Appreciation of fish fossils in Ai Qing's poems

"Fish Fossil" tells a short story in refined language, telling the "philosophy of struggle for survival".

At the beginning of the poem, the words "lively", "vigorous", "jumping" and "ups and downs" vividly describe the vitality of fish and give people a vivid picture.

The second paragraph is about the cessation of fish life. The poet replaced death with "lost freedom". Losing freedom is passive, and death gives people a relatively active feeling. It can be seen that fish are killed by volcanoes and earthquakes, leaving a regret that energy cannot be used cleanly.

At the beginning of the third paragraph, I wrote "How many hundred million years have passed". The short story "Fish Fossil" spans so much time, I feel that the poet is not going to write a simple short story, it seems to have an eternal trend. In addition, the fish fossils found are lifelike, indicating that the fish died in the process of exerting force.

In the fourth paragraph, the poet's feelings have undergone a subtle change and he is sad about the loss of life of the fish. The word "intact" means that the fish died intact. A complete body can't move, that is to say, a dead man is just a pile of bones, even if his clothes are gorgeous and his ornaments are perfect, he has no vitality.

In the fifth paragraph, "sky", "water" and "spray" are all beautiful things from the outside. Fossil fish can neither hear nor see, just like the dead, they can no longer enjoy life.

In the sixth paragraph, the poet reveals the superficial philosophy of the story of fish fossils-no movement, no life.

In the seventh paragraph, the poet named the writing theme-to live is to fight. It is more profound than "no exercise, no life".

Generally speaking, the whole poem has three beauties. First, fish fossils are used as carriers. Poets write about fish fossils rather than other animals, because fish is the most representative. The living environment of fish is the sea, with ups and downs. Fish have been fighting the sea with their tiny bodies all their lives. This spirit of struggle is most in line with the theme of the poem, so it is more appropriate to choose fish fossils than others.

Second, pay attention to words. As can be seen from the analysis of "losing freedom" and "lifelike", fish died passively.

It highlights the spirit of "living is clean energy".

Third, the combination of narrative and reasoning. For example, "unfortunately, a volcanic eruption may also be an earthquake." On the surface, it seems that fish have become fossils, but after reading the complete poem, we can realize that there will be natural and man-made disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in our lives, which are likely to take people's lives. This shows that a short life may become shorter due to accidents, and it is necessary to work hard to live.

Good stories, good writing and good reasons make up a good poem.
