Homesickness? Xi Murong
The song of his hometown is a flute in Qingyuan
It always rings on a moonlit night
The face of his hometown is a vague disappointment
Like a wave of farewell in the fog
After parting
Homesickness is a tree without rings
Never grow old
The song is a native flute quiet and remote
al. nded the night the moon
The face of home is a vague wistful
Waving goodbye as if the fog
After parting
Homesickness is a tree without rings
N Ever to grow old
1. Appreciation of poetry:
The attachment to the homeland can be said to be the same and eternal emotion of human beings. Wanderers, drifters and vagrants who are far away from home hope to return to their roots even in their octogenarian years. ?
Xi Murong summed up this homesickness with a short poem of seven lines and three sections: the first section is about the freshness of the local accent, and the flute "always rings on nights with the moon". Imagine how many nights there is no moonlight all year round, which vaguely means that travelers are always homesick for their hometown. In the second section, I write about the homesickness, and the nostalgia for my hometown is getting farther and farther away. As time goes by, I shake down the outline of my hometown, leaving only a vague disappointment, such as parting in the fog, thick as blood, but separated by a misty cloud. It is vivid and natural to use the wave of parting in the fog to describe the vague and disconsolate impression of hometown, and to describe the abstract subjective feeling with a tangible concrete. The third layer writes about the eternity of homesickness. It is a transition from the lingering local accent and nostalgia on the upper two floors, which is very novel in form. The gradual transfer of levels makes the theme from vague to vivid. The poet used the image metaphor of "never getting old" that a tree without wheels lives forever in the hearts of wanderers to express the deep ocean-like sadness and nostalgia and disappointment.
? The fusion of emotional expression and image choice makes the artistic conception of the whole poem profound and far-reaching. The apt and natural metaphor and the simple and beautiful language make the whole poem have an idyllic mood. ?
2. My hometown's song is a flute in Qingyuan/I always think of it on a moonlit night (Section 1)
These two sentences have reminded me of the timeless famous sentence "lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight, sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home." You can imagine how exciting it is.
The face of my hometown is a vague disappointment/like waving goodbye in the fog (Section 2). I didn't think too much about why the author said that "the face of my hometown is a vague disappointment". Later, I got a clearer understanding after I got a comprehensive understanding of Xi Murong, and I further realized that "vagueness" was due to the long separation time, and it became "disconsolate" for various reasons, so that I could understand the poet's situation. It is very helpful to interpret such a poem.
After parting/homesickness is a tree without rings/Never grow old (Section III)
The last section of the poem condenses "homesickness" on a tree without rings, fully expressing that "homesickness" will never fade away because of people's old age, but will live forever.
