Appreciation of Ai Qing's The Waves
Do you love white waves, too-
It will chew rocks.
Even cruelly broke the oars.
Pull up the cloth sail
There is no moment of stillness.
It said smugly.
Since ancient times
The tragic story of Voyager
Maybe irrational.
But it is beautiful.
But I like white waves.
-When its foam splashed on me.
I have felt the gratitude of my relatives.

==========================================================
I like white waves.
Where there is sea, there are waves.
No matter how wide the sea is, waves are everywhere.
The poet stared at the waves, lost in thought. What is the relationship between life, society and history and this wave?
Wave, ignorance without sleep. Day after day, year after year, the waves are rolling.
The poet knows and feels. ...
The poem "Waves" came into being at the historic moment, which was produced in1May, 937 at Wusong Fort in Shanghai.
The poet has a hope in his heart, and he is looking forward to expressing it. What the poet wants is a kind of power, which is powerful, can destroy everything, can clean up all the sludge and muddy water on the earth, and can rush out of the predicament ... how to express this hope? How can we express this hope in a concentrated, vivid and vivid way? The poet saw the waves and their power. Therefore, the poet wisely seized this opportunity.
This may be an inspiration! Inspiration seems mysterious, but in fact, it often appears, can be felt, can be captured, and is true to the creator.
Inspiration is an impulse that seeds buried in the ground, nourished by nutrients and water, suddenly drill out of the ground.
Inspiration is the spark when a poet connects two things through association.
But with inspiration, it does not mean that you will get a good poem. If you want to turn inspiration into a good poem, you must also have the ability to grasp and control inspiration.
In this regard, Ai Qing has his own rich experience. After being inspired, he said, "Do your best to complete the theme you choose", "When every theme is attacked, let your feelings and thoughts fight in unison until the theme completely gives in."
That is to say, in creation, after feeling, and poetry caused by feeling, we should concentrate on thinking and imagination, and condense our thoughts and feelings into perceptual images as much as possible until the artistic image is successfully completed. This creative process is difficult, but the poet must go all out to achieve better artistic effects.
In the poem Waves, Ai Qing tried his best to complete the theme he chose.
This poem is very condensed. Concentration is the requirement of Ai Qing's poetry creation, and it is also one of the secrets of his success in writing poetry.
The poem "Waves" closely revolves around the theme. That is to write about the power of waves and praise them.
The power of writing waves is developed from two aspects. On the one hand, writing about the destructive power of waves-the waves will "crush rocks", the waves will "break oars" and "tear up cloth sails", which will cause many "tragic stories of navigators". But the poet's point is not here. The point is that the power of the waves "may be unreasonable/but it is beautiful". Why is it beautiful? The poet didn't make it clear, leaving it to the reader to think. Its significance is also reflected here.
Judging from the structure of this poem, it is also concise. From the first sentence, "Do you also love whitewater-"to "I love whitewater", it seems that this poem is just a question and answer. This is really a natural achievement, such a good poem, so inadvertently pushed to readers.
We should take a closer look at the last two lines of this poem.
But I love the white wave/-when its foam splashes on me/I am grateful to the person I love.
These last two lines play an important role in this poem. It has a great influence on the color, style and meaning of this poem.
It says in front whether others love waves. Here, I wrote about my attitude towards the waves. In addition to affirming "I love white waves", the poet further wrote about the relationship between "I" and waves, which was full of strong feelings. Not only pointed out that "I" love "waves", but also wrote that "waves" love "me": the foam splashed on me is the love of waves, so I am grateful-the gratitude of a relative. This meticulous description of details and this strong emotional intersection and exposure make this poem lively and cordial as a whole. The profound meaning of this poem has aroused readers' further thinking.
Linguistically, this poem is also very particular. The combination of virtual and real is fragmentary. The poet once described the language of poetry like this:
"The effect of language depends entirely on where the author arranges it. The relationship between language and language, like various chemical components put together, can produce completely different effects. Matches lose their function when put in water, but they will suddenly burn when put in a fire. Sometimes out of calm and rational language, putting it together with those emotional chapters and sentences will have a contrast effect, which can be used to imply that these emotional chapters and sentences are based on clear rationality. "
This view is very incisive.
Vocabulary in a language has its specific provisions, connotations and extensions. However, when it is used in poetry, it will produce various effects due to the influence of mutual relations. It depends on how skillfully the poet arranges it. Ai Qing's view of language is that language is alive, not static, so the language in poetry has ever-changing charm.
The poem "Waves" skillfully uses this language and language contrast. There is a calm and rational language in the poem: "It may be irrational/but it is beautiful." There is also an emotional language: "But I love white water-when its foam splashes on me/I am grateful to the person I love." This has changed the language and enhanced the expressive force and appeal of poetry. It also makes readers feel a feeling of excitement and pleasure, rather than boredom.
Waves are powerful, and poets expect this kind of power.
"Wave" is also powerful, and it is the poet who created this power carefully.
