The appearance in the season is like the opening and falling of lotus flowers.
The east wind won't come.
The catkins in March can't fly
Your heart is like a little lonely city.
Like a bluestone street facing the night.
The sound is silent.
The spring of March is not revealed.
Your center of the earth is a small closed window.
My dada horseshoe is a beautiful mistake.
I am not a returnee.
It's a poem "Wrong" by passerby Zheng Chouyu, which is light and clear, and it is still a masterpiece. If Zheng Chouyu's works can arouse people's deepest feelings, nothing more than beauty and affection, then the poem Wrong can be described as one of them, which has established the poet's position and influence in Taiwan's poetry circles.
When I first read this poem, the first thing I felt was its China. This is an absolute China poem, a poem belonging to China people, which tells an eternal and beautiful story of China. Therefore, although the shell of this poem flaunts the modernism of western learning spreading to the east, there is no doubt that it conveys a deeper traditional consciousness of China. The poem Mistakes can be said to inherit the tradition of China's ancient palace grievances and in my heart forever's poems. In the poem, the hero "I" rode to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving a woman to live alone in an empty boudoir, waiting for her lover "I" to return day and night. However, the spoony affection of the woman has brought a long and boring wait. Therefore, her heart is "like a lonely small city", and there is no "east wind" to deliver news for her, and there is no "catkin" flying all over the sky in spring; Therefore, her heart is a "small window", always paying attention to the "sound" on Qingshi Road, and you can see the colorful spring scenery outside the window without even lifting the curtains. In Liu Yuxi's "Ci of Spring", "Zhu Lou's new makeup should go down, and the first hospital in spring is deeply locked" seems to have the same effect as the above grievances, subtle and far-reaching. Finally, I came back. Dada's hoof looks beautiful to her, because the lover who looked forward to it day and night came back, but in a blink of an eye, this infinite joy turned into infinite disappointment. Because "I" was just passing by, not "going home". This "beautiful mistake" played a trick on her, as if heaven had played a trick on her. Perhaps, some people will understand the "I" in the poem as the sorrow of the prodigal son's homelessness, and this understanding is not unreasonable. In that turbulent era, Taiwan Province people's mentality was wandering, waiting for a place one day. They are just a passer-by on the island of Taiwan Province Province, thinking that one day they can return to their hometown to reunite with their relatives. However, due to political reasons, their wishes could not be realized, resulting in a sense of loss and melancholy. However, if we try to compare Zheng Chouyu's other poems with errors, it is not difficult to find strong circumstantial evidence. For example, in Zheng Chouyu's Little Three, lines such as "I think loneliness and waiting are good for women" and "Because I am not the kind of person who often goes home" all show the theme that women stay in the boudoir and wait for the protagonist to return. In another poem, The Slave Outside the Window, "I am the God of the South, with my bare arms wrapped in a gauze-like night. Therefore, the star hanging on my wrist is my female slave ",which also tells the sad mood of women waiting for men to return in the long and lonely years." "
Mistake has nine lines and 94 words. The whole article is not long, but its artistic skills are not only praised, but also recited orally. Structurally, it implies two clues: vertical and horizontal. The obvious vertical line is from large view to small view, with distinct layers. The first two sentences are set in the vast south of the Yangtze River, then the camera moves to the small town, then to the streets, curtains and window leaves, and finally falls on the horseshoe, breaking the silence ahead. This writing is quite similar to the spatial treatment in Liu Zongyuan's Jiang Xue, from the big scene of "there are no birds in the mountains" to the small scene of fishermen fishing alone in the middle of the river, which pushed the poem to a climax. Judging from the horizontal line, the first two sentences should be the end. It is precisely because "I" walked from Jiangnan to that woman's place and didn't go in. The woman's expectation of "face like lotus" became disheartened. The last two sentences should have been "I'm not a passer-by, just a passer-by", so "my horseshoe is a beautiful mistake". Here the poet used a small inversion sentence. This arrangement has created an uneven level of structure, which is more poetic and shines brightly in disharmony. Another touching thing about this poem is the beauty of its language, especially the words "beautiful mistakes". This sentence is inherently contradictory. The horseshoe of Dada sings the deep heart of women's hope for reunion, so it is beautiful. However, the horseshoe just passed in front and didn't stop for her expectation. This is a mistake. This ups and downs, back and forth reversal scene, has produced a high degree of drama, but also formed a refreshing ups and downs. If it is associated with the China nature of this poem, it is similar to the artistic conception expressed by William Wang's "Glowing glass of grapes and wine, urging you to drink pipa immediately". At the same time, Zheng Chouyu also used the images in China's traditional classical poems, such as "Lotus", "Catkin", "Horseshoe" and "Spring Festival". In particular, the image of "East Wind" is taken from Li Shangyin's untitled book "It was a long time before I met her, but it was even longer after we broke up". The implication of "the east wind rises and a hundred flowers blossom" once again shows the most fundamental nature of China in Zheng Chouyu. Yang Mu's long article "The Legend of Zheng Chouyu" says: "Zheng Chouyu is a China poet in China, and he writes with good China characters, which is accurate in image, gorgeous in voice and absolutely modern", emphasizing the China nature of Zheng Chouyu's poetic language, thus reflecting China's thoughts and feelings. Pure writing is another advantage of this poem. When talking about poetry writing skills, Zheng Chouyu said: "When writing poetry, you should be loyal to yourself, not bluffing. If you are not sure about yourself, it is disloyal. " Therefore, Zheng Chouyu's Wrong emphasizes purity and neatness, freshness and lightness, and does not play word games or make up words, trying to express the poet's most faithful feelings with the most faithful words. This is a true and sincere poem. Mistake still touches the heartstrings of countless readers. I think the most important factor is not to win with words, but to impress people with its inner feelings. This kind of emotion is not disguised or carved, which makes the scene harmonious and consistent in the poem and has endless artistic appeal.
