Published in 19 12, translated into English by Tagore himself, sent to Pound and Ye Zhi, the famous modernist poets at that time, in 19 13, and published in the west by them, which immediately caused a sensation in the western literary world.
That year, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Nobel Prize in Literature Jury spoke highly of him: "His earnest pursuit of truth, insight of thought, broad vision and enthusiasm, energetic expression technique, and his idealistic philosophy of maintaining and developing life by using this technique in many works." These comments affirmed the profound thoughts contained in Gitanjali, the poet's spirit of unremitting exploration, and the symbolic oriental expression.
There are 103 pieces of Chittaglia, most of which are dedicated to the gods:
The God in Tagore's mind is an invisible, omnipresent and all-encompassing spiritual noumenon. It is not only a supernatural power that dominates everything in the universe, but also a kind of majesty in the dark, and it is also a concrete image that has become countless "doppelgangers" and exists in everything in the universe. Therefore, the gods described by Tagore are not the gods in traditional religious concepts, but more social and vivid colors. ?
First of all, in terms of ideological content, although Gitanjali is a poem praising God, Tagore rarely talks about the word "God", and he replaces God with titles such as "You", "He", "Our Lord" and "Heavenly Father". ?
When we savor these poems praising the gods, people can hardly feel the eerie and solemn temple spirit and the heavy and dignified religious spirit far away from the world. On the contrary, these poems give people a fresh and harmonious feeling close to pastoral poetry, with obvious democratic tendencies.
