昨天放群挨砸，最值得录在此的是Chaos的特评，如下：


特邀特评：

chaos：东西方命名权的区别是

"制造方与产品名"先后次序调转的区别。


西方的命名权首先得有"身在"才能指名，造"身"者首先给"成品"命名，之后才会冠上"姓" 表明 "这身的出处"


即是，先有难得的"人身"后才给它标榜(身)的出处和产地名--"姓"


东方，造"人身"者先标注制造商或出产地的"姓"先，之后才给"产品"冠名"


即是先宣示主权："先有老子后才有你"，"先有制造方才有产品"，"先有我(姓)后才有你(名)".........


01 这是一群"身死"在自己的领地却摆脱了身前名身后姓能轻松离别本土永世唱游在世界各地继续去延颂他们哀歌的群体...，不管是在看不见看得见的目光里，他们的声音都能超越国界渗透时间去散发它隔世的诗性和永留它语言的芳香...

我自己的自评如下：


欧阳自评：解释一下。如果你们到五眼国之一的澳大利亚来读书，姓名都得换个过。值班的李明亮，登记薄上肯定是：Mingliang Li，张萌呢，肯定是Meng Zhang。原来我知道有个叫“马也”的人，名字也给倒过去了，成了：Ye Ma。你听听，这不是“野马”又是啥？但威廉•莎士比亚进入中国，从来没人把他搞成“莎士比亚•威廉”吧？我们如此自我殖民，所以，不如干脆把欧阳修弄成“欧阳•修”，就像我列表的那几个古人一样。谢了、卸了、歇了、泄了。

LOWER DOWNS, RUBBISH AND LOW POETRY by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
Beauty is so far from being the dominant principle of modern poetry that many of the most splendid modern works are clearly portrayals of ugliness - Friedrich Schlegel ( On the Study of Greek Poetry , 1797) Contemporary Chinese poetry has unashamedly turned from the sublime and sacred to the vulgar and profane. In April 1999 at the Panfeng Conference in Pinggu County, Beijing, poets split into two camps, the  zhishi fenzi  (intellectual) and the  minjian . 1  The poets in the intellectual camp (Wang Jiaxin, Ouyang Jianghe, Xi Chuan, Zang Di and others) were mostly well-published, anthologised, critically acclaimed, well-travelled and internationally well-connected. As university professor and poetry critic Cheng Guangwei noted, much of their poetry reflects the influences of Western literary masters such as Yeats, Rilke, Lowell, Pound, Baudelaire, Milosz, Pasternak and Brodsky. 2  The  minjian camp (Yu Jian, Yi Sha, Xu Jiang and others) critiqued these infl...

Self Publishing, a poem by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
In a way, everything is self publishing. When you open your mouth to talk, you are self publishing because you don’t want someone else to speak for you even if he or she were the speech writer for Howard or Bush or Mao Zedong. When the rain decides to fall it is self publishing, on a regional scale, sometimes on a statewide scale. You can’t dismiss it as unworthily self publishing because it doesn’t fall on a national scale or international scale. Rivers in the world are self publishing on a daily and nightly basis. Even a little creek is self publishing when it winds its way through an industrial zone clogged with toxicity and waste. Birds never remain quiet because they don’t get paid for calling, their ways of self publishing that never is actually recorded in human history, not even in birds’ history, and when sometimes it does get recorded as in relaxation music they still don’t get paid and they still keep singing, their ways of self publishing. Some great self publish...

Wenche Ommundsen: Not for the Faint-Hearted: Ouyang Yu: The Angry Chinese Poet

By Ouyang Yu

Wenche Ommundsen: Not for the Faint-Hearted: Ouyang Yu: The Angry Chinese Poet [PAGE 595] In the title poem of Ouyang Yu's first collection,  Moon Over Melbourne , a homesick Chinese poet compares the Australian moon with the moon celebrated by countless poets in his homeland. The moon is the same, but at the same time it is different. Like the ancient Chinese moon, it inspires poetry—and madness. But in Australia, that poetry is born of frustration and loss, and of everything this foreign moon fails to be. The ‘bastard’ moon over suburban Melbourne even looks Australian. ‘Mooching’ along in an ‘air-conditioned’, ‘I-wouldn't-care-less’ kind of mood, it mimics the country's indifference towards the newcomer and towards everything else: ‘you hang on you all right you no worries mate’. 1  Australia and China are both colonizers, but they colonize differently. While Australia is content to plant ‘the rag of a flag/among your rocks’, and then retreat into lazy indifference,...
