Common jasmine orange
Xi Murong, Taiwan Province Province, China
This stream is eager to flow to the ocean.
The tide is eager to return to land.
In front of the hedge with green trees and white flowers
I waved goodbye so easily.
After 20 years of changes,
Our souls come back every night.
When the breeze blows.
It became a garden full of fragrance.
Creation background
"Poetry can be clearly stated, but it is usually unclear." Writing Qilixiang was the quietest moment in Xi Murong's life. It was the age of reading, falling in love, getting married and having children, and only a little homesickness. Feeling very sensitive and pure is the most refreshing moment in life. The sketch illustrations in the poem Li Qixiang were also drawn by her when she put the children to sleep. A pen, a notebook, put it by the bed and draw at any time and place. Children are quiet, too. They fell asleep with satisfaction when they saw their mother holding a pen. Until now, looking back on his old works, Xi Murong is still grateful to himself. "Fortunately, I wrote Qilixiang at the age of 36. I am glad that I wrote it when I wanted to write. Many people will regret it, but I don't. I feel very lucky, I left Qilixiang on the road. "
Appreciation of poetry: chasing dreams and staying young, returning home after vicissitudes of life.
The content of this poem can be summed up in one sentence: "Pursuing dreams is young and parting, and vicissitudes are old." Its structure is also clear at a glance: the first section uses metaphor to control the whole poem, and the specific descriptions of the last two sections explain the meaning of the first two sentences respectively.
"Streams are eager to flow to the ocean waves but eager to return to land", and rivers and waves are a pair of opposing images. The river represents youth and frivolity, represents indomitable spirit, represents ignorance of the taste of sadness, and sees the sea and the outside world, so it will ignore it and rush to the ocean; The waves that have been drifting at sea for many years are tired of wandering, so they will be eager to return to land. This pair of enemies have different ideas and views. In fact, they are doomed to break up.
"I waved goodbye easily in front of the hedge of green trees and white flowers." When we first fell in love, we didn't understand love. It may be just for a word, or it may be because of a casual quarrel, so we broke up decisively. How sad and sad it is to break up in front of green trees and white flowers in the spring when everything is reviving.
