Xu zhimo's deeds

Crescent school: an important school of poetry in the history of modern new poetry, influenced by Tagore's Crescent Collection. This school of poetry is generally divided into two periods with 1927 as the boundary. The early stage began in the spring of 1926, supplemented by Beijing Morning Post? 6? 1 Shike is a position, and its main members are Wen Yiduo, Xu Zhimo, Zhu Xiang, Rao Mengkan, Sun Dayu and Liu. They are dissatisfied with the style of "liberal poets" who ignored the art of poetry after the May Fourth Movement, advocate new metrical poetry, advocate "rational emotional control", and oppose the promiscuity and prosaic tendency of poetry. From theory to practice, they made a serious exploration of the new poetic meter. Wen Yiduo put forward the famous thought of "three beauties" in "The Metre of Poetry", that is, "the beauty of music, the beauty of painting and the beauty of architecture". Therefore, the crescent school is also known as the "new metrical poetry school". The crescent school corrected the weakness of the early poetry creation that was too informal, and also made the new poetry enter the period of conscious creation. /kloc-in the spring of 0/927, Hu Shi, Xu Zhimo, Wen Yiduo, Liang Shiqiu and others founded Crescent Bookstore, and the monthly magazine Crescent was founded the following year. The main activities of the "Crescent School" moved to Shanghai, which was later the Crescent School. Its main positions are New Moon and Poetry, which were founded in 1930. The new members are Chen, Fang and Bian. In the later period, the Crescent School put forward the principles of "health" and "dignity", adhered to the position of "pure poetry" which was super-utilitarian, self-expression and aristocratic, and emphasized "purity of essence, thoroughness of technique and rigor of meter". However, the artistic expression and lyricism of poetry are close to modernist schools.

The beauty of music in the "three beauties" means that each section of the new moon poem is different, just like music. Architectural beauty means that the format of poetry is like architecture. The beauty of painting is that every paragraph of a crescent poem can be painted.

Poetry publishing school and crescent school belong to the same school, so it is difficult to distinguish them. Poetry Magazine was published in Beijing Morning Post in 15, while New Moon was held in Shanghai in 17. Sun Dayu, Rao Mengkan, Chen, Lin, Bian, Liu, Jian Xian 'ai, Shen Congwen and Sun Yutang made great contributions to the Crescent School. Cambridge moonlight

Xu Zhimo and his poems have no family background or personal hobbies. However, during his study in Cambridge University, England, he was uncharacteristically writing more than once, which led to the outbreak of his poetry creation. Although he wrote so many poems during this period, only twenty or thirty poems are scattered in some newspapers and magazines, and most of them have been lost. However, from the limited poems we can still see, we can also get a glimpse of Xu Zhimo's early poems and his thoughts.

At this time, why did Xu Zhimo write poems like he was possessed? How did he write poetry in generate?

First of all, it has something to do with his living environment at that time. It was the Cambridge environment in which he lived that aroused his interest in poetry and ignited his desire for creation. He said, "I'm really happy in Cambridge. I'm afraid I'll never get such a sweet baptism again in my life." Smoking and culture. So during this period, he created such works as Summer and Summer Field. Secondly, at this time, his personal life "shines with strange moonlight".

In the autumn of 192 1, he met the forest of "beautiful women" and "talented women". Xu Zhimo had a close relationship with her, and then talked about love and marriage. Therefore, Xu Zhimo filed for divorce with Zhang Youyi in March 1922, arguing that the two should not continue their married life without love and freedom. Free divorce, stopping suffering and foretelling happiness are Xu Zhimo's simple idealism. He is pursuing an ideal life. He feels that life seems to be "shocked by great power", he wants to express, he wants to sing. Therefore, love and love are represented as Love Dead, Listening to the Piano on a Moonlit Night, Miscellaneous Notes on Youth and Spring Breeze Breaking the Dream of Spring. In addition, he tends to write in different languages, because he is exposed to a lot of English literature and art, and the works of Byron, Shelley, Keats and Hardy fascinate him. He blew this "strange wind"-the European wind, and he followed their path, so with the help of poetry, his thoughts and feelings were "strange".

Therefore, Xu Zhimo especially misses this period of life in Cambridge, England. He is full of excitement and excitement. He wrote many poems, and his poetic situation is reflected in his long poem Dew on the Grass. This is his earliest poem that we have seen so far. This poem not only expresses his ambition and interest at that time, but also vividly conveys the turbulent state of his poetry. He opened the fountain of creation and sang with his throat. Therefore, he will become a poet. On the whole, these early poems are fresh in tone and lofty in artistic conception, which embodies "the call of youth and the bright hope" (Xu Zhimo: spring). At the same time, we began to explore the form of new poetry from many aspects. Poetry has various forms, but it has not yet been finalized. There are free poems, new metrical poems, western poems and even poems without punctuation. However, they emphasize the symmetry and neatness of rhyme, rhythm and format, and demand "smooth and pleasant tone and light and soft form", which is the consistent pursuit of Xu Zhimo's poems.

Although he was fascinated by life in Cambridge, England, his homesickness and homesickness haunted him, so he left Europe on August 1922 and set off for home. On the way home, I stopped in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan for two months, and arrived in Shanghai on June 65438+1October 65438+May.

After returning to China, Xu Zhimo started another life. The disturbance of the real society disturbs his inner balance, and sometimes he feels mentally bored and anxious. So he told his feelings and experiences and started his literary career.
