How did Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang create successful works in the form of narrative lyrics?

Narration should not only create characters, but also have vivid stories. But after all, it is poetry, and poetry cannot be separated from lyricism. If a poet can't express his feelings through narration, then no matter how good the story is, it is better to write novels or other genres. Before Li Ji, some writers in the Liberated Areas wrote narrative poems, but the lack of poetry often limited the appeal of the poems. Poetry is not water vapor floating in midair, but must be attached to the image of poetry. Li Ji skillfully used the folk lyric "Pilgrim's Progress" to narrate in the form of lyric poetry, and he obtained the poetic image accumulated by the working people for a long time, which was the key to his success. In this sense, it can also be said that "Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang" was re-created by Li Ji who concentrated the artistic wisdom of the people. He wrote about the sincere love between Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang: the pots and pans are lit half bright and half dark, and a small handleless wine cup is not too poor for my younger brother. The poverty in Wang Gui is manifested incisively and vividly because of the lighting of a hookah and the measurement of a small wine cup. Only in this way can Li Can's love for Xiangxiang become more obvious. What is depicted here is a concrete image and expresses deep feelings. "Xintianyou" is characterized by the extensive use of Bi Xing, and the combination of two sentences is beneficial to the use of Bi Xing. Often a poem is the layout of various metaphors from beginning to end, which is extremely vivid and concrete. And those descriptions and metaphors are mostly obtained by the people from their own working life and their understanding of the beauty of nature, so they are not only rich, but also often very fresh and delicate. In Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang, Wang Gui wrote: Winter snow is good for winter wheat, and Wang Gui is like a wheat seedling.

Because it is "Xin Wei", it is not only young, but also a little immature. Moreover, under the heavy snow and cold pressure, it is very accurate to compare with Wang Gui. However, after the oppression of this snow, it tempered and moistened the wheat seedlings, and it will surely grow sturdily tomorrow. Another example is to describe the beauty of Li Xiangxiang: a pair of big eyes are watery, just like dew dripping on the grass.

Without observing and feeling the crystal dew on the grass, it is impossible to produce such a wonderful poem. That is, Mr. Cui claimed that he couldn't escape from the palm of his hand, and also cited metaphors such as "the well rope was broken and the bucket fell into the well", "the sieve surface in the copper basket fell into the box" and "the smoke beam in the chimney was dusted". All of these, of course, are due to the study of Xintianyou. With these vivid poems, the lines are full of feelings and sounds. Whether it is the deep affection between writing and expressing people's resentment and hatred towards Mr. Cui, it can be full of vigor and deep affection.

The form of "believing in heaven" is consistent with that of Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang. Such a poem: the sand is bright and high, the sand is low, and you can't see where your loved ones are. Yang Wali Su went back to Wali Valley, where I thought of you, I cried. The natural scene it shows provides a favorable lyrical environment for the characters. The vivid local scenery and the rich emotional appeal of the Loess Plateau are completely integrated with the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist in the poem in a specific environment, which greatly enhances the expressive force of the poem. However, the form of "believing in heaven", with its inherent poetic image, has also caused great limitations because of its distinctive local characteristics.
