Second, there are not many classics, just two lines:
The night gave me a pair of black eyes.
I use it to find the light.
Third, appreciate:
This little poem with only two lines shocked the whole poetry circle after the publication of the third issue of 1980 Star.
Gu Cheng's poem has only two sentences, but it occupies considerable weight in the history of contemporary poetry. With its high historical generality and philosophical light of dialectical thinking, it has high aesthetic value and strong artistic power.
This poem accurately expresses the emotional course of a generation and has a strong color of the times. "Night gives me black eyes", "night" symbolizes turbulent times, and "black eyes" refers to both reality and emptiness. It is true that our "descendants of the dragon" have yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. Black has dark, deep and sad feelings, and it has empty meaning. Ten years of the Cultural Revolution cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of a generation, especially the younger generation, leaving many wounds, resulting in-yin-depression, depression and sadness. Some people say that this generation is a sinking generation and a lost generation, and it does have some truth. But who caused the damage or chaos? The poet clearly pointed out that it was "night" and accurately pointed out the logical relationship between the two, thus pointing the criticism at the evil forces that distorted the souls of young people.
Although the night has brought disaster to the younger generation, making them sink into confusion, even in the darkest moment, they have not lost their yearning for the light. They are not only a fallen and lost generation, but also a rising and awakening generation! This understanding and generalization of the poet shines with the brilliance of dialectical thinking.
It is better to curse the "night" than to curse the degeneration and confusion of this generation. How unfair it is to see only the "black eyes" of this generation, but not the bright flashes they are eager for! Two short poems summarize the psychological course of a generation and express the denial of dark politics and the yearning and pursuit of light.
It vividly shows how tenacious human nature is in pursuit of light. Even in the darkest environment and the most vicious destruction, the human nature of pursuing light will not be erased. In this way, the greatness of darkness and the tenacity of kindness are highlighted in the contrast.
A generation condensed into one sentence from Gu Cheng, and endless words condensed into two lines from Gu Cheng; The most abstract and profound insights have also been turned into the most intuitive images by the poet Gu Cheng under the guidance of genius.
A young man with pain and hesitation silently sticks to the pure light in his heart. He doesn't expect the world to change anything for him, because his holy heart will last forever, so he is satisfied.
This poem was written after the Cultural Revolution. It's about unyielding young people during the Cultural Revolution. Although they suffered from darkness, they still did not give up their pursuit of light. This poem strongly proves that poetry is the essence of art, its ideological content is highly concentrated and its artistic expression is highly purified, which makes it have strength and capacity that novels, essays and other styles do not have.
