Li Dazhao
one
It is the beauty of nature, it is the beauty of nature;
There is no one anywhere, and the empty mountains are ringing.
two
Clouds are outside the green hills, and people are inside the white clouds.
Yun Fei people are still there, and Castle Peak is still there.
These two poems were first published in the third volume of 19 18 New Youth. Judging from the title itself, Scenery in the Mountains seems to be a landscape poem or a landscape poem. However, judging from the implicit tradition of classical poetry, these two poems undoubtedly have the characteristics of expressing feelings.
The first poem expresses a spirit of independence and freedom in the process of praising natural beauty. "It's the beauty of nature, it's the beauty of nature", with seemingly plain palindrome writing, tells the infinite beauty of nature and achieves the beauty of nature. The former is born, and the latter is endless. The power of nature will always make people sincerely admire and deeply obsessed. The best embodiment of this beauty is that "there is no place, and the empty mountains are flowing." Indeed, in the depths of Qian Shan, in a deserted place, in such a quiet and empty place, the clear spring gurgled all the way. How amazingly beautiful it is! This is the only sound in silence. Although the flow is not large, it is a vitality of life. Although the voice is weak, it is a string of exciting heartbeats in the chest of Dashan; Although the road is tortuous, it is a tenacious pursuit. This scene reminds us that in the silent ideological wilderness, Mr. Li Dazhao made his first loud voice, remembering that he used "red blood/spit out the first ray of truth" (my humble work: mini poem Li Dazhao).
The second poem, which is dominated by the sky, shows the indomitable and magnificent personality of the poet. "Clouds are outside the castle peak", this sentence is to look up and see how leisurely the white clouds dancing outside the castle peak are; "People are in the white clouds", this sentence is looking down at the athletes climbing the peak and looking around, writing their lofty aspirations in the blue sky and white clouds. How high-spirited they are! However, the poet's pen suddenly turned, "Yun Fei people are still there, and Qingshan is still there." The white clouds floated away, and the climbers came back happily, only a column of green hills stood between heaven and earth! At this point, we know that the poet is using the method of wanting to ascend first, paving the way with the clouds outside the mountain and the people in the clouds, setting off the "Let it blow, I will never move" of Qingshan! The poet's indomitable personality image of pursuing truth in the face of changing environment is vividly on the paper.
The integration of these two poems shows the fearlessness of the poet standing on the cusp of the times. Of course, it should be noted that these two poems look like five-character ancient poems in form, but they are not. The first poem "It's the beauty of nature, it's the beauty of nature" is actually a circuitous prose sentence with internal rhythm. The following poem, "No one has ever heard it, an empty mountain resounds with a flowing spring", does not conform to the level of five-character poems, but it is refined and refined. The second song seems to be the five elements, but it is not the five elements, which still meets the requirements of the "great liberation of poetic style" at that time. It is also based on this that these two poems are appreciated as miniature poems.
