First, the simple picture condenses the deep love.
Image is artistic conception. "Land" and "Sun" are two main images in Ai Qing's poems. "Land" symbolizes the troubled motherland that gave birth to him and raised him. Therefore, the image of "land" embodies Ai Qing's deepest love for the motherland and the people, and his deep concern about the national crisis and the sufferings of the people. This can be seen from the title of the poem, such as "Why do I often have tears in my eyes?" Because I love this land deeply … ",these two true and simple poems tell the eternal" land "complex in the poet's heart. From this, we can easily draw a conclusion that Ai Qing's poems have a unique world of aesthetic images.
Secondly, pathos poems reflect ardent feelings.
As a lyric art, poetry works need to constantly strengthen their feelings in order to strike a chord with readers for a long time. This poem is full of melancholy tone and deep sadness. "Why do I often have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply ... ",the sentence is mixed with melancholy and sadness, but this lyrical tone is a reflection of the poet's sensitive heart to the reality of national suffering and people's miserable life, and also his extremely eager feelings.
People are not birds and beasts, it goes without saying that this poem begins with "if", which is the first layer of reinforcement. Who doesn't know that the birds are clear and crisp? This poem is described as "hoarse", which is the second layer of reinforcement. It is not enough to have these two layers of reinforcement, so the objects of singing have appeared in the poem one after another: land, river, wind and dawn. It is particularly noteworthy that when describing these images, the poet reached the point of poverty and tears, which fully reflected the artistic characteristics of this freestyle poet. As we know, the word "de" is mostly avoided or used less when writing poems. Needless to say, those folk songs are the creation of free poems. Many people are afraid that too many words "de" will slow down poetry. Ai Qing, on the other hand, dares to express his lingering feelings with a series of long sentences composed of the word "de", and likes to add a lot of adjectives and modifiers in front of the objects he describes to express the spirit of the objects and form a special sense of three-dimensional and sculpture, which is an important feature that distinguishes Ai Qing's liberal poetry creation from other liberal poets (such as Field). I love this land, and it is no exception. It is not difficult to see the mystery by looking at many modifiers such as "pathos", "ferocity" and "gentleness" specially added by the poet before the head words such as "land", "river", "wind" and "dawn". These long sentences describing landscapes such as land and rivers mentioned above can be said to be the third layer of reinforcement.
Third, the strong contrast reflects the persistent love.
If I were a bird, the whole poem begins with such an unexpected assumption, and readers can't help asking, what is the connection between the image of "bird" and the "land" that the author wants to praise? This is the suspense left by the author at the beginning. Just as the reader was impressed by the poet's constant singing-tenacious vitality, I didn't expect this poem to suddenly take a big turn. After a dash, it highlighted "I am dead" and made the body fertile, so there was a strong contrast between life and death. In this strong contrast, the bird's persistent love for the land is consistent. It was really born, sung and lived in Sri Lanka. At this point, the suspense above is solved.
Finally, it needs to be pointed out that the "bird" in the poem is a general term, a * * * name, and a new artistic pursuit made by the poet without relying on it. The poem shows a kind of "hoarse throat" in particular, which is purely caused by the tragic atmosphere in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and is also the affectionate expression of the special temperament and personality of this "sad poet".
