Bing Xin was originally named Xie Wanying, and his poetry creation was influenced by Tagore's Birds. In the article How I Write Stars and Spring Water, she said: "When I write stars and spring water myself, I am not writing poetry, but influenced by Tagore's Birds, and I have made many fragments myself.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/920, Bing Xin wrote affectionately in the article "Email to Indian philosopher Tagore": "A book inadvertently introduced you to me, and I finished reading your biography and poems-I don't want to think about it in my heart, but I feel deeply clear ... Thank you for treating my natural sadness with fast and beautiful poems; Thank you for comforting my loneliness with excellent philosophy. "
Accidentally reading a book "Birds" produced a sense of tacit understanding and strange fate, which made Bing Xin compose his fragmentary thoughts into poems, and later "Stars" and "Spring Water" created the unique beauty of Bing Xin's poetry and literature in China literary world. At that time, Bing Xin didn't know Tagore was so famous. Tagore was the first non-Westerner to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and his poems were deeply loved by China writers such as Xu Dishan, Guo Moruo and Zheng Zhenduo. Such a famous poet also likes the Tao Te Ching written by China and Laozi, and the words in the Tao Te Ching are quoted many times in his works.
If Bing Xin met Tagore's works and got stars because of cultural exchange and innovation, maybe Tagore wrote birds because of a certain work. If we speculate further, there may be many original stories influenced by words and literature ... If we look back, Bing Xin's works will have wonderful inheritance and blending with many Chinese children.
At the moment of reality, I took my students to learn Bing Xin's poems, and the students followed the poems to create touching poems:
It gives lazy children/carves a stupid turtle/bears a heavy sigh/crawls behind in great pain.
It gives diligent children/carves a red horse/always flies on all fours every day/runs in front of others (the era of Zhang Miller)
Pouring water/like falling from the sky/knocking on smooth stones/playing a wonderful symphony/jumping spray/forming a clear lake (waterfall of Chen Jiahang)
This may be a cultural heritage and literary influence. As a teacher, taking students is not only to learn the stars of Bing Xin, but also to open a window, take students to write their own "stars", and gather these "stars" together to weave a beautiful night sky ... After several years, when they watch their works recorded and collected, that childlike innocence will surely be awakened again-the little girl is cute, but the young man is.
"Knowledge" can't be spoken, and poetry can't be "educated", but its influence is subtle. "Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently", educating people means planting excellent culture in your heart and then waiting for flowers to bloom.
