongqing Poetry in the Development of Contemporary Poetry", "The Intervention of Modernity and Contemporaryness of Chengdu-Chongqing Poetry", and "Discussion on the Writing of Young Poets in Chengdu and Chongqing".
