“Jiuye” Poets’ pursuit of “poetic beauty” has not been fully affirmed in academic history. In fact, “Jiuye” Poets’ view of “modernization of new poetry” is their pursuit of poetic beauty. It is reflected in three aspects: firstly, the “comprehensive” pursuit on the basis of its“objective counterpart”,“dramatization of new poetry”, and “reality, symbol and metaphysic”; Secondly is new rhetoric pursuit of modern poetry language, including metaphor, synaesthesia,“oxymoron” and irony; Thirdly is pursuit of special language tension about the combination of words and words in poem text. Pursuit of the poetic beauty for “Jiuye” Poets does not lack a basis of aesthetics and logic. The perceptual and rhetoric languages like contradictory rhetoric, metaphor, and irony dramatically increase due to their seeking “new sensibility” and aesthetically pursuing intuition in their poems. The thoughtful and argumentative languages substantially increase because of their seeking the intellectual beauty in their poetry.Owing to attaching importance to the new words and defamiliarized language in poetry, their language and form of poetry has a special beauty of tension. Despite the “Jiuye” Poets, overindulging in complex images and abusing metaphor, could lead new poetry to a small elite, their contribution in exploring and creating poetic beauty can’t be denied, and the misty poetry developed based on its aesthetic pursuit at the beginning of the 1980s.
