Poetry appreciation

In Cambridge, Xu Zhimo combined "love, beauty and freedom" to form his own life ideal; It was also in Cambridge that Xu Zhimo began to write poems. Judging from the background of Xu Zhimo's poems, he is a poet deeply influenced by English romanticism and aestheticism. Although I have been exposed to symbolism poetry and futurism poetry, these poems have not yet reached the point where they can affect Xu Zhimo's thinking mode and artistic pursuit of poetry. Xu Zhimo's poetry creation is obviously different in ideological tendency in the early and late stages. Early poetry was mainly devoted to the pursuit of ideals, praising love and nature, and objectively had anti-feudal ideological significance. In the later period, Xu Zhimo tried to avoid reality, such as "Friend, what's the use of you in such a hurry?" Let's have some wine and have fun. "It's so cold under the locust tree" in "Trouble". In the later love poems, it is also obviously different from the previous ones, showing the indulgence, such as late at night, don't twist me, it hurts. In a sense, these poems can be understood as a manifestation of the spiritual crisis of the poet Xu Zhimo in this period. He struggled in the great contrast between reality and ideal, trying to find or wait for a "real resurrection opportunity." Judging from the poems published by 1930, such as Wild Goose and Orioles, Xu Zhimo has gradually freed himself from sadness and despair, and some new factors are sprouting in his thoughts.
