3. The author
Gu Cheng
Extended data 1, appreciated.
There are only two sentences in the whole poem, and the images in the poem are very common phenomena in daily life: night, eyes and light. Because of this, this poem has a thoughtful charm. Two novel combinations, seemingly contradictory turning points, contain wonderful rationality.
The poet gave this poem with only two sentences a grand and intriguing title: a generation. But the content of the poem seems to point to two generations: it is not only a summary and reflection of the previous generation, but also a call and guidance for the next generation.
This poem also fully embodies the artistic characteristics of Gu Cheng's poems in artistic techniques and is unique in the construction of images. Poets use images closely related to life feelings in their lives and express their fresh experiences of the world, life and life with unexpected combinations.
He also tried to express his feelings with clear and simple words and sentences to avoid obscure and other abusive pollution in poetic language.
Two short poems summarize the psychological course of a generation and express the denial of dark politics and the yearning and pursuit of light. This poem strongly proves that poetry is the essence of art, its ideological content is highly concentrated and its artistic expression is highly purified, which makes it have strength and capacity that novels, essays and other styles do not have.
