A wonderful poem.

1. The most representative image in the poem is water, which is as clear as a mirror and contains everything on the water: "Golden willow by the river" has become a "wave of beauty", which ripples in the poet's mind as well as in the reader's mind. The pool under the shade of elm is a "rainbow-like dream". Only quiet inside can write such a clear and wonderful sentence; This water is like spring breeze. Without the affectionate touch of water, how can the "green grass on the soft mud" sway under the water? Because of the affectionate comfort of this water, the poet "is willing to be a water plant"! The poet's feelings for Cambridge are as clear as water!

Second, throughout the ages, the separation of literati is fascinating, but Xu Zhimo carries a heavy heart with the help of relaxed language. So at the beginning of the poem, this feeling is as ethereal as a cloud in the sky. Clouds have the characteristics of gently fluttering and slow speed, which are unpredictable and real; It's far away and close at hand. This is the second image carefully selected by the author. Cloud fully embodies the poet's elegant artistic conception of parting. "I walked quietly, just as I came gently; I waved my hand gently and bid farewell to the clouds in the western world. " The beautiful melody expresses the poet's free and easy manner like colorful clouds flying.

Thirdly, the choice of the image of Jin Liu reflects the author's deep feelings for Cambridge. Willow is a traditional image in China's poems, and poets in past dynasties loved it because it is homophonic "to stay", that is, to retain people who have left; The second is to stick a branch into the soil, which means it can thrive. However, Xu Zhimo expanded his image and activated it as a "bride": "The golden willow by the river is the bride in the sunset; Beautiful shadows in the waves ripple in my heart. " Comparing the willow tree in the sunset to the bride vividly depicts the graceful posture of the willow tree in the sunset and also depicts the poet's strong and gentle love for Cambridge. The bride is the best moment in a girl's life, which shows that Cambridge has a place in Xu Zhimo's heart. In ancient China, there was a custom of breaking willows to bid farewell, such as "Who can't stand the homesickness?" It is not only the reappearance of sweet love, but also the nostalgia for past love. The author's return to Cambridge should be said to be mixed. Happily, he can find dreams in Cambridge, dreams of youth, ideals and love, "hold a long pole", "dream" in He Kanghe, find a boat full of stars and "sing in the splendor of stars". What a way!

In a word, the choice of images in this poem is worthy of every reader's careful taste. This profound image is formed by the poet's thinking, which not only deeply touched the poet, but also amazed the readers.
