A Brief Analysis of Li Jinfa's Thoughts in Abandoning a Wife

Abandoned Wife is included in Xiao Yu, the first book of poetry by writer Li Jinfa. Li Jinfa is regarded as the "first person", "new force" and "strange poet" who introduced French symbolism into China's poetry. Li Jinfa 19 19 studied in France and studied sculpture in Paris. 1920 began to write new poems. His creation was obviously influenced by French poets Baudelaire and Wei Erlun. When Li Jinfa was in Paris, French symbolism was in full swing. Li Jinfa himself once said that he was initially influenced by Baudelaire and Wei Erlun, and his works had a "trend". Abandoned Wife shows Li Jinfa's world-weary mood: "Before my long hair covers my eyes, I cut off all shameful and evil diseases." "A grass walks around the empty valley with the spirit of God,/My sadness can only be printed in the brains of bees", which is the metaphysics and divinity symbolized by Li Jinfa's poems. Different from other symbols, Li Jinfa's poems often symbolize metaphysical things, mysterious and spiritual things, which are determined by symbolism's understanding of the world. In addition, it also shows the novelty of imagination in poetry, which is completely different from romantic imagination. "The worry of abandoning your wife is piled up in action,/the fire of the sunset can't turn the boredom of time into ashes and fly away from the smoke." These three-line poems are very expressive, and a few strokes depict a sad and depressing atmosphere. The poem "Abandoned Wife" mainly describes three images of mosquitoes, bees and sunset, which are used to express the innocence, sadness and boredom of abandoned wife. The image of abandoned wife also symbolizes the poet's own social oppression and world-weary mentality. As a symbolic poem, Abandoned Wife has completely different characteristics from other poems. "The shabby skirt is wailing,/wandering at the edge of the tomb,/without tears, dripping on the grass to decorate the world." The direction implied in poetry is inner life, which is understood by symbolism philosophy and is very different from the usual poetic hints. The creation of Abandoned Wife is deeply influenced by aestheticism. At that time, Li Jinfa thought that art ignored morality and was a world different from society. Therefore, his beautiful world is created by art, not by society. His thoughts are decadent and magical, and his behavior is world-weary and far-fetched. Li Jinfa once said in the preface to the collection of poems "Slight Rain": "Since China's literary innovation, the poetry world has been lawless, and many people are dissatisfied with the genre of the whole poem, but it doesn't matter, beauty can express everything." This poem uses the innovation of "the grammar of poetry", that is, the innovation of the connection between images, which is often considered not smooth. This makes the readers of traditional poetry uncomfortable and puzzling to read. In fact, this is the author's artistic innovation, which is the biggest feature of symbolism poetry after it was introduced into China.
