I said you were April,
Laughter lit up the surrounding wind;
Your soul dances in the glory of spring.
You are the cloud on the first day of April.
Breathing the soft wind at dusk
The stars twinkle with unconscious light.
The rain in Mao Mao sprinkled the flowers with joy.
That's light, that's elegant, and you are,
You wear a crown of flowers,
In your naive and serious way
You are the full moon every night.
When the snow melts, you look like a yellow gosling
You are as tender as a bud.
Gentle and happy
Water floats with white lotus in your dreams.
You are a blooming flower from tree to tree.
Swallows chirping on the beam.
-You are love, warmth and hope.
You are the April day on earth!
This poem was published in Wenxue 1934, and the specific writing time is unknown. There are two views on this poem: one is that it was written in memory of Xu Zhimo and to express the memory of his close friend, which we can learn from the TV series April Day on Earth; It is more likely to be written for the birth of his son Liang Congjie, expressing his hope for his son and the joy brought by his birth. However, we can completely put aside these arguments, because this poem is really an excellent work, and its value does not need any external support. Therefore, when the poet died, friends such as Jin wrote such an elegy to the poet: "A poetic waterfall, an April day on earth."
The charm and Excellence of this poem lies not only in the beauty of artistic conception and the purity of content, but also in the skillful form and the beauty of language. Overlapping metaphors are used in the poem, and the images are beautiful without suspicion of carving. Instead, it highlights the artistic conception and purity of the poem. In the gorgeous decoration, the fresh and natural feeling is revealed in the form. This poem adopts the principle of poetic beauty of Crescent Poetry School: emphasizing the harmony of meter, the sculptural beauty of language and the sense of rhythm of music. This poem can be said to be the perfect embodiment of this principle, and the leap of words and the harmony of rhythm have almost reached the extreme.
April is the season for hiking; April, the spring of the year, is the peak season of spring. April, the most precious season of the year, is as fleeting as first love. In this season, the poet should write down the love in his heart and the mood of the season. Poets should compare such a spring scene to "you" in their hearts. What kind of spring scenery is there this season?
The world with a slight smile, the breeze is its talk and its charm. It is light, dancing with the bright spring in various ways. In the world where everything is revived, everything is eager to grow and has a strong breath floating. In the confused world, clouds and smoke are the scene of recovery. After dusk, the cool night takes this opportunity to show its charm. At three or two o'clock, the starlight flashed intentionally or unintentionally, talking to the flowers dancing slightly in the garden, just like the scene in the breeze and drizzle: light and soft, colorful and bright. The full moon rises, saying the solemnity and purity of "you" innocently and solemnly.
This April should be Su Like Dongpo's "Spring Scenery in the South of the Yangtze River": "Peach blossoms are three and two outside the bamboo, and the duck prophet warms the spring river." The short buds of Artemisia arenaria are all over the ground. It is the time when the puffer fish wants to rise. "It is also like the spring scenery written by Du Fu:" Two orioles sing kingfishers, and a row of egrets go up to the sky. There is also Du Like Shen Yan's "Spring Scene": "White clouds and red clouds dawn from the sea, and spring is in the wild." . I saw an oriole flying in the warm air, and a green water plant was reflected by the sun. "The goose yellow is the first life; That green contains infinite vitality. That tender life and fresh scenery, with a sacred light in such a season. This sacredness is as clear and transparent as the holy water in front of the Buddha; Just like Bai Lianhua in the Buddha's heart, it is beautiful and radiant with love. In this season, "You" surpassed this season. " You are a flower after flower, a beautiful and light swallow, with love, warmth and hope, flying with spring.
