Wen Yiduo
"Every night, the candle will dry the wick."
-Li Shangyin
Red candle!
Such a red candle!
Poet!
Spit out your heart and compare it,
But what about ordinary colors?
Red candle!
Who made the wax?-for your body.
Who lit the fire-lit the soul?
Why do you have to burn the wax to ashes?
And turn off the lights?
Repeated mistakes;
Contradiction! Conflict!
Red candle!
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong!
It should "light" your light-
This is the natural way.
Red candle!
Once made, it will burn!
Burn it! Burn it!
The dream of burning the world,
The blood of the boiling world-
Save their souls,
Smash their prison!
Red candle!
When your heart is burning,
It was the day when tears began.
Red candle!
The craftsman created you,
It was originally used for burning.
Now it's burning,
Why are you crying?
Oh! I know!
It is the residual wind that invades your light,
When your fever is unstable,
I was so anxious that I cried!
Red candle!
Flow! How can it not flow?
Please put your cream,
Constantly flowing to the world,
Cultivate comfortable flowers,
Form a happy fruit!
Red candle!
You shed a tear and the ash was distracted.
Depression and tears, your achievements,
The reason for creating light for you.
Red candle!
"Mo Wen harvests, but requires farming."
Extended data:
The original meaning of red candle is a burning candle and a symbol of happiness. The Red Candle is a famous modern poetry collection of China. This is Wen Yiduo's first poem. Published on September 7th 1923. The first edition received 62 copies. People's Literature Publishing House, 198 1 edition, 103.
It covers a wide range of topics and is rich in content. It can express the poet's patriotic feelings, criticize the darkness under feudal rule, reflect the suffering of working people and depict the beauty of nature. Ingenious conception, novel imagination and vivid language. Red candle is another name for flamingo.
In the traditional thinking mode of China's poetics, the poet's lyric ambition is usually not an unthinking self-expression, but a concrete image form, which is not a creative creation of the poet, but a historical legacy of China poets for thousands of years. The "Italian style" of these poems fluttered and roared in the long wave of China's poems, which gave passion and inspiration to generations of poets.
Compared with other poets during the May 4th Movement, Wen Yiduo obviously had a deeper friendship with China's traditional poetics and western poetics. At the same time, he never gave up the study of China's classical poetry. The works of Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, are the most interesting sentences Wen Yiduo has ever heard.
Of course, "candle burning" should also be understood with heart. Therefore, Red Candle, as a symbol of China literati's ideal and pursuit, is naturally accepted by modern poet Wen Yiduo.
When he finished the title of his first book of poetry, the source of the title and preface of the poem Red Candle clearly appeared for the first time. This reflects the psychological characteristics of the poet Wen Yiduo in the first stage of his creation: he is not a simple self-expression and self-description (although he appreciates the goddess of self-expression).
The self-expression and self-description in western romantic poetics did not dominate his inner world. The poet's self-description is consciously attached to a certain "mode", and the poet's understanding of this "mode" is carried out at the same time as his own understanding. These creative psychology are obviously related to the art of China's classical poetry. The surface of the consciousness structure of Red Candle is permeated with the fragrance of traditional poetics.
China's classical poems came into being because I developed them into a harmonious and seamless state, such as Li Shangyin's "The Silk Trial". "Candle Burning" did not deliberately emphasize "". "Candle burning" is just an external thing, not to put the poet in a position corresponding to the external thing and tell the poet the state of the external thing casually. Actually telling the poet himself.
