Refer to relevant materials and other people's opinions. I really want to explore the meaning of these actions from my own point of view. In the interpretation of poetry, I am lazy or tired of reading relevant materials and other people's opinions. I just hope that through my rigorous and in-depth thinking, I can get a fresh and novel feeling about the text, thus stimulating my creativity. The first mention of Yi Bin's "The Story of Mu Dan" is because the narrator is looking for information about his late uncle Mu Dan, which is also the traditional appreciation method of "knowing people and discussing the world". This will help us to know this uncle better, grasp the unique emotional relationship between Mu Dan and his uncle, and thus open or deepen our understanding of the contents of the poem, even though this action failed. As long as you read through Mu Dan's biography and look for it in chronological order, it is not difficult. The other is referring to Zhao Yiheng's point of view. Zhao Yiheng's emphasis on the magic of "balance has turned me into a tree" and the uniqueness in China's new poems is subjective, but it can also help the interpreter put forward his own views and strengthen the rationality of his own views and arguments. I think this is also extremely important, so that what you think is not fantasy, fantasy or fantasy, and it should be strengthened in some aspects. I didn't pay attention to this before, but it will be more rigorous in the future!
Dig deep into the connotation of important poems. What's important? In this poem, two poems are "difficult to understand" compared with other poems, but once understood, we will have a leap understanding of the connotation of the poem: one is "balance has turned me into a tree" and the other is "juice rising from the dark roots".
Why is it so hard to understand? Why can we have a leap-forward understanding?
"Balance has turned me into a tree", and the core here lies in the word "balance". What kind of balance is this "balance"? Why is there such a "balance" Why does this "balance" have such an effect (turning me into a tree)? The answers to these three questions are related to the understanding of this poem. It turns out that this balance is a "struggling balance", not a static balance, but a balance produced by antagonistic tearing at a new latitude. This balance is like a hydrogen bomb that has been exploding in the sun. From this, I can imagine how extraordinary my life will be in this state! Strong balance makes life extremely rich, profound and self-sufficient. As Fan Meizhong said, this is a tree "stick to yourself"!
Then there is the word "dark root". We can see at a glance that this is a very vague and ethereal word, which is full of explainability. There's a chance. Interpreters have also grasped this point deeply, which makes reading full of individual subjectivity (undoubtedly, the explanation of "dark root" here is obviously "Fan Meizhong color"). ), reading has completely become a kind of creation at this moment: the self has created rich meanings in the process of deeply participating in understanding the text, and what Fan Lao said "creativity overcomes nothingness" is by no means illusory. This has strengthened my confidence in "interpretation".
The root of darkness comes from the dark underground, and the earth enhances its strength and unknowability. This also stipulates that the understanding of this image must not be sloppy. The reader understands it from three aspects: aesthetic significance, personal temperament and value standpoint. "Aesthetic significance" is to examine and evaluate the works in a macro literary context, which transcends the specific works and has the significance of robbing their "impression". "Personal temperament" is an important factor that determines the occurrence of poetry, and it is the poetic feature of "I". "Value standpoint" is the particularity of this poem, which is suitable for the theme choice of a specific totalitarian era. It seems that the path of literary appreciation can also be summarized as follows: general literary significance, specific poetic characteristics and its connotation under the fundamental and special background of the times. As for how to use these methods satisfactorily, efforts are needed.
However, this is not over yet. The "juice" born in the "dark root" finally "whirled in the bright leaves". "Vortex" not only means an endless life form, but also implies ethereal and unique poetry. I'm afraid that the power of mellow circulation born from this is not only the persistence of life, but also the understanding of the "proper meaning" of life.
