The whole poem "Birds" revolves around the image of "birds". "Fly in front of the window, fly in the forest/fly in the willow smoke in the morning/bird, take me down to Oracle Bone Inscriptions//"The poet's eyes pay attention to the birds in the air, everywhere in the window and among the willows in the forest. It is this spirit that flies around the world that attracts the poet's attention. Here, the bird is not only a symbol of the poet's self-poetry, but also a symbol of life. The reason why the poet chose such an image and concentrated such a heavy life image on lively and light birds is not only to make us feel the fragility of life under the unknown Oracle, but also to arouse our cherish of life and tell us the value of life.
In the second section below, the language of these four lines is clear and easy to understand, and similes, metaphors or other rhetorical devices are not used, but we can get extremely rich and complicated aesthetic feeling in the poem. "Birds, is it your visit in the flight, or/and my look back in the flight? /Is your feather flapping me, or/am I flapping your wings? //"The bird is flying and I am flying; You are visiting, I am looking back; Your feathers beat me and I beat your wings? As a whole, birds use a relatively complementary structural form. Each line constitutes an independent dynamic picture, but the pictures are staggered and closely related to other pictures. It is both opposite and complementary, which inspires us to think: does the bird touch the poet's inspiration, or does the bird fly with the poet? As Jacobson, a structural linguist, said, "The skill of poetry can catapult the principle of equivalence from the axis of choice to the axis of combination". In this way, the reader's aroused attention has gained an intervening understanding between the transformation and aggregation of poetry at all levels. This also shows us the similarities between Birds and Bian's Broken Chapters.
The bird is at the window, I am at the window/the bird is in the forest, I am in the forest//. So the poet and the bird flew together. Birds are free, poets are free, and the tension of life is relieved at this time. Without flowery rhetoric and insincerity, the poet only used the simple word 14 to outline the leisure and tranquility of life, so that people and birds reached a natural "harmony between man and nature" without me. This can not but make people admire the poet's extraordinary understanding and understanding of life and life.
"Infinite space/endless desire//",at the end of the poem, the poet didn't dwell too much on skills, but expressed the infinite vitality and endless pursuit of freedom with plain but implicit words, which made us have endless aftertaste in this sincere emotion, simple style and profound artistic conception.
