From the ancient tomb
From the dark ages
From the other side of the stream of human death
Shake the sleeping mountains
If the steam wheel flies over the sand dunes,
The sun is rolling towards me. ...
It's hard to hide the light.
Breathe life
Let tall trees and branches dance with it.
Let the river run to it with crazy songs
I heard it when it came.
Insect pupae that sting in winter are spinning underground.
The crowd spoke loudly in the clearing.
A distant city
Call it electricity and steel.
So my heart and chest
Torn by the hand of fire
A stale soul
Abandoned by the river
I have a firm belief in human regeneration.
1937 Spring
==========================================================
The sun is rolling towards me.
Ai Qing said: "Poetry is a message sent by human beings to the future; Poetry gives mankind the courage to move towards ideals. " & gt
This is the essence of poetic beauty, which shines in the rolling wheel of history and the struggle between old and new things.
1937 spring, the poet wrote about the sun.
Poets are sensitive. Whether in a small hut or in the noisy streets of Shanghai, the poet's feelings are stretched, penetrating the complex phenomena in daily life and the joys and sorrows in personal life. The poet felt an atmosphere with grand and great colors, which touched the poet's heart and excited him.
In this historical period, China is in the contest of great changes. On the one hand, all the old forces represented by Kuomintang reactionaries, as well as the forces of foreign invaders, want to push China into darkness; On the one hand, revolutionaries and working people hope to break the old world and build a bright and free new world. Although this fierce contest is still unclear, the poet has already felt hope.
The Sun summarized this historical trend.
In this poem, the poet eulogizes the sun, eulogizes this great era, infects the readers' emotions with the poet's own emotions, and makes people feel that a new era is about to be born.
There is no doubt that the sun is a symbol in this poem.
This poem is not long, but it is magnificent. The poet created this poem from three aspects.
The first is to write the momentum of "the sun is rolling towards me".
"From the ancient tomb/from the dark ages/from the other side of the stream of human death/shocking the sleeping mountains/if the steam wheel flies over the sand dunes/the sun is rolling towards me ..."
The key to these magnificent poems is the sentence "The sun is rolling towards me", which suddenly opens a magnificent picture in front of readers. In this sentence, the key is the word "roll". With this word, its momentum suddenly came out. It can also be said that the word "roll" is the eye of the whole poem, and other poems not only revolve around this word, but also make other poems shine. Good use of the word "roll"! front
A few words are all for the sentence "The sun is rolling towards me". These poems all have a metaphor. The "sun" comes from distant history. No matter how dark and difficult this long history is, the "sun" comes with irresistible momentum. The poet pointed out here that history is unstoppable and the arrival of light is inevitable.
Second, the poet wrote about the great influence after the sun came.
"It breathes life/makes tall trees and branches dance for it/makes rivers rush at it with crazy songs//When it comes, I hear/insects and pupae that are stung in winter go underground/people talk loudly in the open fields/the city calls it from a distance/uses electricity and steel".
What the poet wants to tell readers here is that after the sun came, everything on the earth recovered and was full of vitality. This picture of the revival of all things could have been written in many ways, but the poet is as precious as gold, and it only takes a few words to describe it. Life, Towering Trees and Rivers; Insect pupa, people and city. A word, a form, constitutes a rich picture.
Thirdly, after the sun rises, the poet begins to write about himself and his feelings. These words are also written in a unique and thrilling way:
So my heart/torn by the hand of fire/stale soul/abandoned by the river/I have confidence in human regeneration.
With the arrival of the sun, the poet himself was reborn, which convinced him that human beings were reborn. Here, the poet wrote "My heart was torn apart by the hand of flame", which made people see the action and seemed to hear the sound. This word "tears" vividly describes the power of the sun flame and the determination of "I". It is not only in harmony with the style of the whole poem, but also echoes the word "roll" in front, which strengthens the strength of this poem.
The phrase "the sun is rolling towards me" in this poem was once questioned by Mr. Wen Yiduo. Mr. Wen Yiduo thinks that this poem should not be written like this, which shows a petty bourgeoisie sentiment. According to Mr Wen Yiduo, it is reasonable to write "I ran to the sun". Here, we don't say that Mr. Wen Yiduo is too harsh. Even from an artistic point of view, Mr. Wen Yiduo's advice is not enough. Because obviously, I ran to the sun, far less imposing than "the sun rolled towards me". Because "I" is small and has no luster, "the sun" is huge and radiant, and "the sun is rolling towards me" can show great momentum. Also, say poetically, "The sun is rolling towards me? Only in line with the original intention of the poem, it is written that the "sun" is active, that is to say, history is active. If the "sun" is rolled up to the present, then "I" and everything will have a chance of rebirth. ...
The poem Taiyin, with its profound connotation and broad momentum, shocked readers and became a glorious chapter in the poet's creation.
