Four Rhymes of Homesickness (Tayu Lo Edition) —— Li Jianfu/Yin Junji
Word: Yu Guangzhong
Song: Yang Xian/Tayu Lo
Give me a spoonful of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water.
Yangtze River water is like wine.
The taste of drunkenness is the taste of homesickness.
Give me a spoonful of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water.
Give me a hand of begonia red, begonia red
Blood-like begonia red
The burning pain of boiling blood is the burning pain of homesickness.
Give me a hand of begonia red, begonia red
Give me a piece of snow, snow
This letter is as white as snow.
Waiting for that letter is waiting for homesickness.
Give me a piece of snow, snow
Give me a sweet wintersweet.
Mother's sweet wintersweet.
Mother's fragrance is the fragrance of the country.
Give me a sweet wintersweet.
Song appreciation
The full text adopts the lyric way of direct expression. As a famous poet who was born in the mainland and became famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan, affection, nostalgia and patriotism became the main direction of his poetry creation. Yan Canglang once said: "Poetry has different materials and has nothing to do with reason; Poetry has other interests, not books. "
The poet chose "Yangtze River Water" as the first image, which has profound implications. The second chapter, the nature of association, is closely linked. What the poet wants is a piece of "begonia red", not "begonia red as blood". The first chapter is the development of images. Chapter three, the harmony of sound, singing and sighing. The poet chose the image of "Snow White" with national characteristics.
It is a poet's reflection and a new pursuit. The fourth chapter, unreasonable and wonderful, is full of other interests. The image chosen by the poet is "wintersweet". When you passed my window, did the plum blossom bloom its first cold flower? ? Is to create bright colors. In the whole poem, the poet's passionate homesickness and patriotism are like a red line, which organically organizes four groups of images with national characteristics: Yangtze River water, begonia red, snowflake white and wintersweet incense.
