The publishing behavior of literacy creation requires some knowledge on the authors and readers’ reading behaviors. Based on this point of view, domestic professional writers are very few and stagnant due to the publishing environment, which can be reflected through the number of poetry works collected in The Best Collection; such writing cycle is surely doesn’t inspire courage for local poetic creation.
