The wind is white and the forest is dark, and the fog is full of blue flowers.

I would like to beg a new artist to study Zhu Mo only as a spring mountain.

The evil wind blowing from Nanjing makes thousands of trees dim, fog covers the sky, and flowers wither and wither. I hope the painter can conceive a new artistic conception, just using bright colors to describe the beautiful mountains and rivers in spring.

1. The creative background of A Gift for the Painter

This poem was written on193365438+1October 26th and presented to Japanese painter Wang Cheng. The painter came all the way to look for painting themes. At that time, on the one hand, Lu Xun witnessed the continuous aggression of the Japanese army, while the national government continued to carry out the "encirclement and suppression" of military culture. The sight of China's devastation and scorched earth made him feel sad and angry; On the other hand, he is full of confidence in China's victory in the Anti-Japanese War; I wrote this poem because of this.

2. Appreciation of "Genius Painter"

The first two sentences of this poem outline a gloomy picture: the evil wind blowing under the white sky splashed ink and dark clouds, which covered the vibrant forest, the sky was shrouded in gloomy fog, and all kinds of flowers and plants were destroyed. Here, through concrete images, the social features of old China, such as broken mountains and rivers, miserable people's livelihood, bleak literary world and the killing of revolutionaries, are artistically summarized.

According to the poem, the root cause of this situation is "nothing comes from the wind", that is, the rule of Nanjing National Government. The first and second sentences are nothing more than attacking the anti-* * policy of the National Government, suppressing the revolution and stifling the literary movement. Lu Xun used the word "Bai Xia" with profound meaning and strong emotion, which not only pointed out the place, but also hinted at the rule of the national government, alluding to the gloom and coldness of the "wind"
