If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the tender dawn from the forest.
And then I died,
Even feathers rot in the ground.
Why do I often cry?
Because I love this land deeply.

I. Writing background
The poem was written in 1938+065438+ 10/7 and published in Ten Days of Literature published in Guilin in the same year. 1938 10, Wuhan fell, and the Japanese invaders trampled on China. The author and many literary and art figures at that time withdrew from Wuhan and gathered in Guilin. The author wrote this poem with love for the motherland and hatred for the invaders.
Second, appreciate
This poem begins with "if", which is abrupt, novel and thoughtful. The "bird" in the poem is a general term, and it is a * * * name. It is different from the cuckoo and partridge repeatedly sung by poets in past dynasties, and has a natural and special charm and significance, but it is entirely up to the author to pursue new art without relying on it.
What's more, the "hoarse throat" in the poem is quite different from the oriole, the weeping cuckoo and the soaring egret in the classical poetry, which is caused by the tragic atmosphere in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War and the deep affection of the special temperament and personality of this "sad poet".
The first sentence of this poem shows the author's sincere love for the land. In order to express his sincere and deep love for the land, the author imagines himself as a "bird", flying tirelessly all over the motherland forever.
The whole poem presents a kind of "melancholy" emotional feature, which is a natural expression of deep love for the troubled motherland. It stems from the suffering of the nation, so it is particularly touching. There is a profound sense of hardship, a broad historical mind and a strong patriotic feeling here.
This kind of melancholy is manifested in two points: First, it is strongly lyrical. This poem can be said to be a confession of the author. The author expresses his feelings for the land in a "direct" lyrical way. It is as serious as "oath", as solemn as "blood", very strong and shocking. The poet summed up the mission of "I" with four symbolic poems.
These four poems have no specific reference, but they have expanded and deepened the connotation of this mission with more vivid and broader general reference. The land that the author loves deeply is experiencing a great historical struggle and great changes. The people are rising, and the nation is awakening. "Very Gentle Dawn" has expected the author to sing for this great era as a bird.
Second, realism and symbolism are intertwined. The author uses realism and symbolism to describe a group of vivid poetic images, which give different symbolic and suggestive meanings to images such as "earth", "river", "wind" and "dawn" respectively. However, the author also has optimistic belief in the "dawn" of the motherland and made a wonderful description.
Ai Qing's poem Hope
hope
Author: Ai Qing
Dream friends, fantasy sisters,
I am my own shadow, but I always walk in front of you.
Invisible as light, unstable as wind.
There's always a distance between her and you,
Like birds outside the window, like clouds in the sky,
Like a butterfly by the river, cunning and beautiful.
You go up, she flies, you ignore her, she drives you away.
She will stay with you until you stop breathing.
Appreciation of Poetry: Poets use figurative metaphor and metonymy to write intangible hope vividly, highlighting the beauty and difficulty of hope. Hope is equal to people's lifelong pursuit, and it is "cunning and beautiful". When you have hope, your life will be motivated. Because hope is so beautiful, she "always walks in front of you" for you to pursue, and life will become energetic because of the pursuit of hope.

Ai Qing, I love this land.
I love this land.
Author: Ai Qing
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:

Writing background
I love this land, which was written in 1938, 165438+ 10/7 and published in "Ten Days of Literature" published in Guilin in the same year. 1938 10, Wuhan fell, and the Japanese invaders trampled on China.

Ai Qing once said: "The poet chose two paths in the face of this cold reality. Some poets are more brave to join the revolutionary life and engage in creation in the dark bottom of the times and hard struggle. Their highest demand is how to more truly reflect the dark reality of China today.
Other poets, on the other hand, escaped from this historical depression and devoted themselves to all foreign forms of manufacturing and transplantation of foreign skills. "There is no doubt that ai qing chose the latter. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Ai Qing went from the eastern coast to the Central Plains, to the north, and to Yan 'an in the war.
During his migration, he saw more social reality and the sufferings of the nation in the anti-aggression struggle. He devoted himself to using his poems to truly express what he saw.
Just like when I came back from Europe early. It is impossible to play the "fresh and melancholy reed flute" with Europa flavor, but repeating the "high excitement" during the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War will not help improve the poet's level, nor can it fully and faithfully reflect the social reality of the continuous stage of the Anti-Japanese War. This "patriotic feeling with strong melancholy" is the continuation and development of all previous feelings.
In the poem "I Love This Land", phrases such as hoarseness, storm, blow, grief, death, decay, frequent tears and so on try to render a strong tragic atmosphere.
If we consider the situation at that time: the Japanese invaders are ravaging the land of China, slaughtering the people of China and insulting the women of China, the nation has reached a critical juncture. It is not easy to win the war, which requires the people of China to exchange their blood and lives.
Ai Qing's melancholy is based on his profound understanding and experience of the protracted and arduous nature of China Revolution and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. He said that telling a faithful soul living in this era not to be depressed is like telling a farmer who is tossing and turning in a muddy dream not to be depressed, which belongs to a naive hope.
But melancholy does not mean disappointment, nor does it mean that the author has lost confidence in the future. On the contrary, his melancholy can give readers deeper strength. He said: "Take melancholy and sadness as a kind of strength!
Gather the longing, injustice and anger that pervades the vast land, and hope that the storm will take it away and sweep the whole ancient world! "The melancholy color is because the poet deeply loves the nation and the people.
In fact, his poems are full of enthusiasm and unremitting pursuit and yearning. Poets are often born in desolation, and light is revealed in darkness. You see, even in the poem "I love this land" which expresses the love for the troubled motherland, there is still a beautiful yearning.
Listen to "I should also sing with a hoarse throat: ... the incomparably gentle dawn from the forest ..." Isn't his "incomparably gentle dawn" a metaphor for a better life after the victory of the revolution? Even in the dark, the poet never lost hope for a better tomorrow.
For the author's deep and complicated feelings, we can use the famous sentence in the poet's own poem as an annotation: "Why do I often have tears in my eyes?" Because I love this land deeply. "
Ai Qing's I Love This Land
Imitate Wen Yi, a fan of I Love This Land.
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a crisp voice.
This land embraced by stars,
This forever rippling river of our youth,
The tenderness that blows quietly,
There is also the extremely loud sound of reading from the campus.
Then I cried,
Even tears seeped into the land.
Why do I often cry?
Because I am proud of my motherland.
Imitate Wen Er, a fan of I Love This Land.
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a loud voice:
This green wheat seedling is watered by the spring rain.
This river and ocean are formed by a trickle.
This huge ship that breaks the waves,
The morning glow slightly above sea level in the distance,
-I continued to open my eyes in surprise.
The ever-changing changes make me dizzying.
Why do I always want to fly?
Because I am willing to sail with this era.
