But living in poverty, poets can only seek comfort in "old footprints", "colorful clothes of youth" and wandering under the stars. The softness of personality and the pressure of the times make Rain Lane a projection of reality darkness and disillusionment in the poet's heart, full of feelings of hesitation, disappointment and sadness.
Extended data:
This poem skillfully uses symbolism to create a vague and trance-like atmosphere. "I" wandered alone in the rainy lane, as if full of sorrow, but I didn't want to say it.
First, the ancients used the lilac knot itself as a symbol of sadness in poetry. Imagine a girl as sad as a lilac in a rainy lane. She has lilac-like sadness and lilac-like beauty and fragrance. In this way, it changed from a simple metaphor of sadness to an embodiment of a beautiful ideal with sadness. This new image contains the author's pursuit of beauty. It contains the pain of disillusionment of the author's beautiful ideal.
Secondly, the poet used vivid modern language in Rain Lane to describe the image of a Dingxi girl who died suddenly in the rain, which is full of old poetic meaning with the old classical poems and other works created by the poet in his early days, showing more new era breath. "Lilacs are sad in the rain", and nothing can arouse people's hope and disillusionment more than "girls as sad as lilacs". This image is a rare creation in expressing the sorrow of the times.
Thirdly, in ancient poems, the lilac knot in the rain entrusted the poet's feelings about real life scenes. The lilac-like girl image floating in the rain in Rain Lane brings more elements of the poet's imagination. It is not only a possible scene in life, but also the crystallization of the writer's artistic imagination, and an artistic real image produced by the combination of truth and imagination.
Dai Wangshu said: "Poetry comes from reality through imagination, not only from reality, but also from imagination." We say that the artistic conception image of Rain Lane is a reference and transcendence of classical poetry, mainly because it was created by the poet according to his own life experience and imagination. It is the product of artistic imagination, more beautiful than life.
Rain Lane was first praised by people, and an important aspect is its beautiful syllables. Ye Shengtao praised this poem as "opening a new era for the syllables of new poetry". Although it is somewhat flattering, it is very insightful to see beautiful syllables first. Rain Lane consists of seven poems.
The first section and the last section are exactly the same except that "meet" is changed to "float". In this way, the ending is repeated, and the same theme appears repeatedly in the poem, which strengthens the musical sense of the whole poem and also increases the expressive force of the poet's hesitation and disillusionment. There are six lines in each section of the whole poem, and the number of words in each line is different and uneven, and the rhyme is generally repeated in the lines not far apart. Bet two or three times per quarter, and there is no rhyme change from beginning to end.
The whole poem is very short, and some short sentences also cut off the connection between words. However, some of the same words appear many times in rhyme, such as "Rain Lane", "Girl", "Fragrance", "Melancholy" and "Longing", which intentionally make a sound appear repeatedly in people's hearing. This creates a resounding melody and a smooth rhythm. It reads like a soft and thoughtful serenade. A lonely and painful recitation melody echoed repeatedly in the whole song, haunting people.
In order to strengthen the musicality of the whole poem, the poet also absorbed some skills from foreign poems and made the same words meet alternately in the same poem. The repetition and repetition of this language, like the repetition of intertwined lyric phrases, sounds pleasant and harmonious, adding more lyrical color to the poem. When romantic free poetry and "crescent school" tofu dry wind prevailed, Dai Wangshu published "Beautiful Rain Lane", which opened up a new world of musical expression of new poetry.
