original text
It's all a common experience
Are all ordinary images
Fall into a dream by accident
How many novel tricks have you changed?
Are normal emotions.
It's all common language.
Met a poet by chance.
How many novels and poems have changed?
You don't know the power of wine until you are drunk.
Love is the only way to know.
You can't be my poem.
Just like I can't dream about you.

Only by thinking about it every day can you dream at night, and poets always think that they see farther than others, so many novel poems have changed. Dreams and poems are relatively independent concepts, and perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, they are not related. In the author's eyes, poetry and dreams are interlinked: I make my poetry and you dream. Only when you are involved can you feel the fun. Poetry and dreams can refer to each other, but they cannot replace each other.
Dreams and Poetry is divided into three sections, all of which use rhyme. The first section describes the magical "changeable" ability of "dream", which can transform many "ordinary" "experiences" and "images" at will, thus producing various magical dreams. The second part contrasts with the first part. Writing "poet" seems to have the magical ability of "dream", which can "change" many ordinary "feelings" and "words" into wonderful poems. After reading this poem, the author thought of what A Qing Ye Xie said: "Everyone can say what he said, and he is satisfied with what the poet said;" Everyone can describe what can be levied, and in the poet's description! "There must be unspeakable truth, and the unspeakable things have tacit images, and both truth and things are brilliant in the former." (Ye Xie's "The Original Poetry") Therefore, the poet's work is like a dream, with a natural fantasy color. Only in this way can we turn decay into magic and tell the truth and things that ordinary people and ordinary words can't tell.
The third paragraph of the poem is the most wonderful, which not only deepens and visualizes the above meaning, but also proves the poet's fantastic language ability with wonderful poems: "Only when you are drunk can you know the strength of wine/only when you love it can you know the weight", which can be read in contrast to the old sentence "Teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow/are forced to say sorrow for adding new words". All the experiences in the world, only the insider knows the taste, and it is really like a duck to water. In the "preface" of this poem, Mr. Yi Zhi said, "This is my" poetic empiricism "to oppose some poetic phenomena that do not respect experience and abuse language. As we all know, Mr. Yoshino was once a disciple of American pragmatism philosopher Dewey, and pragmatism is inextricably linked with British empiricism. As "poetic empiricism", this poem has the flavor of "meta-poetry" which is popular today. The so-called "meta-poetry" is a poem about poetry, which is similar to China's ancient "poetics". This poem discusses the relationship between dreams and poems. Dreams and poems are metaphors, which obviously involve the essence of poetry, so it is a poem about poetry. At the same time, it can be seen from this poem that the banner of "personalized writing" and "personal experience" that has been flying high in China poetry circles since the 1990s is nothing new. Yi Jun has already "inscribed poems on it": "You can't be my poem/just as I can't be your dream".
Famous comments
The most beautiful love poem of the Republic of China by Xu Zhimo, a representative poet of the modern crescent school: Hu Shi's poems are simple and clear, popular and touching. Popular and easy to understand, natural and simple, this is the remarkable feature of early vernacular poetry.
China modernist symbolist poet Dai Wangshu's The Most Beautiful Love Poem in the Republic of China: Dreams and Poems was Hu Shi's work during the May 4th Movement. This short and vivid poem connects two completely different concepts, namely "dream" and "poem". Under Hu Shi's skillful skills, people can't find the slightest disharmony. In Hu Shi's eyes, dreams and poems are interlinked, and both of them have expectations in ordinary life. Dream maybe this is a vague experience of ordinary people. It finds a meeting point in Hu Shi's poems and becomes clear between dreams and poems.
Peng Guoliang, editor-in-chief of New Creation magazine, The Most Beautiful Poem in the History of World Literature: The Trial Collection of Hu Shi is China's first new collection of poems. It can also be said that he is the founder of China's new poetry. Hu Shi once attached a postscript to this poem, saying "This is my poetic empiricism" in a simple sentence: dreaming still needs experience as the foundation, let alone writing poetry. The big problem for people now is that they like to do inexperienced things ... This poem makes sense, but it sounds beautiful and interesting to read.
