On the Rhythm Beauty of A Farewell to Cambridge

I left quietly, just as I came gently;

I waved my hand gently and bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky. The golden willow by the river is the bride in the sunset;

Beautiful shadows in the waves ripple in my heart. Green grass on the soft mud, oily, swaying at the bottom of the water;

In the gentle waves of He Kanghe, I would like to be an aquatic plant! The pool under the shade of the elm tree is not a clear spring.

It is the rainbow in the sky that is crushed in floating seaweed, precipitating a rainbow-like dream. Looking for dreams? Support a long pole and swim back to a greener place on the grass.

Full of starlight, singing in the splendor of starlight. But I can't play the piano, just a farewell flute;

Summer insects are also silent for me. Silence is Cambridge tonight. I left quietly, just as I came quietly;

I waved my sleeve without taking away a cloud. -Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge The famous Farewell to Cambridge is a verse. The change of rhyme feet between rhymes refers to the phenomenon that there are different rhymes between rhymes, which leads to the change of rhyme feet. For example, in the first sentence of this poem, the rhyme characters are "Lai" and "Cai", with a rhyme of Ai. In the second quarter, the rhyme word "Niang" and "Yang" means "Ang". The rhyme in the third section is "shake" and "grass", and the rhyme is ao. The rhyme in the fourth quarter is "rainbow" and "dream", and the rhyme is ong. In the fifth section, the rhyme characters are "Hui" and "Song", with Europe and Hubei as the rhyme, and Xiao and Qiao as the rhyme. The rhyme of each section is different, so the rhyme between sections is realized. Throughout A Farewell to Cambridge, the whole poem consists of seven sections, four lines in each section, two or three meals in each line, which is eclectic, rigorous in statutes, rhyming with 24, cadence and catchy.

It is not difficult to see that Xu Zhimo advocates artistic poetry. He also deeply admired the poetic ideas of "the beauty of music, painting and architecture", especially the beauty of music.
