Trees on the edge of the cliff
Ceng Zhuo
I don't know what strange wind it is.
Blow a tree over there—
The end of the plain
On the cliff near the deep valley
It listens to the sound of the distant forest.
The singing of the stream in the deep valley
It stood there alone.
Appear lonely and stubborn
Its bent body.
Leave the shape of the wind
It seems that it is about to fall into a deep valley.
But it's like spreading your wings and flying.

This poem was written in
1970
In 2000, it was shrouded in the shadow of the Cultural Revolution, and the poem "The Tree on the Cliff" passed.
The Tree on the Cliff created the image of an intellectual in China, who suffered great hardships in that deep era, but still persisted in his beliefs.
Elephant.
This poem is a confession of the victim's inner feelings and life beliefs.
Express your firm belief in adversity.
about
For a tree or a person,
It is entirely possible to be swallowed up or destroyed by the "strange wind".
However, beliefs and ideals are indispensable.
Something that can be seized,
The pursuit of truth is also unstoppable.
This is how the whole poem expresses the knowledge of that era.
The inner cry of intellectuals is exciting to read.
Second, poetry appreciation.
"I don't know what strange wind blew the tree over there."
This poem creates a kind of loneliness from the beginning.
Cool air,
In such an environment,
The trees on the cliff look so lonely and helpless.
It seems very noisy.
Abandoned by the world. The wind is strange, and the poet said, "I don't know what it is."
But I think readers can understand. Start like this.
Write,
Not only euphemistically and naturally pointed out the writing intention and background reasons,
It also contains a slight meaning of wanting to promote first and then suppress.
The weirder the wind is.
Destroy trees, the more trees are reborn in destruction, and so on, highlighting the tenacity of trees.
However, lonely and helpless trees can only silently "listen to the noise of distant forests and the singing of deep valleys and streams"
, but it
Not suppressed and destroyed. Its strong character makes it survive more tenaciously,
"Standing there alone, looks very lonely.
Obscure and stubborn "
. It still maintains its love for life, and it is talking: the forest in the distance is noisy and the stream in the valley is singing.
This is a song of life, a voice of nature and a voice of people, and no "strange wind" can stop it. Life has its own melody, calendar.
History has its own laws, the world has its own voice, and the trees on the cliff are listening to all this.
When the years left a deep mark on it,
When the bent body leaves the shape of the wind,
Just when others think
When it is about to go to rolling in the deep, worried and fearful,
He used it as the starting point for spreading his wings and flying.
Rise up in adversity,
Desperately looking for
Pray for hope.
The scene described in the first part of the poem is a kind of loneliness
Loneliness,
Sadness.
But the whole poem shows a kind of
Positive thinking, a spirit of striving for progress. Although the tree "stands there alone"
"It looks lonely."
However, it is
It shows a "stubborn" character, and when everyone thinks it is "about to fall into the deep valley", it "seems to fly high"
Through this finishing touch, the whole poem turns around, and the fate of the tree has taken a huge turn, giving people a vigorous and upward force.
Through the organic combination of "falling into the deep valley" and "spreading your wings and flying", it is close to the readers' heartstrings.
Contradiction embodies the true meaning of life,
Reflect the plain life in the plain. The whole poem is not just about trees.
"Spread your wings and fly" but also
This is human's "spreading wings and flying"
. The same is true of life, looking for hope in disappointment and seeking survival in extinction. This is the only thing.
Strong.
Third, writing skills and artistic style.
The poet skillfully condensed life into a tree by metonymy, and told people with this unique metaphor: life.
Like a tree,
Destined to bear many storms alone,
Happy endings are often after thrilling experiences.
the key is
We have enough confidence!
Trees on the edge of the cliff,
Is the poet's self-image,
It also represents those who are indomitable in adversity.
The image of a man who does not scratch. You can imagine the lonely and painful days in the poet's experience.
In such a difficult situation, still
Being able to make an impassioned voice and stand firm is the power of the New Year.
The whole poem is short and powerful, with simple language, no noise and no affectation. Sharp thinking, natural and unrestrained writing, shaping.
Vivid image. The thoughts and feelings of this poem are not directly expressed, but pinned on the description of "things" in nature, which is implicit and conscious.
However.
The whole poem gives the author profound and frank feelings.
And a free and easy attitude towards life,
This adds some perseverance to the whole poem.
Will,
Reading makes people have a passion for progress.
Although that page of history is a thing of the past,
But the cliff created by the poet
The image of the tree next to it is unforgettable.
This is really too much. You can enjoy modern poetry by yourself. If it's too long, you won't copy it all.
