I think there are two ways to appreciate poetry, one is rational appreciation and the other is perceptual appreciation. The so-called rational appreciation means that before reading a poem, we should look at its writing background and symbolic significance of poetic images. The so-called perceptual appreciation is to appreciate the beauty of poetry in isolation, without considering its historical background and symbolic significance of its image. For example, Dai Wangshu's Rain Lane is beautiful if it is appreciated in a perceptual way. In the long rain lane, the girl with an oil-paper umbrella and lilac-like sadness drifted leisurely. What a beautiful picture. However, if we appreciate it in a rational way, the feeling will be completely different. It is to express the author's disillusionment and pain after the failure of the Great Revolution, as well as his deep confusion and hazy hope. "Rain Lane" and "Lilac Girl" are both images in the poet's mind and a reflection of the poet's mood, not a real scene. If you look at it this way, it's boring. So most people like to appreciate it in a perceptual way.
I don't know the writing background of this poem, and I don't know what symbolic significance it has, so I appreciate it in a perceptual way. It's all personal experience. Please give me your advice.
Mr. Wen Yiduo once put forward a theory of poetry appreciation, that is, poetry should have three beauties: painting beauty, music beauty and architecture beauty. This theory was widely accepted at that time. So all the poems at that time were written by such standards, and I appreciate them from these three aspects.
The beauty of painting refers to the beautiful picture composed of various images in poetry, which people can imagine. We always use "poetic" and "picturesque" to praise the real scene that our eyes see. Obviously, poetry and painting are inseparable.
This poem gives us a picture of "Sleeping Beauty".
First of all, in one or two verses, the poet first outlined a picture for us: a pure girl fell asleep under the starlight. This girl is as pure as white lotus. Around her, there is a faint spring stream, and her voice is lowered because she is asleep. There are dancing butterflies beside her, dancing in ecstasy. At her feet, there is a furnace of sandalwood, and curled cigarettes draw beautiful garlands in the air ... what a detailed picture.
Then, from a distance, the poet described the girl's beautiful sleeping state, her thin breathing and provocative thoughts. Her fancy breath permeates the surrounding air, rubs into the fragrance of sandalwood, surrounds her, gently hugs her and caresses her ... In this fresh air, the girl's sleeping state is like a rippling boat in a sparkling room, light and quiet. Appreciating this sleeping position is like drinking mellow wine, which makes people intoxicated in the shadow of flowers.
Then, the poet looked closely, and the delicate skin of the girl was like a rose in full bloom in March. Rose allows readers to almost touch its delicacy and smoothness, and can almost smell its divergent fragrance. ...
Moreover, the poet is not satisfied with the description, but also goes deep into the inner world of a girl, a girl in the Seeds of Love. All her troubles are exposed in dreams, full of longing for the future, and a description of the beautiful things in imagination. There is a song of God in the dream, and there is a dance of angels in the song. What a sweet and brilliant dream, it is woven with silver thread, gold thread and beautiful sunset glow. Don't wake up this charming dream.
Finally, the poet put the camera close to the girl and gave us a close-up shot. The shallow smile is so quiet and beautiful, and the pear nest at the corner of her mouth is like a pearl ... What did this beautiful girl in love see in her dream?
Such a picture, from a distance, looks close. The description is vivid, the metaphor is appropriate, the color, fragrance and taste are dissolved in one furnace, and the quietness, elegance and quietness are integrated into one. There are both external paintings and internal explorations, which are emotional and have both form and spirit.
Beautiful music and poems are arranged in long and short sentences, which makes the rhythm of poems neat and changeable. Short sentences often use dashes to extend their meaning. This dash is not only a continuation in meaning, but also an extension in syllable, which has the effect of lingering sound and continuous meaning. In long sentences, pauses are used to increase the sense of jumping in the poem. The changeable rhyme at the end of the sentence shows that poetry has both a consistent theme and rich and colorful changes. This beautiful picture and beautiful rhythm constitute a beautiful picture and a beautiful movement.
Architectural beauty is the external expression of poetry. China people have always paid attention to formal beauty. So from ancient times to the present, there are many lines in poetry, such as pagoda, triangle, circle and so on. This poem is very particular about form. The number of words in short sentences is similar to that in short sentences, and the number of words in long sentences is similar, symmetrical and changeable. Dashes are like connecting corridors.
The poet's poems are full of ink and color, like oil paintings, and the paintings are elegant and freehand. The rhyme is soothing and comfortable, and the arrangement of lines is steady and changeable, exquisite and light. Reading her books is really a beautiful enjoyment.
