On the one hand, this poem shows the magnificent scenery of nature through the true description of natural landscape; On the other hand, the image of nature has become a sharp contrast between social reality and the spirit of the times, a symbol of the madness of the times during the May Fourth Movement, and a symbol of the spirit of the times that lashed out at the old world, old culture and old traditions. The author wants to use this poem to tell people that scientific civilization and people's awakening will eventually overthrow the old world and create a new world. This poem is magnificent in artistic conception, full of romanticism and strong sense of the times.
This poem presents the reader with the image of a giant.
The giant stands on the edge of the earth. He can overlook the earth in all directions and blow the horn that resounds all over the world. His horn is cheering for the roaring white clouds and the magnificent sunshine scenery of the Arctic Ocean, for the Pacific Ocean, which is about to push down the earth, and for Hong Tao, which is rolling in from all directions in space. The avalanche in Hong Tao has both great destructive power and equally great creativity, depending on whether people can master and control it. Look, the rolling rainbow is constantly striving to move forward, depicting "the picture scroll of power", performing "the dance of power", playing "the music of power", expressing "the poem of power" and stirring "the rhythm of power".
This is a thrilling picture of strength, an ode to strength. writing
At the time of writing this poem, the author was at Kyushu University Medical College in Fukuoka, Japan.
Studying abroad was not long after the May 4th Movement in China.
The huge "power wave" produced by the May 4th Movement crossed the Pacific Ocean.
It directly shocked Guo Moruo, a young man who always feels the pulse of the times.
Thus, his oak-like pen was given a creative opportunity to write vertically and horizontally. In poetry
The scene of rolling hearts depicted is the great voice of the May 4th Movement.
A symbol of potential. Pushing a new level is also a concrete sign of large-scale industrial production of the world trend. For China, the May 4th Movement, like rolling Hong Tao, is destroying all semi-feudal and semi-colonial ideas with great destructive power, and at the same time building a brand-new scientific and democratic modern civilization with great creativity.
[poetic theme]
This poem depicts the bright future of China as shown in the May 4th Movement. Emerging productive forces will surely defeat backward productive forces, and the great creativity of China, a "giant", will surely build a brand-new scientific and democratic modern civilization. Constantly destroying and constantly creating is the law of the development of everything.
From a more macroscopic ideological level, the world trend of large-scale industrial production is also sweeping across Japan, heading for China, and will spread to every corner of the world, which is an irresistible trend of historical progress.
The image of all the forces depicted in the poem can also be regarded as a powerful and enterprising picture of emerging productive forces defeating backward productive forces. The poet once enthusiastically praised this new productivity in the poem "The Prospect of Mount Bili" created in the same year: "Every chimney is open with black peony! Oh, oh, a famous flower of the twentieth century! The strict mother of modern civilization! " Cross-reference can help readers better understand the ideological content of this poem.
