At the beginning of the poem, the image of "golden rice bunch" is used to illustrate the harvest situation in autumn, and then the rice bunch is set up with the word "station"; Next, use the image of "tired mother" as a metaphor, and compare mother to a bundle of golden rice. The two are somewhat similar in nature. The rice bundles cut in autumn are like a mother who has gone through vicissitudes. At this time, the witness of vicissitudes is wrinkles, but these wrinkles are beautiful, which increases the author's praise for motherhood and praises their greatness and selflessness. In addition, the juxtaposition of "wrinkle" and "beauty" means eulogizing the mother's labor and lamenting the passage of time.
Next, I wrote about the full moon on the harvest day. The "full moon" set off people's feelings of joy because of the harvest. The following author gives us a broad artistic conception. But it seems that the author is not simply describing the environment. "No statue can be more silent than this" shows that there seems to be some philosophical significance. Perhaps it is the author's thinking about history.
"Great fatigue is on my shoulders" once again shows the greatness of my mother. Rice bunches are meditating in autumn fields, that is, mother is meditating. What is she thinking? We don't know, but we can get a glimpse of it. Mother is very satisfied after seeing the harvest in autumn, so she can have no complaints. She traded her maternal love for a bumper harvest.
The last few sentences really have a certain philosophical depth, comparing history to a long river, and my mother is the patron saint standing by the river to protect the river, which further enhances my praise for my mother.
On the whole, the whole poem revolves around the image of "golden rice bunch", and conveys a time theme-meditation on the disappearance of vitality in labor and praise for motherhood through the spatial displacement of rice fields, roads, sky and distant mountains.
About the author:
Zheng Min (1920-), a native of Minhou, Fujian, graduated from the philosophy department of The National SouthWest Associated University in 1943. 65438-0952, master's degree in English literature from Brown University. After returning to China, he worked in the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences. After 1960, he taught English and American literature in the Foreign Languages Department of Beijing Normal University. 1948 published poetry anthology: 1942- 1947, and became an important female poet of the Nine Leaves School.
Under the guidance of Feng Zhi, Zheng Min had a lifelong bond with philosophy and Rilke's poetry. She likes reading Rilke's poems, especially Rilke's masterpiece Leopard. Like Rilke, she always thinks about the universe and life from everyday things and sets it in a static and flexible artistic conception. Every painting seems to be a sketch of a still life, and the poet's clear wisdom and silent philosophical thinking are condensed in a sculptural image. The Golden Rice Bundle written before the founding of the People's Republic of China is such a work.
From the early days of the People's Republic of China to 1979, Zheng Min stopped writing new poems. After the Third Plenary Session, inspired by the times and encouraged by her friends, she wrote a new poem, and published a collection of poems, Mind Image, Search Collection and a poem monograph, Poetry and Philosophy are Neighbors. The sonnet The Poet and Death was written after the death of her poet friend Tang Qi, which is a continuation of her early philosophical thinking on life and death. Through the death of Tang Qi, the whole poem pays attention to and thinks about the same fate of contemporary intellectuals in China: "We are all flamingos/we have been stepping on the red flame all our lives/we have gone through hell and burned down the overpass/we didn't utter a groan of losing our identity/however, we envy flamingos/we find sweet water in the grass/there is boundless sky in the grass/they will suddenly take off/behind bright red thin feet." As soon as the poem was published, it attracted favorable comments, saying that "this group of poems is not too sad and gentle, and the well-organized sonnets are as strict, calm and inevitable as the March of Death itself, but they are secretly full of anger, sadness, sighs, curses, eddies and undercurrents of various emotions". It can be seen that Zheng Min's poetic philosophical observation on the issue of life and death is based on her own unique life feelings, and is by no means a philosophical statement, which truly realizes the poetic pursuit of intellectuals' life.
