Differences between Gu Cheng and Xu Zhimo's Poems

Gu Cheng and his misty poems wander between heaven and earth, wandering in love and hate.

Misty poetry, also known as the poetry of the new poetry tide, is the product of the poetry movement of the new poetry tide. Because of its opacity and fuzziness in artistic form, it is called misty poetry. With its distinctive "distinctive" color and new aesthetic principles, it has launched a strong impact on the poetry world. Pursuing self-worth in poetry connotation and thinking about human nature with modern consciousness often have critical consciousness and anxiety consciousness under the specific historical background at that time, showing a indifferent tone. Pay attention to the creation of theme and the expression of personal inner feelings, and show the flash and illusion of self-consciousness. The images of these misty poems are often vague and uncertain, and they have absorbed the experience of modernist art extensively, showing a strong sense of modernity. Shu Ting, Bei Dao and Gu Cheng are representatives of the misty poetry school. Most of their thoughts and imaginations are unconstrained and unconstrained, flowing, or like antelope hanging horns, without trace, a little erratic and illusory; Don't eat human fireworks, so hazy poets are mostly weirdos. Gu Cheng is one of the best. He is a representative of China's misty poetry school in the new period, and is known as a "fairy tale poet" who sees the world with a childlike innocence. Compared with Shu Ting's elegance, charm, beauty and sadness, Gu Cheng's poems are naive. But in Gu Cheng's poems full of dreams and childishness, there is an adult sadness. Although this sadness is faint, it is as heavy as lead. Because this is not only the poet's personal sorrow, but also the sorrow of a generation after awakening, and the sorrow of an awakened generation to see the reality in front of them. There is a fragment in The Unknown Flower: My poem is like an unknown flower, which quietly blooms with the wind and rain of the season.

Lonely people from here we can see a shadow of Gu Cheng itself, that is, a small flower blooms on lonely people, and we will never see a small flower feel this way. It is written in Far and Near: Far and Near.

You, look at me for a while, look at the clouds for a while. I want you to look at me from a distance,

You see the cloud is very close to this poem, which is the poet's essential discovery of abnormal life. When this poem was first published, it was considered as a strange poem that was difficult to understand. According to the rigid reading mode at that time, people have become accustomed to the passive thinking mode, and this poem is really difficult to interpret. Because the distance between you and me can't be far beyond the distance between you and the cloud. But why does the poet feel that "when you look at me, it is far away, and when you look at the clouds, it is very close"? The reason is that the poet wrote about an abnormal life and a distorted interpersonal relationship. In this twisted relationship, everything is upside down. The relationship between people who should be close is alienated by the barrier of the soul, which seems so lonely and inaccessible; Because of the alienation of interpersonal relationship, man and nature have narrowed the distance and become very close. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the closeness between man and nature that man's loneliness is further manifested; Perhaps it is this loneliness that often reminds Gu Cheng of the kingdom of dreams. But Gu Cheng should know that in this world full of contradictions, the dream kingdom of heaven does not exist. . However, such a genius left this world in an unusual way before the first chapter of the poem of youth was over. What is left to future generations are his hazy and strange poems, some of which are known and some are unknown. Maybe it's misty poetry that makes him difficult to understand. Perhaps "misty poetry" is also loved by many people because of its obscurity and unique style. Perhaps the words in the poem itself are not gorgeous, and the "image" chosen is normal, but the hysterical feelings contained in it can only be realized if you really understand and imagine. Especially in obscure poems, I always need to work hard to remove that obscurity, and this step often puzzles us. Maybe some words are sometimes insincere, just write them down casually. They have no specific meaning, but only they can read it, because it is their own language. It is precisely because ordinary people are puzzled by these words that the poet himself is even more elusive. After a long period of feeling and self-evaporation, they are somewhat out of place with this society. However, in human nature, when we find our loneliness, it is a kind of pain. Vague poets are used to transforming abstraction into concreteness, and then transforming concreteness into abstraction. So they naturally exaggerate this feeling, and to a certain extent, it can converge into an overwhelming inspiration. But people have their limits. When they can't stand it, they will choose to extricate themselves. Gu Cheng is an example. Perhaps the misty poets themselves are hazy, they are sentimental and divorced from reality, they wander in an invisible space and they are not allowed to exist in the world. When they were in a dilemma, their creation almost dried up, and then they chose to devote themselves completely to it.

This space naturally gets rid of the world. It is too difficult to tell whether the misty poet like an elf built the misty poem or the misty poem endowed the poet with a mysterious obscurity, and perhaps it is impossible to tell, but the inextricable connection between the two has been undoubtedly reflected from Gu Cheng.

The greatest artistic feature of Xu Zhimo's poetry creation is musicality, which is different from music. The language based on life is mainly spoken language. Its beauty lies in the poet's writing his own poems in China vernacular, which not only gets the charm and rhythm of the poems, but also gets the sense of melody. Under the comprehensive influence of China's poetic rhythm and western free verse, Xu Zhimo's poems developed a new prototype of poetic meter. The reason why Xu Zhimo's creation can gain a firm foothold among readers and become an outstanding representative of new poetry, and the reason why new poetry can become the main body of China's modern poetry comes from the musicality of Xu Zhimo's poetry based on the language itself.

Poets often fantasize about an independent and pure artistic realm to compete with real life. Although this is impossible, it has brought great spiritual support to the poet. So what I write is not to show how dark the world is, but to express my dissatisfaction and resentment against the dark reality, my attitude incompatible with the dark reality and my yearning for a better life. The poet's sense of vicissitudes of life is fully manifested in his life belief of disdaining to pursue "love, beauty and freedom" and "melancholy life, loving the stars more", which is also the place of the poet's romanticism.
