Xu Zhimo uses rich colors and images to make his poems present a kind of picture beauty. This poem uses colors such as gold and cyan, and uses images such as "clouds, sunset, willows, green grass, aquatic plants, elm shade, rainbow and starlight" to give people color and imagination. The poet is very good at choosing and deploying images, which makes the whole picture have a sense of harmony and unity. While describing the natural scenery, the poet's own feelings are integrated into it, which makes this poem reach the realm of unity of things and me. From this point, we can see the poetic origin of Xu Zhimo's traditional poetry and English romantic poetry in the19th century. Xu Zhimo was influenced by a lot of traditional culture in his early years. China's traditional poems and paintings pay attention to expressing his will, and he is good at using various images to euphemistically express people's thoughts and feelings. At the same time, influenced by the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, he paid attention to the harmony between heaven and earth, natural scenery and human beings, that is, the highest state of "the unity of things and me" or "the unity of man and nature", such as Ma Zhiyuan's poem "Tianjingsha Qiu Si", which is both a poet and a painter. Wang Wei, admired by Xu Zhimo, is even more praised as a poet who has "painting in poetry and poetry in painting". At the same time, Xu Zhimo studied in England when he was young, and was influenced by English romantic poetry in19th century. These poems not only describe natural scenery, but also advocate expressing personal feelings. Xu Zhimo integrated these two kinds of poetry resources, and at the same time, he directly expressed his own feelings, thus forming this poem with images and personal feelings intertwined. Make "Biekangqiao" have the characteristics of Chinese and western integration and the poetic realm of mastery.
2. Music beauty:
Poetry is originally an art form used for chanting or singing, and a large part of its aesthetic feeling comes from smooth musicality. Xu Zhimo attaches great importance to this point. He once said:
"... understanding the life of poetry lies in its internal rhythm, so that we can understand the true interest of poetry; No matter how noble your thoughts are and how passionate your emotions are, you must thoroughly use them to' musicalize' (that is, poeticize) in order to gain an understanding of poetry, … "(Poetry Publishing Holiday).
The musicality of poetry is mainly formed by the rhythm of poetry. In this poem, it is mainly composed of rhyme, tone level, reduplication, truth, echo from beginning to end and so on. Rhyme is the most important point. This poem adopts a flexible rhyme. The whole poem is not limited to seven squares and one rhyme, with two or four rhymes in each square, and the first verse rhymes with the last verse, forming an echo. At the same time, each class has four lines, and each line has two or three meals. The use of tone levels is also generally flexible and unified. At the same time, these poems also use the overlapping words and realistic techniques in China's traditional poems. The application of these techniques makes this poem form a smooth sense of music.
3. The beauty of architecture:
In the form of poetry, Wen Yiduo, the proponent of "three beauties", adopted unified paragraphs and sentence patterns. Compared with early vernacular poems and Guo Moruo's poems, such as the poem "Dead Water", there are five paragraphs, four sentences in each paragraph and nine words in each sentence, which is very rigorous. However, different language and different emotions from classical poetry make this strict form limit the normal play of poetry. And Xu Zhimo obviously surpassed these two. His poems are partly free and harmonious in form. Farewell to Cambridge consists of seven sections, each with four sentences, and one or three sentences in each section are basically the same as two or four sentences. The content and form of the preceding and following paragraphs echo each other. This flexible and harmonious form not only takes care of the artistry of poetry, but also gives full play to the author's talent.
Xu Zhimo's poems highly realized the "three beauties" advocated by the Crescent School, which made the poetry of new poetry reach an unprecedented height after the early vernacular poetry and Guo Moruo's poetry, and promoted the artistic development of China's new poetry.
