Formally, Farewell to Cambridge is a representative poem that embodies and develops the characteristics of "three beauties" advocated by Wen Yiduo.
First, the beauty of painting.
The so-called beauty of painting refers to appealing to visual images. It can fully reflect the colorful features of Chinese hieroglyphs, and is full of color sense.
In the use of the poem Farewell to Cambridge, attention is paid to the color sense of words, and many words with bright colors are selected, such as "Golden Willow" reflected in the sunset, "Yanying" rippling in the waves, "Green Jade" on the soft mud at the bottom of the water, "Rainbow" reflected in the pool, and so on. He has created a series of vivid artistic conception. The poem consists of seven sections, almost each of which contains a picture that can be drawn, giving readers a visual color imagination and an oil painting-like feeling.
At the same time, the poet uses a series of words with strong actions, such as "waving", "swaying", "smashing", "wandering back" and "waving". The golden willows on the riverside are swaying in the Kanghe River, and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the Kanghe River are swaying, which seems to have something to say to the poet ... giving people a three-dimensional feeling.
In this way, the whole poem has a clear artistic conception and a beautiful flowing picture. The bright color and beautiful composition make people pleasing to the eye and intoxicated. It seems that I also want to enter the realm of poetic beauty with the poet.
Second, the beauty of music.
The so-called beauty of music means that the syllables of poetry are catchy, patchwork and have the beauty of syllables and melodies that appeal to auditory images.
As a representative of Crescent Society, Xu Zhimo very much agrees with Wen Yiduo's "three" about new poetry. He has his own originality. In addition to his regular rhythm and harmonious rhyme, he also emphasizes the fluctuation of syllables and pays attention to the complete musical melody.
A Farewell to Cambridge has a harmonious rhythm, which is smooth and slightly bouncing. The beauty of music mainly comes from the rhythm, which is formed by the regular repetition of sound groups. Each line of A Farewell to Cambridge basically consists of three sound groups, one of which is a sound. Tone loops are repeated, which is rigorous and eclectic, with a strong sense of rhythm and flexible changes in poetic flow, forming a complete piece of music.
The rhyme of this poem is natural and harmonious, with two or four rhymes strictly observed in rhyme form, with one rhyme for every two lines and a new rhyme for each verse. Niang, hey; Shake, grass; Rainbow, dream; Back, song; Xiao, bridge; Come, Cai) pursues the fluctuation of syllables and a sense of melody, which makes it catchy to read. Seven verses are arranged in a staggered way, and the rhythm is slowly spread in them, resulting in the artistic realm of musical beauty. < P > In addition, the repetition of tones is also an important aspect of the poem's musical beauty. The beginning and end of the poem are overlapped and repeated, with similar semantics and the same rhythm. It strengthens the sense of rhythm and melody of the poem, enhances the musicality of the poem, and gives people a dreamy feeling. In addition, the repeated use of overlapping words such as "light" and "quiet" also enhances the light rhythm of the poem. < P > Third, the beauty of architecture. < P > "The beauty of architecture" also belongs to the visual image, which mainly refers to the physical structure of the poem and emphasizes "festival" Cause regular uniformity or unevenness.
Farewell to Cambridge is even and varied in terms of section, composition and syntax. The whole poem has seven sections, each with four lines, and the number of words in each sentence is basically 6 or 7 words (with eight-character sentences in between), which is neat in uneven changes; Single-line and double-line are staggered by one grid and arranged in a regular uneven level sequence, which keeps the balance, symmetry and diversity of the poetic form, but avoids the shortcomings of rigidity and monotony caused by the too square poetic form, giving people a fresh feeling; At the same time, the echo from beginning to end gives people a sense of beauty.
It can be said that the architectural beauty with neat and consistent lines, the colorful painting beauty, and the musical beauty with harmonious rhythm and repeated tones make Farewell to Cambridge a poem that can best show the talent and personality of the poet Xu Zhimo, and it is precisely because of this that Farewell to Cambridge has become the best farewell poem in China in the 2th century.
