"Phoenix Nirvana" shows a strong patriotic passion and sturm und drang's spirit of the times through the ancient legend of "gathering incense to burn oneself and being reborn in the fire". The phoenix image described by the poet is magnificent and lofty.
She boldly denied everything in the old reality, abandoned the old self, severely reprimanded the shallow and obscene group ugliness, and loved the new world yearning for clean, beautiful and fragrant mailboxes, which embodied the spirit of thorough anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism and the optimism of fighting, and fully expressed the author's progressive social ideal of completely destroying old things and creating a bright world.
The whole poem consists of six chapters, which is a poetic drama form. The first chapter "Overture" describes the preparations made by Phoenix for self-immolation. The poem describes the typical environment of Phoenix before self-immolation, and describes the scene of a fire rising, which has profound enlightenment to the real world. In the chapter "Feng Ge", the poet gave Feng a rough and majestic voice, which made him curse the real world with strong resentment.
Feng's questioning and cursing of the universe is filled with indignation and strong feelings, just like the waves rolled up in the sea, patting the embankment and causing the earth to shake. This is the echo of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal tide that China people broke through the historical gate during the May 4th Movement.
The third chapter, Song of Burning, accuses people of the pain and misfortune brought by the old world through Huang's bitterness and complaint. Phoenix and Huang have no nostalgia for the real world. Going forward bravely and seeking new life is the only way to burn. Song of Birds compares some ugly people in society to a group of ordinary birds, which sets off the action of Phoenix. Song of Phoenix Nirvana is the last chapter of the poem, and it is a bright ode.
In a word, the overall image of Fire Phoenix is symbolic. Phoenix is a symbol of China, the Chinese nation, the embodiment of young poets and all things in nature. The rebirth of Phoenix is the rebirth of China, the awakening of the Chinese nation, the birth of the poet's new self and the acquisition of the vitality of all natural things. It can be said that "Phoenix Nirvana" is a poem that announces national awakening.
