This is a painting lyric poem. At that time, he saw a19th century British aesthete Piazli's black and white line drawing. "The picture shows a snake with its tail coiled on the ground, its body straight, its head tilted, and a flower in its mouth." He thought the snake was "beautiful and naive, just like a girl's dream." "Snake" and "flower" symbolize male and female reproductive organs respectively, thus interpreting this poem as a young man's sexual fantasy during the period of sexual repression. In fact, this painting by Bialai does imply a certain sexual meaning. It should be said that it is reasonable to interpret this poem as sexual repression. But if this poem is regarded as a tortuous achievement of one-off behavior, it seems inevitable to cook a crane and burn a piano. It should be said that the image of "snake" not only contains the obscenity in the western cultural background, but also contains the aesthetic feelings of the East. The spoony, gentle and loyal White Snake is also a snake. The image of "snake" not only contains lust, but also expresses a yearning for ideal love. Another image "flower" can be regarded as female genitalia. After all, everyone has the right to interpret poetry, but don't forget that in the traditional value system, "flower" is often associated with youth, life, enthusiasm and beauty. In this poem, "crimson flowers" can also mean that the poet rediscovered the enthusiasm of youth and the beauty of life under the nourishment of imaginary love. Perhaps the beauty of these two images is that they can be good and evil, literary and artistic, and wild. As the saying goes, "Scholars see Yi, Taoism sees Yin, gifted scholars see lingering, revolutionaries see Paiman, and gossips see the secrets in the palace" (Lu Xun commented on the language of A Dream of Red Mansions). Poetry or other literary works can be called classics because of their infinite interpretation possibilities. Back to this poem, beauty lies in the combination of emptiness and reality, stillness and movement, and dispersion and rhyme. Missing and loneliness are empty things, turning into snakes and flowers, empty feelings into empty homesickness, solid black hair into real grassland, and there is no boundary between fiction and fact. It seems that everything is integrated in the world of love. At the same time, the first and second sections describe a static yearning. In the third quarter, the loneliness transformed into a snake actually invaded the dream, bringing flowers, making it jump like the finishing touch, and making this little poem look like it was clicked. Furthermore, this little poem is a free poem with the characteristics of "scattered". At the same time, Feng Zhi uses ABAB rhyme in each section and changes rhyme in each section, which not only makes this poem look smart and lively, but also makes it dance on the grassland of love if it is put on a gorgeous and neat dress.

2, the original poem:
My loneliness is a long snake,
Silent.
In case you dream about it,
Oh, don't be afraid.
He is my faithful companion,
I am suffering from passionate acacia in my heart;
It wants dense grasslands-
Thick black silk on your head.
As light as the moon shadow.
Walk past you;
It takes away your dreams,
Like a crimson flower.
3. Feng Zhi's other poems: Night in the South
We sat quietly by the lake,
Listen to the swallows tell us about the quiet night in the south.
They brought the quiet night in the south,
The reeds at night evaporated with strong enthusiasm.
I feel the intoxication of the southern night,
Please smell the strong smell in the reeds.
You said that a big bear is always like a white bear in the cold zone.
Looking at it will make you cold all over.
At this time, the swallows skimmed the water gently.
Stars are scattered on the lake-
Please look at the stars in this lake.
The starry sky in the south is such a scene.
You said you suspected the ginkgo tree over there,
It seems that the snow on the tree has never melted.
At this time, the swallow flew to a palm tree.
Sing a warm song-
Please listen to the swallow's song.
This is the scene in the southern forest.
