Appreciation of the work
Because beauty and time are fighting a losing war, the poet tearfully "had to admit that | Youth is a book that is too hasty." However, there is still a lot that we need to summarize well. Especially the love of our youth, isn’t it an endless wealth that we can enjoy throughout our lives? With this wealth, the God of Poetry will always favor us. No matter we are 40 or 60 years old, or even if we have to die in the end, we can still say: I have had a youth without complaint.
Youth is a long poem, one of the poems in the selector here is also a famous one.
Reminiscing about youth is human nature, and there have always been many poems with this theme. Xi Murong's "Youth" is a unique and witty piece.
"All the endings have been written" - the ending of life is almost over, and the prospects will not change much; "all the tears have already started" - the tears that need to be shed have been shed After shedding, I have tasted the taste of life, and I will not encounter any joys and sorrows that I hope I have never encountered before.
Youth has passed, it has become a memory today. The poem focuses the vast memories on that "summer", which is an exquisite choice. Because summer is the hottest, and the hot summer in the fiery youth is naturally the most unforgettable. But it has "never come back" and is far, far away from the present.
The "you" in the second stanza does not refer to the second person, but to the "I" in youth. "You are just like a cloud shadow passing by" - the years of youth are very short-lived; "your smiling face is very light and pale" - "I" did not fully enjoy the joy of youth at that time, "you" has "gradually disappeared after the sunset" "Qunlan" disappeared in confusion, and the youthful era ended like this! The lines of poetry are filled with lingering regret.
The melancholy and regret condensed into a fresh image - youth is "a hasty book" that is "extremely poorly bound". Because it was too hasty, it was "extremely poorly bound"; and "too hasty" is a response to the above description of "like a cloud shadow passing by". The title page has turned "yellow", indicating that the book is "old", but "I" still "read it again and again with tears in my eyes", reluctant to put it away, which vividly expresses my infinite attachment to youth.
Image comes from life, from emotion, and from conception. Xi Murong is the first person in the poetry world to use books as a metaphor for youth. It can be said that "everyone has what they have in their hearts, but what everyone has in their writings". The former means that poems can easily arouse the excitement of many people; the latter means that poems are written with characteristics and are willing to be accepted by people. This poem is the unity of uniqueness in content and individuality in expression techniques, and uses a unique way to express people's most common feelings - nostalgia for youth.
