Punctuation marks in Ai Qing's poetry collection "Handcart"

Ai Qing is an important poet in the history of modern literature in China. The deep and melancholy lyrical style in his works made the 1930s and 1940s the Ai Qing era. Handcart is a new poem written by Ai Qing at the beginning of 1938. At that time, Japan had invaded China in an all-round way, and the people in the north were living in dire straits. At this time, Ai Qing witnessed the sufferings of the people in the Yellow River valley from south to north and wrote this poem.

In the poem, the tram, as an observer, walks from one foot of the mountain to the other and from one village to another. It passed through cold, loneliness, vastness and desert, but found that there was not much difference between these places. These places are full of noise, mixed with the sadness of the people in the north and the rich colors of the people. In the poem, the Yellow River, as the mother river, dried up, and the originally warm village was also covered with ice and snow, leaving the vast land lifeless. Not only the observed object is heavy, but also the observer himself has dignity. On the way of its observation, in the face of this heavy human situation, it sent a piercing and soul-stirring scream to the sky, leaving a deep rut on the gray loess layer. But it is unique and independent, so such screams and dignity have not been answered.

The feelings in "Handcart" are deep and dignified, but the language of his poems is plain and smooth, and the full passion is hidden in plain words, which seems to be quiet before the storm, but the feelings are extremely tense. In the poem, it is very representative to express the people's sorrow with unicycle, Yellow River and the earth. The Yellow River is the mother river of life, trolleys are the means of transportation for production and life, and the earth is the foundation of survival. All this is now shrouded in the shadow of war and destroyed by the enemy's iron hoof. The author uses ideas related to the people, and the picture is dignified and profound, showing the pain of people's lives.

Of course, the popularity of Ai Qing's poems is not only manifested in intentional language, but also in his own emotional voice. Like a wheelbarrow, the author witnessed the sufferings of the people. He is not only a witness to everything, but also experienced all the pain. He does not describe people's sufferings from a purely third-party perspective, but goes through everything with the people. He has a low profile and cares for the people. This emotional tendency runs through Ai Qing's poetry works and poetry theory.

In Ai Qing's poems, the land and the sun are two important poetic intentions. On the brown land, there are both hopes for farming and trampling by the enemy. It witnessed the historical memory of rural areas in China and the disastrous fate of the nation. Its meaning is rich and heavy, and the sun represents light and warmth. In a specific historical background, it symbolizes hope. The author not only deeply sympathizes with and laments the sufferings of the nation and people, but also is full of hope for the future of the country, expressing the people's truest feelings and giving them hope for continuous progress. This may be the reason why Ai Qing's poems can become the mainstream of the times and directly affect the July Poetry School.
