Xu Zhimo's poem "Accidental" was written in May 1926, and was first published in the supplement of the Morning Post on May 27th of the same year. The ninth issue of "Stone Carving Edition" was signed by Zhimo.
The poet used a variety of images to integrate his life course into it, which shows that the poet has experienced too many accidents in his life. Visualizing the accident is not only interesting, but also leaves enough imagination for readers.
Countless accidents, countless bumps and countless encounters all seem so ordinary, so there is no need to be surprised, let alone happy. Remember, you forget the attitude that constitutes a poet. His combination with Zhang Youyi was accidental, his love affair with Lin was accidental, and the storm with Lu Xiaoman was also accidental. It was accidental that he studied finance, fell in love with Cambridge, and the plane crash was even more accidental. These accidents are like a threaded bead.
The poem begins with the metaphor of "I am a cloud in the sky", which shows that the poet is wandering around the world but noble and kind, which directly means that he paved the way for the following. He suddenly changed his mind and "occasionally projected on your heart", giving people a soothing momentum but intriguing. The accidental meeting of two people is like the meeting of clouds and water, but it is illusory. A short encounter can make it better in distance, but it is still a flash in the pan. In particular, the word "heart" of "wave heart" is used properly, indicating that no matter how much investment and fate are in time, it may be just an accident.
Although life is full of accidents, we can't stop waiting, only the pursuit of eternity. Just because this meeting was just an accident, it went on to explain the attitude that the other party should hold: you don't have to be surprised or happy. This is a common thing in life, full of philosophy of life, and there is nothing to miss. At the same time, it also shows the poet's frankness, which is only a trace that disappears in an instant. ?
Throughout the poem, it is not difficult to understand the two scenes described in it. Vivid language, perfect form and ups and downs of the plot give people endless imagination. The two verses before and after the poem correspond, catchy and intriguing to read. On the surface, this is a love poem. It will be more interesting if you read it carefully. It gives people a feeling that the more you read, the more interesting it becomes. It contains profound philosophy and understanding of life, and there are many classic works.
Chen Ye, a poet of Crescent School, said: "A few poems, such as Accidental, opened the gap between his first two issues. He erased his previous anger and wrote the secret of that delicate soul in neat, soft and refreshing poems. " At the same time, familiar images are interspersed in the whole poem, which blends the two protagonists in the poem into the artistic conception, just like a drama, giving people a fresh and natural feeling.
Poets use two or two pairs of things to make them contradictory, which can be described as a clever writing technique of combining static and dynamic. Accidental meeting or never coming again, but whether we should know how to cherish the good times better, with the changes of the poet's feelings, all show the beauty of harmony. With our understanding of new things, our feelings will gradually deepen, because people always advance in the practice of constant understanding.
Looking up at the starry sky, the sky is still the original sky, but because our fate is not entirely in our own hands, we always encounter more or less accidents in full of setbacks. Since it is accidental, we should recognize the final result, make clear whether our environment is the clouds in the sky or the sea at night, and make suggestions for ourselves without hurting each other. While exhorting each other, we should also see our own direction. Why not forget it when you can't get it? We will meet again after all. ?
