Author Tseng, Tsung-hsiu 
Page 225~250 
Abstract Third-generation poetry is a group with pioneer awareness in contemporary China poetry society. Previous discussions stress on some concepts such as colloquial, ordinariness, and narrative. At the same time, deep lyricism is hidden. This article focuses on their lyricalness by taking two important poets, Bo Hua and Han Dong. It tries to reinterpret the lyrical performance of third-generation poetry. This article consists of three parts. First, we argue the relation between the post-hero subject and lyricalness and point out lyrical consciousness of third-generation poetry. Second, we observe how Han Dong and Bo Hua develop unique lyric patterns under post-modern situation. Third, we discuss how to combine lyric with irony to show its multiple levels in post-modern situations. The article points out that third-generation poetry indicate the arrival of a "tiny" time. Their lyrical and varied appearances correspond to the complex living environment in contemporary China. In terms of lyric vision, they updated and enhanced the relationship between modern Chinese poetry and lyricism.
