Modern poetry of symbolism
"Rain Lane" Dai Wangshu walked alone in a long, lonely rain lane with an oil-paper umbrella. I hope to meet a girl with a lilac knot. She is lilac-like color, lilac-like fragrance, lilac-like sadness, sadness in the rain, sadness and hesitation; She wandered in the lonely rain lane, holding an oil-paper umbrella, as indifferent, sad and melancholy as I am. She silently approached, approached and took a breath. She floated like a dream, dreamlike, sad and confused. Like a lilac field in a dream, this girl floats by me; She walked away silently, walked away, walked towards the crumbling fence and walked through the rainy path. In the elegy of rain, her color faded, her fragrance dispersed, and even her sighing eyes were lilac-like melancholy. Holding an oil-paper umbrella, a person lingers in a long, long, long, long rain lane, hoping to float past a girl with a clove knot. In this poem, the lilac knot in the rain is used as a symbol of people's sadness. Obviously, Dai Wangshu absorbed the artistic conception and methods of describing sadness from these poems and applied them to form the artistic conception and image of Rain Lane. This kind of absorption and reference is obvious, but can we say that the artistic conception and image of Rain Lane are the expansion and desalination of the modern vernacular version of the old poem "Lilacs are sad in the rain"? I don't think so. When the poet conceived the artistic conception and image of the rain lane, he not only absorbed the juice of his predecessors, but also created his own. First, the ancients used the lilac knot itself as a symbol of sadness in their poems, while Yuxiang imagined a girl who was as sad as lilac. She has the image of lilacs disappearing in an instant, which is different from the old classical poems and other works created by the poet in his early days. She is full of the tone of the old poems and shows more flavor of the new era. "Lilacs in the rain bear sorrow" can arouse people's hope and disillusionment more than "girls who are as sad as lilacs", and this image is a rare creation in the field of expressing the sorrow of the times. Secondly, in ancient poetry, the lilac knot in the rain is based on the real life scene to pin the poet's feelings. The poet added his imagination to his life experience. It is the product of artistic imagination, more beautiful than life. "Rain Lane" Dai Wangshu walked alone in a long, lonely rain lane with an oil-paper umbrella. I hope to meet a girl with a lilac knot. She is lilac-like color, lilac-like fragrance, lilac-like sadness, sadness in the rain, sadness and hesitation; She lingers in this lonely rain lane, holding an oil-paper umbrella like me, walking silently like me, indifferent, sad and melancholy. She approached silently and breathed a sigh of relief. She drifted like a dream, like a sad and confused dream. Like lilacs floating in a dream, this girl drifted by me; She walked away silently, walked away, walked towards the ruined fence and walked through the rainy path. In the elegy of the rain, her color faded, her fragrance dispersed, even her sighing eyes and the melancholy of lilacs. Holding an oil-paper umbrella, a person lingers in a long, long, long, long rain lane, hoping to float past a girl with a clove knot. Appreciation: The poem Rain Lane describes a young man who is addicted to emotional pursuit and often wanders alone in a long rain lane, waiting for a good girl, because the girl's home is at the end of the rain lane. In Rain Lane, the poet created a symbolic lyrical image, a girl with a lilac-like sad heart. This is obviously inspired by some works in ancient poetry. It is a traditional expression in ancient Chinese poetry to use lilac knots, that is, lilac buds, to symbolize people's worries. For example, there is a poem in Li Shangyin's "Gifts for Generations" that says "bananas don't show lilac knots, but they are worried about the spring breeze in the same direction". Li Jing in the Southern Tang Dynasty linked the lilac knot with the melancholy in the rain. He has a song "Huanxisha": the jade hook rolls the real pearl, and the heavy building is locked to reflect the previous spring grievances. The fallen flower in the wind is so haggard, who is its owner? Think long term! The messenger didn't bring news to the pedestrians far away. The lilacs in the rain reminded me of sadness. I looked back at the Three Gorges at dusk and saw the river falling from the sky. In this poem, the lilac knot in the rain is used as a symbol of people's sadness. Obviously, Dai Wangshu absorbed the artistic conception and methods of describing sadness from these poems and applied them to form the artistic conception and image of Rain Lane. As a representative of modernist symbolist poets, Dai Wangshu used symbolism to create a long and lonely rain lane, a lilac-like girl and a lonely traveler, which also conveyed the poet's inner anguish and hesitation and showed us the mental state of intellectuals in that era. Poets with oiled paper umbrellas in their poems, lonely and long rainy alleys, and girls with lilac-like sadness and dreams are not concrete portrayal of real life itself, but lyrical images full of symbolic significance. We may not be able to describe all the contents of these images in detail, but we can appreciate the hazy poetry expressed by these images. The social realistic atmosphere, lonely wandering mood and unattainable hope described in Rain Lane are clear and hazy, certain and erratic in front of readers. Imagination creates symbols, and symbols expand imagination. The result of this symbolic expression of emotion is that the poet's emotional state of mind is more subtle, and it also leaves readers with a broad world of imagination. I felt the fragrance and aftertaste of the poem Rain Lane. Dai Wangshu walked alone in a long, lonely rain lane with an oil-paper umbrella. I hope to meet a girl as sad as lilac. She is lilac-like color, lilac-like fragrance, lilac-like sadness, sadness in the rain, sadness and hesitation; She wandered in the lonely rain lane, holding an oil-paper umbrella, as indifferent, sad and melancholy as I am. She silently approached, approached and took a breath. She floated like a dream, dreamlike, sad and confused.
