Rain Lane is the representative work of Dai Wangshu's modernist poetry creation.
The concrete manifestation is: (1) expressing emotions with symbols. Many images in Rain Lane, such as rain lane, girl and broken wall, are endowed with symbolic meanings. It is a plot-the process of meeting a girl and missing her on a rainy day is also symbolic. The image of poetry has both classical mood and modern flavor.
This poem has musical beauty. The works have beautiful syllables and sonorous rhymes, and each rhyme rhymes two or three times. Use repeated stacking and repetition to strengthen the musicality of the whole poem. This poem is Dai Wangshu's early masterpiece, which embodies Dai Wangshu's early artistic pursuit and the influence of Crescent Poetry Theory. Ye Shengtao once said: "This poem opens a new era for the syllables of new poetry."
(3) The poetic image has the classical beauty of China and the charm of western modernism. The girl image in the poem and the poetic style of "mourning without hurting" are the blood relationship of pure China traditional aesthetics. The decadence of emotion and image has the characteristics of western modernism. In this poem, Dai Wangshu was deeply influenced by French symbolism and China's ancient poems, thus deliberately pursuing the obscurity of poetic images.
