Homesickness is a traditional theme in poetry creation at home and abroad, and it is also an emotion that is difficult to capture. If you can't find the corresponding image to express it, it will tend to be mediocre and abstract.
Yu Guangzhong, a poet, found an image expression method based on his emotional real context, which can be said to be through four distinct images; Stamps, tickets, graves, straits. The emotional connection of such an image; Very accurate, strong image, showing the poet's rich connotation and real strong emotional atmosphere. At the same time, I used it when I was a child, when I grew up, and later. It is commendable to compose time into an endless "homesickness" so clearly. Poetry teases me at this end/teases the mainland at that end, condensing the poet's deep nostalgia for the mainland. It is very natural to guide personal sadness and joy to the desire of national unity, which makes China people feel heartache without losing their national love. In writing form, the four sections are relatively balanced and symmetrical; Paragraph patterns and sentence patterns are relatively neat, and paragraph by paragraph and sentence by sentence are relatively harmonious and symmetrical. Coupled with the clever use of words and sentences, it shows the melodic beauty of reciprocating, singing and sighing, which makes the whole poem look like complaining and complaining, especially inflammatory. Among them, it is the four repetitions of "the land is here" and "the land is there" that stir up homesickness. In addition, in the same position in the four paragraphs, the overlapping words of teasing small land, teasing narrow land, teasing short land and teasing shallow land are used, which makes the whole poem low and hidden and progressive. Using words to tease one place, one place, one place and one bay not only shows the poet's language skills, but also strengthens the aesthetic feeling of the whole poem. For the word homesickness, it is an abstract concept, but for everyone, it is a very real emotional existence. As a whole, the poem "Homesickness" is nothing more than expressing the concern for the two places and the feeling of parting from life and death; The poet did express his life sentiment with poetry. A poem not only expresses his nostalgia for his hometown; It also tells the suffering of the homesick people on both sides of the strait. The poet's homesickness is not directly expressed, but through association and imagination, four artistic images of life are shaped and presented to readers. The author combines his thoughts and feelings for his mother, wife and motherland, and expresses his strong desire for family reunion and national unity. All the poems express Taiwan Province people's deep yearning for their hometown. As a China poet who loves the motherland and its cultural tradition, his homesickness poems inherit the national emotional tradition in China's classical poems from the inner feelings, and have a profound sense of history and nationality. At the same time, the homesickness of thousands of Qian Qian people who have been isolated and drifted to isolated islands for a long time between Taiwan Province Province and mainlanders objectively has a specific and extensive content that is unmatched by homesickness in any previous era, which makes people feel an unspeakable intimacy.
Attachment: Poet Yu Guangzhong's poem "Homesickness"
When I was a child/homesickness was a small stamp/I was here/my mother was there.
When I grow up/homesickness is a narrow ticket/I am here/the bride is there.
Later/homesickness was a low grave/I was outside/my mother was inside.
Now/homesickness is a shallow strait/I am here/the mainland is there.
After the war broke out in 1937, 10-year-old Yu Guangzhong moved to Shanghai and Chongqing with his parents.
At the age of 22, Yu Guangzhong came to Taiwan Province Province with his family and was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University.
Although Yu Guangzhong majored in foreign languages, he has a keen interest in China traditional culture. He has written a lot in poetry, prose, criticism and translation, among which poetry is the most outstanding achievement. People commented that his poems had a wide range of themes, varied styles and varied techniques, and integrated traditional and modern brushwork, China and the West. Therefore, he is regarded as one of the top ten modernist poets in Taiwan Province Province.
197 1 year, Yu Guangzhong, who hasn't returned to the mainland for more than 20 years, was homesick and wrote a poem in his former residence in Xiamen Street, Taipei. After writing, the poet was full of tears and thoughtfully for a long time. This is the "Homesickness" sung by overseas wanderers later.
Yu Guangzhong, from Yongchun, Fujian, 1928, from Nanjing, Jiangsu. 1947 joined the Foreign Languages Department of Jinling University (later transferred to Xiamen University), 1949 moved to Hong Kong with his parents, and went to Taiwan to study in the Foreign Languages Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University the following year. 1953, he, Qin zihao and others * * * founded the blue star poetry club. Later, he went to the United States for further study and obtained a master's degree in art from the University of Iowa. After returning to Taiwan Province, he became a professor at Normal University, Chengda University, National Taiwan University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is currently the Dean of Art College of Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan. Yu Guangzhong is a complicated and changeable poet, and his changing track can basically be said to be a trend of the whole poetry circle in Taiwan Province for more than 30 years, that is, westernization first and then regression. In the early poetry debates in Taiwan Province and the rural literature debates in the mid-1970s, Yu Guangzhong's poetry theory and creation showed a strong tendency of advocating westernization, ignoring readers and being divorced from reality. As he himself said, when he was a teenager, his pen was touched with the aftermath of Heaton Ling Ke or the Thames. 1842 The brewing industry was nothing more than wine. After 1980s, he began to realize the importance of his national living place to his creation, and extended his poems back to that continent to tease and write many homesick poems. His attitude towards local literature also changed from opposition to kindness, showing an obvious trajectory of returning from west to east, so he was called the prodigal son's return place in Taiwan Province province. From the perspective of poetic art, Yu Guangzhong is an artistic polygamous poet. His works are extremely inconsistent in style. Generally speaking, his poetic style varies from subject to subject. Poems expressing will and ideals are generally magnificent and powerful, while works describing homesickness and love are generally delicate and soft. He has written more than ten kinds of poems such as Elegy of Zhou Zi, Blue Feather, Stalactite, Halloween, White Jade and Bitter Melon.
