Zhu Ziqing's "Hurry"

Invisible and intangible time has passed away from people mercilessly and hurriedly. With his rich imagination, Zhu Ziqing vividly captured the trace of the passage of time. At the beginning of the article, the author depicts the picture of swallows gone, willows withered and green, and peach blossoms withered, rendering the rise and fall of natural objects and the change of time sequence, suggesting the traces of time passing. From this, the author reminds himself that more than 8,000 days in 24 years have disappeared like "a drop of water in the sea", "I can't help but shed tears". The author further describes in detail the moments of eating, washing hands, sleeping and even sighing in daily life. Time flies, and his past days disappear like "smoke" blown away by the breeze and "fog" evaporated by Chuyang. The author deeply feels that since he "came to this world", he can't "walk this time for nothing" and reveal the theme in an orderly way. Undoubtedly, Zhu Ziqing's thought of cherishing the inch of gold coincides with the ancient poem "Young people don't work hard, but old people are sad" and the motto "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of money can't buy an inch of time". And Zhu Ziqing's description of places that people ignore will surprise you even in ordinary life (Shan Ye Collection).

It is worth noting that in the quiet flow of time, in a short space of only more than 600 words, Zhu Ziqing used a variety of rhetorical devices to completely show his inner world and let readers clearly grasp the context of his thoughts. At the beginning of the article, the author uses three parallel sentences to describe the spring scenery, that is, the swallows come again, the willows are greener, and the peach blossoms bloom again, in contrast to "the days are gone forever", which reminds people of the passage of time, causes thinking, points out problems, and puts forward the question of whether time is "stolen" or "escaped by itself" with lyrical rhetoric sentences, deeply feeling that time waits for no one. Then, in the second and third paragraphs, after the previous question, another question was raised. The author compares the flow of time in his past life to a drop of water, compares the "flow of time" of nature to the sea, and compares smallness to vastness, expressing his feelings of hurting and cherishing time. In the rush of time, personification gives life to the sun, a symbol of time, saying that the sun moves quietly around it, crosses smartly and flies lightly, which makes it feel at a loss and uneasy. He took advantage of the rush of the sun full of feelings, entrusted his surging feelings and deepened the theme. Finally, in the fourth paragraph, the author traces back the "gossamer trace" of his past life by asking questions, showing his serious thinking about the value of life and his persistent pursuit of life, and asks, "Why are our days gone forever?" Repeatedly echoing the beginning, showing anxiety. On the one hand, the author gives full play to his wonderful imagination, on the other hand, he makes full use of various rhetorical methods, especially the eleven questions that run through the whole article as clues to emotional development, expresses infinite thoughts through limited images, and uses ingenious ideas to make the feelings that have been "majestic and lingering in his heart" extremely "layered and tortuous" (short poems and long poems)
