Poetry
The author Shizhi comes from "The Poetry of Index Finger" When the spider web mercilessly sealed off my stove When the smoke of ashes sighed the sorrow of poverty, I still stubbornly paved the way for disappointment The ashes write with beautiful snowflakes: Believe in the future. When my purple grapes turn into late autumn dew, when my flowers nestle in the feelings of others, I still stubbornly write on the desolate earth with frost-covered dead vines: Believe in the future. I want to use my fingers to wave the waves that rush to the horizon. I want to use my palms to hold the sea that supports the sun and sway the dawn. That warm and beautiful penholder writes in a child's handwriting: Believe in the future. The reason why I firmly believe in the future is that I believe in the future. People's eyes have the eyelashes to brush away the dust of history, and the pupils to see through the chapters of the years. No matter whether people express touching tears and deep sympathy for our rotting flesh, the melancholy of the lost path, and the pain of failure, or they give them a contemptuous smile, a bitter smile. I firmly believe that people will give us enthusiastic, objective and fair evaluations of the countless explorations, losses, failures and successes of our spine. Yes, I am anxiously waiting for their evaluations. Friends, firmly believe in the future. I believe. Young people who work indomitably, believe in the victory over death, believe in the future, love the future of life, there must be a bright future, there must be a beautiful life, always move forward 1968 Beijing
Poetry Appreciation
Arrangement on the horizon Wave: Symbolizing the undercurrent of the times. Based on the author's state of mind at the time (1968), it can be understood as the dawn of the era: a symbol of hope. Given the environment of the Cultural Revolution that people were living in at that time, their hearts were relatively gloomy. The period of the Cultural Revolution was almost a blank period in the history of Chinese literature, but folk creations survived tenaciously. Index Finger is one of the outstanding folk poets, an excellent poet who has filled the gaps in history. Shi Zhi (1948-), whose original name is Guo Lusheng, is the author of poetry collections "Believe in the Future", "Shi Zhi, Collection of Modern Lyric Poems by Hei Dachun", "Poetry Exploration Vault·Shi Zhi Volume", and "Shi Zhi's Poems". The poem was widely circulated in society in the form of manuscripts, and was quickly spread among a generation of young people. At the beginning of the poem, several images such as "spider web", "stove", "smoke" and "ashes" are used to describe the desolate, poor and difficult era. No matter who has experienced that era, there will be unspeakable strong feelings in the heart. But the poet "wrote it with beautiful snowflakes: Believe in the future." "Snowflakes" not only symbolize purity and simplicity, but also convey clear and clear consciousness; the determination to not succumb to reality is particularly true: this is from a difficult life. The faith that arises! In the second stanza, "purple grapes", "late autumn dew", "flowers", "other people's feelings" and "condensed withered vines" are used to describe the experience of life from bright to dim, from passion to frustration, from fullness to depletion. , arousing people's associations with all the frustrations, loneliness, and unhappiness in life, and the poet's personality power of "writing on the desolate land: Believe in the future" cannot but strongly shock everyone's heart: this is from the suffering of life. The faith that arises! The third stanza, "I want to use my fingers to push the waves rushing to the horizon/I want to hold up the sea that supports the sun with my hands." The great power, wide range, and fierce momentum show the poet's full of pride. The sentence "Swaying the warm and beautiful penholder of the dawn" compares "dawn" to a "penholder", which is full of imagination. "Write it in a child's handwriting: believe in the future", which expresses the poet's sincere and frank thoughts: This is a belief that arises from a true heart. These three stanzas, one chant and three sighs, "believe in the future" are like the main melody of a piece of music, playing the strongest voice in the poet's heart. In that era of gloom and mental pain, "Believe in the Future" cast a light of hope in people's hearts. I think that most of the educated youth who came from that era can also be said to be a generation, and they will still be moved by "Believe in the Future" at any time! The index finger "believes in the future", that kind of cruel, stubborn, painful and scarred belief is a person's unyielding belief in the future in the painful reality. It is also the most moving core of this poem. If this poem had only the first three stanzas, it would not be enough to express Shizhi's profound thoughts. In the next three stanzas, Shizhi combines his "belief" in the "future" with his clear understanding of human beings. First of all, the poet believes that "the eyes of people in the future" can "set aside the dust of history" and "see through the chapters of the years." The two images of "eyelashes" and "pupils" are derived from "eyes" and vividly depict the thinking expressions of people in the future. "Pull aside" and "see through" also praise the greatness of human wisdom and the reason why the poet "believes in the future" Just rest in this image of thinking. Secondly, the poet does not care about people's praise or criticism of our bodies and experiences. The three specific images or expressions of "rotten flesh", "melancholy of being lost" and "pain of failure" convey the various sufferings of real people; "moved tears", "deep sympathy", "contemptuous smile", "poignant" The four details of "ridicule" show people's expressions of various evaluations of past history, with vivid images and precise writing.
