There is a lonely sail shining with white light!
……
What is it looking for in a distant place?
What did it leave in its lovely hometown?
……
The waves are rough-the sea breeze is whistling,
The mast arched and creaked.
……
Alas! This is not about seeking happiness,
It's not to escape happiness and run to the other side!
Below is a blue wave clearer than the blue sky.
It's golden yellow and sunny. ...
It prayed anxiously for the storm to come,
There seems to be peace in the storm!
The organic unity of reason and emotion
The author was 17 years old when he wrote this poem. This poem was not included in the poems compiled by the poet before his death, but its eternal rebellious spirit and image of pursuing freedom inspired many readers in China. After careful analysis, this rigorous little poem is the poet's masterpiece.
This poem learned from a letter the author wrote to his friend that it was born on the coast. The scene described in the first sentence of the poem may be the most profound lens of this poem. In the light blue fog, a lone sail was shining with white light. Facing this vast world, the poet can't restrain his passion. He suddenly pinned himself on the canvas, almost to himself: what did it go to a distant country to look for? What did it leave in its hometown? The protagonist's problems are just like the protagonist's shadow, and all of them are focused on Fan Ye at this time. Because of this perspective and questioning, Fan Ye is "alive" and has a history, which cannot but attract attention! The problem of monologue highlights its sacredness, its connotation and its history.
At the beginning of the second natural paragraph, we turned our attention to its surroundings with the author's description, and observed it more closely-there are waves, wind and rattled masts, which constitute the movement of sail life. At this time, we realized that the sail is not living in a soft void, it is not idle, it is not a mirage, it is struggling to survive in such an environment! Not afraid of storms. Don't look down on your eyes, let the wind and waves rise and go your own way. It embodies the pride and generosity of "I will ride the wind and waves even if they tear it to pieces in the end" (Bai Ye's ship). I also have a deep understanding of the following poem: it is not looking for happiness, nor is it escaping from happiness. It contains the most complicated contradiction of human desire and pursuit for feelings and happiness. So what is it going to do?
The last soul found a conversion. Look: "There is a clear blue stream below,/with golden sunshine on it ..."
This is a calm description. The world up and down is quiet and peaceful, as if calling to it. Maybe that's what it lost, maybe that's happiness. But why is it so close to them, but it doesn't come to me or run away from me? Its carefree, its "dare to spend nine days and months, dare to go to the five oceans to catch turtles" are all aimed at a behavior, that is:
"restless sails pray for the storm/as if there is a peaceful country in the storm!"
How ambitious this is! Only by pinning the highest spiritual realm on the determination to meet challenges and fight against bad luck can we have such a mind and an immortal image. What it prays for is the carefree attack of the storm on it, the cry of its desire to exercise the soul ... All tranquility, warmth and happiness have nothing to do with me, and living in the wind and rain forever is its nature! Its heroism, its endless, its roughness, its wailing ... are firmly outlined in the rolling waves and the sound of the mast rolling. This is the soul of the sail, its essence, its primary color! Who can not envy this distant and profound pain, eager to get close to it and understand it? !
Poetry is written with a highly rational core and a strong emotional atmosphere. It is an organic unity of reason and emotion, revealing the spirit, temperament and soul of the strong.
