Appreciation: Waiting for You in the Rain is a masterpiece of Yu Guangzhong's love poems. The poem is called Waiting for You, but the whole poem does not mention the anxiety and helplessness of waiting for you, but writes the illusion and beauty of waiting for you in an ingenious way. Dusk is approaching, drizzle is raining, rainbows are flying, red-violet is like fire, and cicadas sink and frogs rise. It is precisely because "you" is deeply buried in "I" that the sad dusk looks picturesque. "I" can't help mumbling: "It doesn't matter whether you come or not, but I feel that every lotus is like you". Lotus symbolizes beauty and sacredness. The lotus in the poem is not only a concrete object, but also a synthesis of beauty and ideal. Therefore, the poet arranged the date place at the edge of the lotus pond at dusk. Just like the stunt scenes in the movie, the waiting beauty shows red lotus, and the "Mulan boat shakes the laurel paddle" is charming. The pure fragrance of lotus flowers and lovers fascinated me, and I forgot everything. If the Swiss watch hadn't quietly told me it was seven o'clock, I really don't know when I would become addicted! The clock struck seven, and the beautiful woman came dancing. The illusion should have come true in my hug and kiss with my lover. However, the poet was ingenious and unexpected, and his pen turned sharply, but he wrote "I". Looking at the beauty that came from Shanshan, he seemed to see a red lotus. The beautiful rhythm in Jiang Baishi's words, like tinkling spring water, slowly flows into my heart ... The poem comes to an abrupt end.
Yu Guangzhong's poems are all about the past and the present, and their meanings run through China and the West. China's long-standing poetic tradition always moistens his young poetic heart. At the intersection of tradition and modernity, Yu Guangzhong's poems are more mixed. Waiting for you in the rain has beautiful language, soft rhyme and ethereal realm of oriental classical beauty. At the same time, from the arrangement of poems, it fully embodies the poet's deliberate pursuit of the architectural beauty of modern metrical poems. When he returned to tradition, he did not abandon "modernity", but sought a kind of "modernity" with profound traditional background, or a kind of "classicality" baptized by "modernity". Poetry uses modern techniques such as monologue and synaesthesia to integrate modern people's feelings with classical beauty, and modern poetry with ancient sayings, so that poetry has reached a pure and exquisite realm.