Thirdly, the poet firmly believes that in the future "people will give enthusiastic, objective and fair evaluations of our backbone". The "backbone" is the unyielding faith and the spirit of exploration, "the countless explorations, lost ways, failures and The unyielding faith and spirit reflected in "success". These three stanzas tortuously explore the common belief in the future deep in the human heart. It is based on this understanding that the poet "believes in the future" without any doubt and "anxiously awaits their judgment." The last stanza of the poem uses a passionate call to inspire people passionately to "believe in indomitable efforts/believe in youth that defeats death/believe in the future and love life." The poem declares war on the painful reality with irrefutable momentum and fearless spirit. The belief in the "future" spurts out like the sun on the sea, strongly shaking the soul of every reader. This poem is cleverly conceived. The first three sections describe how I "believe in the future", the last three sections describe why I should "believe in the future", and the last section calls on people to work hard, love and live with faith in the future. The language is simple, but the thoughts are profound; the character is distinctive and convincing. The whole poem basically follows the traditional method of four lines and one section, which achieves a touching effect through the constant changes of light and stress. It combines the time art of language with the space art of Chinese painting to realize what the poet has repeatedly said about "my love". Poetry is a window, and it is the art of "the window contains the ever-changing snow of the Xiling Mountains". Reading through the poem, although we feel more not relief but depression; not happiness but pain. But from the poet's depressing and painful chants, we can also truly feel the poet's soul-stirring belief - always longing and yearning for a bright future and striving for ideals and brightness. Regarding the image of spider web in poetry, in life, "spider web" appears in places where human activities have disappeared for a long time. These places are often covered with dust, giving people a dark or gray tone, and are lifeless and lifeless; and " The central image of "net" brings people a personal feeling of systemic "restraint", so the word "seizure" is used in the poem, which is obviously a symbolic improvement of the image information of "restraint". Therefore, the image of "spider web" contains three messages that fit the context: "gray tone", "lifeless", and "giving people restraint". My stove The reason why "my stove" is used as an image is because the addition of the word "my" is more in line with the definition of "image": an objective object that incorporates "the poet's subjective emotions". "Believe in the Future" was written in the north, and the index finger is also a northerner. In the three northeastern provinces, it will snow on October 1st in the Gregorian calendar, and keeping warm is one of the daily lifestyles of northerners. When there is no heating supply, the stove is a tool for people to keep warm in their daily lives, bringing people a kind of daily universal warmth. Therefore, "my hearth" can be understood as all the life that brings warmth to "my" heart, and then can be understood as the transformational understanding of "my" inner passion, hope and even ideal for life. And all of this has now been ruthlessly "blocked" by the "gloomy", "lifeless" external society that "puts constraints on people" everywhere. The remnants of ashes "Ashes" and "the remnants of ashes" give people completely different feelings: "Ashes" is static, a dark and dead silence; the central word of "The remnants of ashes" is "remaining smoke", which is dynamic , curling up from the "ashes", giving people a slight sense of movement and possible burning hope, so the "smoke of ashes" shows hope in the dead silence. Although life is as dead as "ashes", there are still "sighs" like "smoke" that show the breath and hope of life. Beautiful snowflakes "Snowflakes" are first of all "beautiful" in the poet's heart, constituting the brightness and joy of the soul; secondly, the whiteness of "snowflakes" and the gray tones of "spider webs" and the black tones of "ashes" constitute the color combination. The strong contrast brings joy and optimism to people, giving them hope. Again, snowflakes can cover the dirty earth, making the whole world look new and giving people a new future. Purple Grapes "Grapes" are the sweetest harvest in summer. The ripest grapes are purple, so it can be said that "Purple Grapes" are the sweetest harvest when human vitality is strong. At the same time, purple is also the color of noble life, which comes from the indomitable vitality in suffering. The poet was twenty years old when he wrote "Believe in the Future". It was a season of vigorous vitality and talent. The poem "Believe in the Future" itself is the most beautiful harvest of the poet in this season of life. At the same time, the poet was also in the dilemma and tribulations of life. Survival, so the two analyzes of purple here are consistent with the poet's writing context. The dew in late autumn is associated with the chilling atmosphere. "Late Autumn" is the season when all things decline. Although the "dew" is pure, its nourishment for life is really limited. In this chilling season, any disturbance can obliterate its existence, which is extremely harmful. Easily fade away. Therefore, "late autumn dew" symbolizes things that are very perishable and even the fragile existence of people, echoing the connotation of "purple grapes". My Flowers "Flowers" naturally point to success, honors and opportunities or platforms to obtain them under the hint of "feelings". "My Flowers" refers to the opportunities, honors, and opportunities that originally belong to "me" or that I should have had. Success etc. now belong to “others”.
The dead vine of Ningshuang. "Withered vine" as the name suggests refers to the dry and lifeless vine. Although "Ningshuang" can no longer nourish the life of the withered vine, the poet chose the "withered vine" of "Ningshuang" to write a very good expression. It reveals the "stubbornness" in his heart - stubbornness in the hope of life, even if it is very slim. The desolate earth "earth" is the eternal matrix, the eternal place of birth and death. Although it is "bleak" now, the reactionary will soon die, the righteous will see the light again, and the vitality of the earth cannot be wiped out. The attributive word for rowing waves is "surging towards the horizon", which is a kind of infinite momentum and power. The attributive word for the sea is "supporting the sun", which is a kind of majestic and broad-mindedness. Dawn "dawn" means morning sunlight. Sunlight is the source of life for the growth of all things, and the "early morning" sunshine hints at the dark past and the arrival of dawn. The poet "sways" the morning sunshine, with confidence in the beautiful vitality and the certainty that the dark time will surely perish. People's eyes are the eyes of people in the "future". "She has eyelashes that can clear away the dust of history" and "she has pupils that can see through the chapters of the years." That is to say, the poet believes that people in the future have a rationality that can clear away the fog of history. The rotten flesh refers to "the melancholy of being lost and the pain of failure". After comparing it with the "spine" at the back, we can know that these melancholy and pain are superficial wounds and temporary difficulties. Our spine refers to “those countless explorations, losses, failures and successes”. "Spine" supports the human body and is generally used to symbolize the backbone of a nation. Here it is internalized as the spiritual pillar of "us" as a group, and these spiritual "explorations" are undoubtedly also an exploration of the way out for a nation in trouble. The poet believes that people in the "future" will use historical rationality to "certainly give enthusiastic, objective and fair evaluations" of their injuries and beneficial explorations.
