"Walking a lonely long distance of six hours", the poem begins slowly. There are no excessive descriptions or modifications, and it appears extremely plain and natural. "Six hours" indicates a long time, and "long distance" indicates a long distance. "Loneliness" is not only the actual feeling of the poet at that time and place, but also the reflection of the poet's long-term state of mind. A true portrayal, and by extension, it is not the reason for Xiao Hong's misfortune.
The second line, "Put a bouquet of red camellia by your head", brings a bright color to the poem. Xiao Hong loves flowers and often writes about various flowers in her works. Now she sends a bouquet of red camellia to your head. A bunch of bright camellias is the greatest comfort to the deceased. The artistic characteristics of this poem are: the verses are spoken in spoken language, which is simple and bright; the narrative is very concise, but it allows delicate and deep feelings to be expressed naturally.
Original text
Kouzhan beside Xiao Hong’s tomb
Walking a lonely distance of six hours,
putting a bouquet of red camellia tea by your head ,
I waited, the night was long,
but you lay listening to the waves gossiping.
In the history of Chinese new poetry, Dai Wangshu is a poet who wrote few poems but was very influential. He is particularly unique in the mood of his poems and is a bright star in the sky of new poetry.
Although the late Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong once disparaged his poems, thinking that the language of his poems was not mature enough; there are also some other poetry lovers who think that the wording of his poems is too sweet and exaggerated. The poem has the feeling of "composing new words to express sorrow". But this will not affect the "spire" status and love for Dai Wangshu and his poems in my heart.
"Xiao Hong's Tombside Account" is called a mourning poem but there are no mourning verses. It is not like the pattern of typical mourning poems. The poet's ink is extremely restrained, even stingy, and does not describe the voice, smile, or appearance of the deceased. The character, character and life experiences did not exaggerate the friendship between himself and the deceased. The understatement and restraint revealed a trace of poignant sadness and a deep yearning.
For many years, this short few lines of poem have produced a long-lasting artistic appeal and a touch of sadness and poignant artistic conception among readers, which makes it meaningful to read.
The poet did not avoid a long journey, did not worry about the time, and went to Qianshuiwan Tomb with a lonely heart to pay his respects, not out of rational responsibility and obligation, the reluctance of moral conscience, and the temptation of fame and fortune, but It comes from the true cry and impulse deep in the soul. When I think of my friend's wandering and rough life, and of my own misfortune, I can't help but feel sad.
The metaphor of "red camellia" expresses the sincere praise, appreciation and memory of Xiao Hong. Isn't the meaning of the flower nature of red camellia exactly the character and style of Xiao Hong's life? The portrayal of Ling Han - noble, cool, persevering, persistent and unrestrained.
Picking a bouquet of bright red camellia is the best way for a poet like Dai Wangshu to commemorate and pay tribute to his deceased friend. Placing a bouquet of bright red camellia is this. The best condolence and tribute to Xiao Hong, a poet who loved and wrote about flowers during his lifetime.
