Dreams will blossom, and dreams will bloom beautiful flowers: to find priceless treasures. In the blue sea, at the bottom of the blue sea, there is a hidden golden shell. You climbed an iceberg for nine years, you sailed for nine years, and then you met a golden shell. It has the sound of clouds and rain in the sky, it has the sound of wind and waves on the sea, and it will fascinate your heart. Keep it in seawater for nine years, in Tianshui for nine years, and then bloom in the dark. When your temples are covered with spots, when your eyes are hazy, golden shells spit out peach beads. Put the peach beads in your arms and put them on the pillow, and a dream comes quietly. Your dream blooms, your dream blooms, when you are old.
This poem is a typical example of Dai Wangshu's modernist poetry. It rebelled against the external pursuit of musical beauty represented by Rain Lane, and paid attention to the internal emotional rhythm of poetry. Nor does it care about the architectural beauty and painting beauty of poetry, but tries to construct the symbolic world of poetry. As mentioned above, golden shells, peach pearls and dream flowers are symbolic, symbolizing the three levels and stages of life ideals. In addition, this poem successfully depicts a modern dream seeker who trudges, pursues, questions and laughs at himself. His image orientation and the difficult living environment in which his image lives are symbolic. It is this symbolism that enriches and deepens the modern aesthetic connotation of poetry, and it also has the distinct charm of China's classical poetry.
