Main content: The poem depicts a gloomy picture of Jiangnan alleys during the plum rain season, thereby forming a lyrical artistic conception rich in symbolic color. Here, the poet metaphorizes the dark and gloomy social reality at that time as a long, narrow and lonely "rain lane" with no sunshine, no vitality and vitality.
The lyrical protagonist "I" is a wanderer walking alone in such a rainy alley. "I" still cherish the longing and pursuit of beautiful ideals and hopes in loneliness. The "lilac-like girl" in the poem is a symbol of this beautiful ideal. However, this beautiful ideal is elusive and difficult to achieve.
From a social perspective, this poem is in line with the sorrow of the era when young literary and artistic people were painful and confused and could not find a way out after the failure of the Great Revolution. It has certain contemporary significance, so it increases its connotation and popularity. . Extended information
"Rain Alley" is Dai Wangshu's famous work.
"Rain Lane" was written in the summer of 1927, after the bloody "April 12" massacre. The poet was 22 years old. The poet, who was once arrested for joining the revolution, faced the white terror that enveloped the country and was lost in pain and confusion. He lived in seclusion at a friend's house in Songjiang, Jiangsu Province, chewing on "the troubles of being Chinese in this era" in loneliness, "sitting at night listening to the wind, sleeping during the day listening to the rain", and looking forward to the brilliant rainbow floating in the haze.
But life is poor, and he spends his days "writing under the moonlight by the window," and the poet can only seek solace in "the footprints of the old days," "the colorful clothes of youth," and lingering under the stars. The gentleness, melancholy and pressure of the times make "Rain Lane" a projection of the darkness of reality and disillusionment of ideals in the poet's heart, filled with emotions of hesitation, disappointment and sentimental pain.
