This work describes what I saw and felt in the backyard and outdoors on an autumn night, embodies feelings in the scenery, personifies nature, and creates a group of symbolic images with profound meanings, such as the sky, jujube trees, small pink flowers and small caterpillars. These images have distinct characteristics: the sky is strange and high, squinting coldly, sprinkling countless frost on the wild flowers and plants in the garden; Little pink flowers tremble under the attack of night wind, dreaming of spring and having hope for the future; Jujube trees, on the other hand, have experienced vicissitudes of life and are well aware of the laws of seasonal changes, so they are not tempted and stab the sky with straight and long branches, intending to sentence it to death; The little caterpillar gave his life to put out the fire, and is known as the "green and exquisite hero" ... Through these images, the works convey hatred and anger towards the dark and tyrannical ruling forces, sympathy for the oppressed and the devastated, and praise for the young people who pursue light. In particular, the image of jujube shows tenacious fighting spirit, which is not only the author's affirmation of such soldiers, but also a portrayal of their personality and spirit. The works are mixed with scenes and full of poetry. The use of symbolism makes the work have the characteristics of deep realm and far-reaching significance.
Briefly describe the background of Autumn Night.
Autumn Night, selected from Lu Xun's prose poetry collection Weeds, was written in the depressed and hesitant period after the ebb tide of the May 4th Movement. In Lu Xun's active struggle under the spirit of the May 4th New Culture, pain and hesitation are inevitable. He brewed Weeds with the anguish brought by seeking and the hesitation brought by fighting. Weeds is "a miserable white flower on the edge of a barren hell", which proves that life still exists in the dark ages ruled by feudal warlords. This tenacious flower of life is not to whitewash the world of quotations, but to "mess up the darkness". As an open weed, Autumn Night shows the spiritual character of flower of life's tenacious opening to the edge of hell.
The symbolic significance of "jujube tree" image in autumn night is briefly described.
The image of jujube tree is the counterpart of the author's mind, which embodies the character of a warrior in the spiritual world. Hostile to the night sky of jujube trees, its power destroys all life, and it is necessary to make autumn night a cold world with poor life. The world is full of timid life, but Jujube is a lonely warrior who dares to fight against the night sky. He is not afraid of the authority of the Creator, although "all the leaves are gone, only qianzi is left", he still goes all out to attack the darkness. Jujube trees have withstood the historical wind, frost, rain and snow, and have a very sober realistic spirit.
He calmly realized that "after spring or autumn", as long as the dark creator exists for one day, spring will not last long. His profound understanding of history endowed him with an unusually tenacious fighting spirit. The continuous fighting of jujube disturbs all the guardians of the existing order, making the lifeless hell finally change on the autumn night blocked by countless frost. In a word, the image of jujube tree not only symbolizes a tenacious warrior, but also shows a tenacious fighting spirit, thus reflecting the author's self-thought and character.
