The Great Image of the East —— Appreciation of Chen Yiyuan's Poem Flowers
The flower meaning in this poem is the great image of the East. Flowers refer to the flowers of Cycas, "the sword of flowers is pulled out in the hot sun", and the shape of flowers and the open season are metaphors of Cycas. In this image, China's traditional chivalrous spirit and heroic temperament are infused.
"Flowers do not bend/break" is a heroic and unyielding hero. Even if the flowers are drunk/even in the murderous autumn/even on the cliff after the glory/even if all the flowers wither/you are still tall and straight/your only goal in life/pointing to the blue sky ",there are poems in these poems that" wealth cannot be lewd "and" poverty cannot be moved ". In the image of Hua, we can see the integrity and chivalrous spirit of China traditional literati, which is the orientalism of this image.
"Flowers travel all over the world all their lives" is a wanderer and a chivalrous man who is determined to move forward for ambition. In the praise of this thought, we can see the poet's personality ideal. The only goal in life/pointing to the sky and traveling around the world.
This is a big image, and the beauty it embodies is great beauty. Flowers are beautiful in the eyes of ordinary people. Even in the works of the great romantic poet Li Bai, such as "clouds need clothes, flowers need capacity", in this poem, flowers are no longer delicate, but appear in the image of a sword that matches the hero. It dares to contend with the murderous autumn, "even if the flowers wither" and "still tall and straight", showing indomitable masculine beauty. In stark contrast to the small realm of flowers and plants. "Clouds stop in the summer sky/flowers are a gentle sword", which is the great realm of "Long sword Geng Jie, leaning beyond the sky". I agree with the view that big images show great ambition and great realm.
And "flowers" describe children who are sprouting teeth. They are the flowers of our motherland.
