2. Appreciation:
In the first section, the author at this time is that "leaving home as a teenager" is a study, with no vicissitudes of life, and a little feeling of "a teenager doesn't know the taste of sorrow" and more attachment to his mother;
in the second section, the wife is a relative who has been together for a lifetime, and the bride is the beautiful scenery that she enjoys most in her life. When reading aloud, we should pay attention to the warmth and watery tenderness in the faint sadness;
In the third section, vibrato is used appropriately to express a kind of deep sorrow.
in the fourth section, at the end of the article, the poet sublimated from personal joys and sorrows to thoughts of home and country: at this time, it is like music reaching its climax! Therefore, it is necessary to read it with a lot of twists and turns. In particular, the last sentence should be a word at a time, the tone should rise, and the "in-that-head" should be constantly flowing, and the feeling of passion and generosity should be read.
Yu Guangzhong chose four images of "stamp", "boat ticket", "grave" and "strait" from his personal life to express his feelings. This image seems ordinary, but it contains full poetry:
stamp-mother's affectionate (strong) boat ticket-husband and wife's loving (warm)
grave- Concentrating homesickness on four small and light objects just reflects the poet's deep homesickness.
The whole poem is composed of poems with the change of time, with the spatial barrier as the common feature of these four stages, and the poetic sentiment is promoted and sublimated layer by layer, and finally the homesickness is raised to the angle of nation and country.
