Hui'an Woman
——Shu Ting
Wildfire is in the distance, far away
In your amber eyes
Using ancient tribal silver ornaments
Restraining the soft waist
Although happiness is unpredictable, it is a girl’s dream
It is like a dandelion Slowly falling on the sea
Ah, the waves are endless
Born not to talk about suffering
It does not mean that suffering has disappeared forever
Being a dongxiao In the evening light with pipa
Awakening the universal sadness
You gently bite the corner of the scarf in your mouth
Standing gracefully between the sea and the sky< /p>
What is overlooked: your bare feet
The alkaline beaches and rocks that you have stepped on
So, in the cover and illustrations
You become the scenery, you become the legend
The aesthetic space of classic texts is deep and broad, the interpretation of classic texts can often be multi-dimensional, and the meanings are also multi-layered. Therefore, classics can be interpreted many times. It still has a long lasting charm and is always new. It is both possible and necessary to interpret the classic poetry text of Shu Ting's "Hui'an Women".
Hui'an, Fujian, is historically a "poem." It is a place where there are nine droughts in ten years and nine floods in ten years. It is relatively closed and poor, and the folk customs have a strong feudal flavor. For example, a woman cannot see her husband before marriage, and she still cannot live with him after marriage. There are only a few days a year. There are many restrictions in their lives, and some details are difficult for modern people to believe. History has left shocking records of collective suicides. Hui'an women have a low social status, a harsh living environment, and are always under constraints. But from the outside world, they are under restrictions. Come, they wear square scarves, bamboo hats, short jackets, and silver belts. Their ancient and beautiful costumes, coupled with their natural and graceful figures, are a beautiful sight. Hui'an women have won widespread surprise and admiration from the world. , so they appeared "between the covers and illustrations, becoming landscapes and legends."
Poets have a particularly sensitive sense and will find life insights that are different from others in details. Shu Ting, as a woman. With keen insight, she experienced the most extraordinary emotions in the most ordinary life. She passed through the world's surprise and admiration, gained insight into the unique trauma in the hearts of Hui'an women, and used poetry to protest against the world's hardships for the Hui'an women.
1. Text analysis
"Wildfire is far away, far away
In your amber eyes"
< p>There are only these two sentences in the first stanza of the poem, but the meaning is profound and eternal. Wildfire means the desire for life, but it can only burn in the "eyes" of the Hui'an woman. It is the deeply sad gaze of the Hui'an woman; and the "amber eyes" make us feel her beauty, crystal clear and fragile, full of melancholy and sadness. In fact, here, time has passed, the antiquity of the "distant place" is superimposed on the women of Hui'an, and the female images of the ancient nation emerge from the surface of history. Such tragic emotions are attached with a strong sense of history, lasting for thousands of years, and the pain seems difficult to change.The second section, "The soft waist is restrained by the silver ornaments of the ancient tribe", the graceful figure of the Hui'an woman is the "restraint" from the "ancient tribe". Here, "silver ornaments" become an image imbued with the poet's subjective emotions, symbolizing the local rich feudal customs. "Although happiness is unpredictable, a girl's dream/is like a dandelion falling slowly on the sea/oh, the waves are endless." The poet created the illusion of "happiness" and came in and out of the girl's dream, but happiness is so far away and unattainable. It floats on the sea like a dream. What fate can the tidbits of "Bo Gongying" have in the turbulent sea? The poet no longer needs to say, "Oh, the waves are boundless" to show everything! These pictures are misty and elegant, but have profound and sharp connotations. Countless sorrows pierce the readers' hearts like countless swords and halberds, causing infinite desolation.
The third verse, "Being born not to talk about suffering/It does not mean that suffering has disappeared forever/When the dongxiao and pipa play in the evening light/Awaken ordinary sadness/You gently bite the corner of the turban in your mouth", It vividly and artistically shows the trauma in the hearts of Hui'an women. The setting sun shines in the evening, and the flute and pipa are played in the loneliness. This music has awakened the sadness in the hearts of Hui'an women many times. However, they can only "bite the corner of the headscarf gently in their mouths" and endure it silently, swallowing their deep sorrow. Ancient songs quietly woven into this desolate "evening light". At the same time, the poet also used the beautiful and fascinating "Dong Xiao and Pipa", "Evening Photo" and the graceful posture of the Hui'an woman to reflect the long and lingering sadness deep in his heart. All this gives readers endless aftertaste experiences, leaving them wanting more.
In the last section, Hui'an women are "virtuous" on the inside and beautiful on the outside. They have naturally become the "scenery" and the object of admiration for people.
However, the poet is not trying to echo the secular point of view. The poet uses "beautiful" and "neglect", "between sea and sky" and "alkaline beach" and "reef" to contrast the two sets of words that ignore the Hui'an woman. The so-called "landscape and legend" expressed in the "cover and illustrations" of True Destiny is a kind of irony and revelation, gentle but extremely powerful! This is a not easy song played with dongxiao and pipa. It is a song of humanity.
2. Beyond the text
As one of the leaders of the misty poetry creation group, Shu Ting's poems must have many places that can be explored deeply. Although "Hui'an Women" is not necessarily a "hazy" poem, it can still give us a deeper and more profound connotation besides what is presented on the surface of the text.
Shu Ting is a female poet with modern consciousness. The direction of revelation in "Hui'an Women" will not be limited to the representation of Hui'an women who exist in a corner of Fujian. She should have a broader presupposition of expression. , this expanded presupposition should first be a deep concern for the fate of women as a whole. As a woman, Shu Ting should have a deep understanding of the constraints that the inertia of life has on women. One of them is the inhumane demands placed on women by the inertia of feudal tradition. The second, more recent and more obvious constraint is the deprivation of women’s love autonomy in society before the reform and opening up. Many times we will think of this scene: a leading party cadre falls in love with a girl, and he will talk to her. If the girl is not a party member, then he will ask her to marry him for the revolution; if she is a party member, he will ask her to marry him for the revolution; Party members, then he will tell him that two people need to develop a relationship that is more advanced than party members. Of course, there is no other explanation for this except love. Shu Ting came out of the "Cultural Revolution" and she was well aware of the many regulations on women in that era. Therefore, from this perspective, "silver jewelry" is not only a bad feudal custom that restrains Hui'an women, but also a "new tradition" that existed during the "Cultural Revolution" era.
When we expand the theme of "Hui'an Women" again, we will discover a broader world. As a person who came out of the "Cultural Revolution" era, I have a deep and painful imprint of this era in my heart1. It was a crazy and disorderly era that left many people with lifelong painful scars. It was an era without freedom, and everyone was entangled by many roots. Coming out of the "Cultural Revolution" was like walking from the dark night into the sunshine. Shu Ting is a lyrical subject who came out of that kind of convention. Such experiences, destiny, and feelings of life make her aesthetic tentacles bound to express and criticize certain things in the past. Xu Jingya said, "(Shu Ting) used the power of her personality to bear the deep imprint of this era." 2 Therefore, her poems represent the overall voice that came out of that era and must be the voice of that group. Such a call is the pursuit of "self". During the "Cultural Revolution", people were so secretive about the word "self" not only in poetry but also in life that they felt guilty even if it flashed across their minds. The individual is completely submerged in the country, nation, and collective.
Individual freedom of expression is deprived
