The theme of this poem is "spring", but "it is completely different from the thousands of works that hurt spring and admire chest." Spring apples are flourishing and transformed into a green flame by the poet, which is not only similar in shape, but more importantly, the tenacious vitality of spring grass has an internal spiritual connection with the wildness of the flame. Everything wakes up in spring, and everything is surging with uncontrollable passion. Spring grass was infused with the poet's passion, and its swaying became a desire.
The theme of this poem is "spring", but "it is completely different from thousands of works that hurt spring and sing homesickness." It is much stronger and more real, and at the same time it is so complete in form ("Mu Dan: Origin and Death"). Among them, there is no old image of "amorous feelings", romantic and vague artistic conception, and some are poets' keen intuition, which has been cast into complex metaphysical speculative rationality.
Spring apples are flourishing and transformed into a green flame by the poet, which is not only similar in shape, but more importantly, the tenacious vitality of spring grass has an internal spiritual connection with the wildness of the flame. Everything wakes up in spring, and everything is surging with uncontrollable passion. Spring grass was injected with the poet's passion, and its swaying became a desire.
A gushing primitive desire, calling for flowers. Flowers are also strong, "resisting the earth" under the call of spring, revealing their buds and buds, like impulsive horns. The word "resistance" accurately and profoundly shows the essence of spring, which reminds us of something broader, the cold and stiff land in winter, and the unyielding resistance of flowers in black mud. ...
In this way, the green grass is a wildfire, the flowers are rebels, and a spring full of vitality and competition is presented by the poet. Grass and flowers are not phenomena, but spirit and essence; It is the embodiment of the poet's spiritual ability to penetrate the surface order and see the hidden order, and it has deep rational characteristics.
At the end of the first section, the word "desire" is used to summarize the beautiful natural image, and most of the second section uses words to write the anguish of life.
In the second section, the poet skillfully transited from spring to youth, and used many emotional images to compare the longing and anxiety of youth, happiness and pain. Twenty-year-old spirit and flesh are more restless in this spring full of desire and creative vitality. That kind of "eternal mystery" is the internal conflict of life, and young people are "bewitched" by it. They want to vent and create, because their lives are also burning with "green flames" and blooming rebellious flowers.
However, people's will to life cannot be as wild as nature, and they are still "imprisoned", like a bird made of clay, with no hope of singing and wings. They are impulsive, but they have nowhere to go. They are "lit" by spring, but they can only "curl up". Here, natural spring contrasts with human youth, and people are oppressed. He struggled fiercely in his heart and accumulated his inner strength to break the oppression.
This is a kind of mentality generally felt by young intellectuals with ideals and integrity in the early 1940s. They have desires, but they have nowhere to display them: they have strength and "nowhere to turn for help", so they are in an atmosphere of hesitation, depression and persistence.
This poem compares the repressed power of human beings with the fully released power of nature, but the final conclusion is not pessimistic.
