Abstract: Poets in the 1980s presented a noticeable attitude in their poetry composition：“towards future”，an attitude not unrelated to the social context of the time. One representative is Luo Yihe whose poems were based on the cultural status quo of the 1980s and were objectively critical of flows in traditional culture. According to him，the“river”of the agrarian civilization will inevitably merge into a broader “sea”，and only in this way can the Chinese culture achieve greater development. As for the negative phenomena in the 1980s，Luo，in his poems，also had sober recognition and reflection. He believed that his generation of poets were destined to be the“pioneers”on the long poetic road ahead and pave the way for the new generations to come，reflecting their social responsibilities.

Key words: Luo Yihe, poetry of the 1980s, cultural attitude, concept of poetry creation
