-Appreciation of Mu Dan's Spring

spring
peony
Green flames are swaying on the grass,
He longs to hug you, flower.
Against the background of the earth, flowers bloom,
When the warm wind blows trouble or joy.
If you are awake, open the window,
Look at how beautiful this garden full of desire is.
Under the blue sky, fascinated by eternal mystery.
It's our 20-year-old closed body,
Like the song of a bird made of clay,
You're angry, but you have nowhere to go.
Oh, light, shadow, sound and color are all naked,
Pain, waiting for a new combination.
In Mu Dan's Spring, we read a different "spring": it is awakening, the first birth and rebirth, but it is also the temptation of desire and addiction; It is the joy of flying songs, but also the stagnant soil and closed body; It is burning, dispersion, resistance, and a new combination and new rebirth after being dispersed. It is the natural spring, the youth of life, the budding of the poet's spring heart and the poetic generate, and the fusion of dawn, early spring and twenty-year-old youth. They are like the nakedness of light, shadow, sound and color and the ripples of senses and thoughts, and their new combination will be more beautiful and charming.
This poem shows "three beauties". Dynamic beauty: words such as flame, swaying, longing and hugging show the vitality of spring; Static beauty: green, earth, grass, flowers and other words are the eternal characteristics of spring; The beauty of opposition: the opposition between "awakening" and "confusion" is the opposition between the restless desire of adolescence and the contemplative image of the poet. These constitute the lyric tone of poetry, which is profound, solid and full of modernity. At the same time, the poet expresses his fascination and expectation for a new life and his strong impulse-waking up/intoxicated, stagnation/flying, laying a foundation/getting rid of it-through vivid images related to "spring" (green/flame, embrace/resistance, land/flowers).
Spring is beautiful, but it is fleeting. In the face of beauty, life will be shorter. The only thing is to grow up in infatuation and see the hope of having a beautiful youth in expectation!
