The image of south China tiger and its symbolic significance;
The South China Tiger is the main image of this poem. It has a "gorgeous face/fiery eyes", a beautiful appearance and a strong body, but it is imprisoned in a human cage, far away from the vast mountains-its spiritual home.
It "turns its back on the timid and desperate audience,/peacefully lies in a corner", but the majesty surging in its bones oppresses and threatens the people trapped in it. Lying peacefully reveals the South China tiger's contempt for the audience and the living form represented by the audience. Whether it is "stoning to death", "yelling sharply" or "hard persuasion", "it doesn't care about anything" How can a proud soul bow to the world? -The magnificent and broad "vast mountain forest" is the destination of its soul and strength. "Those poor and ridiculous spectators" have trapped his body in prison, but how can they make him give in mentally? The reason why the "soul" of the South China Tiger feels "humiliated" is not that the audience bullied it, but that it left the free land forever and disappeared into the dirty world. It deeply tasted the suffering, desolation and hopelessness of this world, and felt endless loneliness and anger inside.
People can torture it physically, imprison it with its "strong legs" galloping around, wring its "toes and claws" full of fighting power, and cut off its strong "teeth" with a hacksaw, but the brutality of fascism can't imprison its "unruly soul" after all. "There are bloody gullies on the gray concrete wall", suggesting that it fought bravely for freedom but in vain. However, the South China Tiger will continue to fight indomitable and unrepentant, because fighting is all the sustenance and practical significance of its survival, and it is a powerful presentation of its noble soul. This kind of struggle makes me feel "dazzling and harsh", "ashamed" and feel the pain of my soul as a member of the audience. Then I heard a "rock-breaking roar" and "an unruly soul/flying over my head/flying away" in a trance. This is not only my worship of the unyielding soul of the South China Tiger, but also my awakening to the humiliating soul. The nobility of spirit will eventually overcome the meanness of the world. From that lost figure, we seem to vaguely see the hope of mankind.
