First, poetic style.
Poetic style: Before liberation, Ai Qing cursed the darkness and eulogized the light with deep, intense and unrestrained brushwork; After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he continued to praise the people, praise the light and think about life. His "Return" songs are more extensive in content, deeper in thought, deeper in emotion, more diverse in techniques and more sophisticated in art.
Poems published after the founding of the People's Republic of China include: Cheers, Gem Red Star, Cape, Spring, Song of Returning, Colored Poems, Exotic Poems, Snow Lotus, Selected Poems of Ai Qing, etc. Ai Qing became an outstanding person with his singing style full of artistic individuality, and practiced his poetic aesthetic proposition of "simplicity, simplicity, concentration and liveliness".
Second, the classic quotations
1. Why do I often cry? Because I love this land deeply.
People don't like lies, no matter how pretentious or grandiose they are, they won't impress people. Everyone has a measure of language in his heart.
3. Personal pain and happiness must be integrated into the pain and happiness of the times.
There is no eternal night in the world and there is no eternal winter in the world.
5. Because the earth that we once died has been resurrected under the clear sky! -suffering has also become a memory. In its warm chest, it will be the blood of the combatants.
6. A tree, a tree, is independent of each other, and the wind and air tell their distance. But under the cover of soil, their roots were elongated, and in the invisible depths, they entangled their roots.
Third, the image of Ai Qing's poems
Ai Qing's poems have rich cultural connotations of the times, which are worthy of our careful appreciation. The central images in Ai Qing's poems are: the earth and the sun.
The image of "land" embodies the poet's deepest love for the motherland-mother earth; Patriotism is an inexhaustible theme in Ai Qing's works.
The poet always pays attention to the fate of ordinary farmers who are integrated with the land in China. He wrote about the pain of "land farmers" being ravaged; "Snow has fallen on the land of China, and the cold is blocking China", and even wrote "The Heat Swimming in the Heart of the Earth" and "The Land-the Resurrection of Farmers": "The land we once died has been revived under clear skies"; Wrote the turning over and liberation of "land farmers". This is a description of the pain, resurrection and liberation of the land, which really writes the soul of rural reality in China.
The image of "the sun" shows the other side of the poet's soul: passionate and endless pursuit of light, ideal and a better life. For decades, poets have been singing enthusiastically: sun, light, spring, dawn, life and flame. This is Ai Qing's "eternal theme".
