Ode to the Yellow River is an emotional hymn. The whole poem shows extremely lofty loyalty and patriotic feelings. Its lyrical way is solemn and its tone is impassioned. The poem depicts the Yellow River as China's mother with many powerful words, and casts a river god with loyalty, which makes the whole poem more noble and solemn.
On the other hand, compared with the grandeur and solemnity of the Yellow River Fu, the poem Defending the Yellow River shows a flexible and submissive emotion and pays attention to its visual experience. In this poem, the lyricist's emotion is reflected by color, smell, feelings and details of life, and the beauty of emotion is composed of the beauty of details.
In addition, the different atmosphere also makes the lyrical ways of these two poems different. The combination of scenery and people in the Yellow River Fu vividly shows the magnificence of the Yellow River, emphasizing holiness and awe. In the battle to defend the Yellow River, the atmosphere was tense and serious. Because the Yellow River is facing threats and risks, the relationship between poets and the Yellow River is close and dangerous.
In a word, Ode to the Yellow River and Defending the Yellow River are both successful poems aimed at lyricism. The difference between them is that Ode to the Yellow River focuses on solemnity, emphasizing sacredness and respect, while Defending the Yellow River pays more attention to flexible expression, highlighting the sense of crisis and intimacy, so that readers can experience emotional consistency and sensibility.
