Reef
Ai Qing
One wave after another
Endlessly rushing over
p>
Every wave is at its feet
Being broken into pieces and scattered...
The appearance on its face and body
It looks like it has been chopped by a knife
But it still stands there
With a smile, looking at the ocean...
Extended information:
"Reef" is a poem written by the modern Chinese poet Ai Qing. It uses the narrative perspective of a bystander to depict countless waves being broken into pieces by the reef and the image of the reef standing motionless in the face of the vast ocean.
The meaning of this poem has infinite space for interpretation. This can be generally seen as a struggle between two forces, or it can be seen as a specific and specific contest between ourselves and the enemy. The reef can also be seen as a representation of tenacity, indomitable spirit, and so on.
To sum up, this poem is an excellent poem. The only regrettable thing is that the "suggested" sentences are still simple and lack the appeal of the atmosphere.
Ai Qing (1910--1996), formerly known as Jiang Haicheng. The poem "Reef" is a short poem written by Ai Qing in July 1954. In ordinary people's writings, rocks are always described as ugly things that block waterways and crash ships, but Ai Qing observes and describes them from a new perspective. The reef stands on the sea and is attacked by the endless waves.
In order to survive, it fights tenaciously with the waves, and always "breaks" every wave that "comes over" into pieces; even though it is scarred, it is "as if it has been struck by a knife." ", but still standing tall, smiling, looking at the ocean.
As the poet said: "As a nation, as an individual demanding the right to survive, what should we do if we encounter continuous persecution?" "This is just the beginning of 'endless attacks'. The attitude that should be adopted from the perspective of the 'reef' - what other way can it have?
However, some people say that the reef is 'enemies to ships of all sizes'... He completely forgot The rocks are immovable, and ships of all sizes should not touch the stubborn rocks. This is the different result of looking at the problem from two different perspectives." ("Selected Poems of Ai Qing") It can be seen that the reef is a symbol of the power of all oppressed nations and all oppressed people to fight against the old forces of the old world.
Ai Qing is good at using symbolic techniques to express his true feelings. In the poem "Reef", the poet casts his unique thinking about life into the symbolic image of "reef", which not only personifies the reef, but also gives the reef "a sound beyond the strings" and a "purpose beyond the image". This greatly enhances the artistic appeal of the work.
The whole poem has concise language, vivid images, implicit meanings and profound implications. It is the result of the poet adhering to the principle of realism creation and "writing through his own heart".
