Appreciation of Ai Qing's Selected Poems

1, "I love this land"

"I love this land.

If I were a bird,

I should also sing with a hoarse throat:

This land hit by the storm,

This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,

This endless wind,

And the gentle dawn from the forest ...

-Then I died.

Even feathers rot in the ground.

Why do I often cry?

Because I love this land deeply ... "

Appreciation: The poet did not shout out the slogan of love, nor did he directly express his feelings. Instead, the lyric hero is turned into a bird by symbolic means, and all his feelings are concentrated in the singing of the hoarse throat of the bird. "Singing" is not soft and ethereal, but extremely dignified and deep. Because the land hit by the storm in the motherland is being ravaged and facing destruction. Finally, through the death of a bird, the poet's sincere heart is reflected, and his poetry is sublimated to the highest point, and he will be integrated with the land of the motherland after his death.

2. "Rock"

"A wave, a wave.

Come to me endlessly

Every wave is at its feet.

Beaten to pieces and scattered. ...

Its face and body.

Like a knife.

But it's still standing there

Smile and look at the sea ... "

Appreciation: From an artistic point of view, in the poem "Reef", the poet integrates his unique thinking about life into the symbolic image of "Reef" to personalize the reef, so he should be detached from things and think more deeply when reading. Indeed, the use of symbolism makes this poem memorable! Live with a smile, no matter how many difficulties and setbacks you encounter, whether it is a person or a nation. This is the most profound revelation from the reef.
