Farewell to Cambridge is a lyric poem about scenery. What is it about? Summarized in three sentences: it is a feeling of nostalgia, farewell and sentimentality after disillusionment. It means subjective thoughts and feelings; Context is the objective scenery described in poetry. What is artistic conception? It is the perfect combination of subjective thoughts and feelings of characters and objective scenery, forming a unique artistic picture called artistic conception. Of course, we appreciate Xu Zhimo's poem just like other poems, and we need to mobilize our own life and knowledge accumulation, and then we will talk about this poem one after another.
If we analyze the poem "I left gently, just as I came gently, I waved goodbye to the clouds in the western sky", we can sum it up in a few words: slow rhythm, light movements, lingering affection, and a touch of sadness. Also, I would like to add that as a farewell to the clouds in the western sky, the rosy clouds in the western sky give us the impression that they have laid a gorgeous color for the later description, and the whole scenery is reflected by the sunset. So use this sentence to sum up and set the tone for this poem.
The golden willow by the river is the bride in the sunset, and the gorgeous shadow in the waves ripples in my heart. This poem really describes the beauty of He Kanghe. At the same time, the willow "Liu"-"Liu" in ancient poetry has the meaning of farewell, which left a deep impression on the poet, and how much care was expressed in the form of "rippling in my heart". Of course, his techniques are comparable (personification and imitation), combined with the third sentence: "The grass on the soft mud is oily and swaying at the bottom of the water; In the soft waves of Cambridge, I would like to be a water plant. " This poem highlights the quiet and free realm of Cambridge, and freedom and beauty are what Xu Zhimo pursues. At the same time, it shows a kind of love, and the water grass seems to welcome the arrival of the poet. Thirdly, I don't think it is completely divorced from the artistic conception of China's poems. And China's ancient poems have something in common, that is, the unity of things and me. The second sentence is to change the customer into the main, and the third sentence is to change the main to the customer, so that the two can be integrated and unforgettable. These two poems just illustrate the close relationship between Xu Zhimo and Cambridge. These are the three aspects we talked about earlier: determining the ideal, stepping into the world of poetry, and expressing our feelings in the wonderful scenery. The three are closely linked and express their feelings through concrete images. And we appreciate poetry from images and gradually accept the poet's mind. The fourth section is a turning point. "That pool under the shade of elm trees is not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky, shattered in impetuousness and precipitated a rainbow-like dream." This poem adopts the combination of reality and fiction. "Reality" is the description of scenery, and "emptiness" is the use of symbolic techniques. A pool of water is clear and the glow is reflected. "It's not a clear spring, it's a rainbow in the sky." It's a red light. It's real writing. However, there are many algae floating on the pool water, which block part of the glow and are fragmentary, some red and some green, like soft water, very vivid. This "kneading dough" is well written, and it is also the disillusionment of my dream. So how does this dream make us feel? This reminds me of a poem written by Mr. Wen Yiduo to commemorate the death of his eldest daughter. He used a metaphor "like a summer dream, like a clock in a dream". As we all know, dreams are beautiful, bells are melodious but short-lived, so rainbow-like dreams are beautiful and short-lived. 1927 His dream was shattered, and he was at odds with Lu Xiaoman, so he was depressed.
In the fifth section, since we talked about dreams, did you come to Cambridge and your alma mater this time to find your dreams? "Dream?" Support a long pole, slowly trace back to the greener grass, load a boat of starlight, and sing in the place where the starlight is gorgeous. "This poem is Xu Zhimo's memory and nostalgia for his past life. He lived in Cambridge at leisure for two years. At that time, he had his own ideals, lived a full life and was full of hope for tomorrow. So he used "a boat full of stars" to describe life at that time, which is symbolic.
The best poem, the third one. The past has become history, and it is still a little sad to return to reality, so "silence is to leave other voices, and summer insects are silent for me." Silence is Cambridge tonight. " This poem is the climax of emotion, which fully shows Xu Zhimo's feelings for Cambridge and focuses on the sadness of parting. This poem needs to be understood in connection with other poems, including ancient poems. "Quiet is to leave other voices" is a metaphor. For example, the description in Su Shi's Poems on Qianchibi is sad and the flute is joyful, so Xiao is used as a metaphor to illustrate the poet's mood. Therefore, the action of "silence" has the feelings of a poet, and then "summer insects are silent for me, and silence is Cambridge tonight." Poetry pays attention to conciseness. Why do you repeat "silence", "quietness" and "gentleness" over and over again? This is not a waste of language, but precisely his point of view.
