Rain Lane was written in the summer of 1927. 1927 In March, Dai Wangshu was arrested and detained by the reactionary authorities for propagating the revolution. After the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, he lived in seclusion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Dai Wangshu wrote "The Distress of China People in this Era" (Preface to Wang Shucao) in loneliness. Writing Rain Lane at this time is naturally full of hesitation, disappointment, sadness and hardship.
Second, artistic techniques.
1, change the grammatical structure, and realize the transformation from prose to poetry through clever combination. ?
The magic of Rain Lane lies in the author's wonderful ability to cut long prose sentences, which naturally forms modern poetry with both form and spirit. Take the first section as an example: wandering alone in a long, lonely rain lane with an oil-paper umbrella, hoping to meet a girl with a lilac-like knot, and this arrangement becomes prose. ?
2. The ingenious use of repeated sentence patterns. ?
Taking the third quarter as an example, the coherent sentence patterns in the fourth quarter such as "Like Me", "Like Me", "Like a Dream" and "Like a Dream" can be said to be ingenious extensions of poetry, forming the effect of cyclic singing of poetry and making reading have progressive effects of momentum, emphasis and jumping. Repetition is also manifested in the first and second paragraphs of Rain Lane, which makes the rhythm of poetry appear neat and harmonious. ?
3. Overlapping use of words.
Sometimes in the same line of poetry, such as "long, long", sometimes in the separation of two lines of poetry, such as "sorrow, sorrow, hesitation", sometimes in the separation of stanzas, such as "hesitation" between the second and third stanzas. ?
The overlapping of words makes the same time repeat, thus forming a soothing and melodious rhythm. Rain Lane is flexible and full of vitality in the use of syllables. ?
4. The rhythm of poetry.
"Rain Lane" has ***7 sections, each with 6 lines. "Ang" is used 2 or 3 times in each section, such as rain lane, lingering, hesitation, girl and fragrance, which appear repeatedly between the lines of the poem, making the syllables soothing and melodious. ?
5. Not only the rhyme ending of "Ang" is used, but also a deep and ethereal artistic conception is added with soothing and melodious syllables, and a deep and ethereal artistic conception is added with rhetorical parallelism. ?
The phrase "lilac-like color/lilac-like fragrance/lilac-like sadness" is parallelism. These words have the same number of words and similar structures. Lilac girl is portrayed by parallelism as very charming, but with a touch of sadness, which shows the poet's pursuit of a beautiful ideal, but the ideal is difficult to realize. At the same time, repeated recitation also enhances the musical beauty of poetry and creates a profound and ethereal artistic conception.
Third, the feelings expressed
Through a "lilac-like girl", the poet expressed his desire to pursue a beautiful ideal and the emptiness and sadness after the disillusionment of the ideal, which reflected the poet's dissatisfaction and disappointment with reality and revealed the complicated inner world of intellectuals who were dissatisfied with reality and could not find a way out at that time.
