Section 1 explains that Dayanhe is a poor working woman, so humble that she doesn't even have her own name. The poet introduced Dayanhe's tragic life experience from three aspects: no name, child bride, and earning a living by selling milk and sweat. Dayan River, My Nanny is repeated from beginning to end, highlighting the special relationship between the poet and Dayan River.
In the second section, the first sentence points out his special status as the son of Dayanhe and the landlord. The second sentence highlights the relationship between Dayan and "I" and being raised. Here, the poet repeated "Dayan River" four times in a reciprocating way, and at the end of the poem, he changed it to the form of second person address, emphasizing that "I" is "the son of Dayan River who grew up eating Dayan River's milk", which narrowed the distance with Dayan River and poured his unique affection for Dayan River.
The third section introduces the tragic, poor and broken family background of Dayan River. Through a series of comparisons, the poem deeply expresses the poet's infinite yearning for Dayan and Nanny and his incomparable sympathy for her tragic life experience in a strong atmosphere of rendering tragic and desolate. Poets are good at capturing some characteristic images through imagination and association when describing: the grave is "covered with grass", which is surprisingly desolate; The former residence was "closed" and Wafi under the eaves was "dead"; The garden is only "one square foot" and is also "pawned"; The stone chair in front of the door is covered with moss, which has long been abandoned, and a scene of terror and ruin is presented to readers.
The fourth section describes the scene of "I" in Dayanhe home. With eight parallel sentences and eight details, it is described in detail that Dayan River is engaged in endless busy housework, on the other hand, it is always concerned about the baby, always giving him warmth and caressing him everywhere, which fully shows Dayan River's diligence, kindness and selfless love for the baby. The poet fondly recalled the "thick palm" of Dayan River, which was a pair of hardworking and warm hands of his mother. The poet showed her efforts with vivid pictures rather than abstract words. Through hand movements such as "take", "pat", "let go", "make up", "pinch" and "take", it shows the hard work and fatigue of the nanny. However, even under such circumstances, Dayanhe held me in her arms and stroked me with her thick palm. Through comparison, the deep affection between mother and son is highlighted. "Black sauce bowl", "black table", tattered clothes and lice on shirts highlight the poverty of Dayanhe family.
In the fifth section, write "I" and leave Dayan River for home. The word "eat up" shows that Dayan River has exhausted all its efforts to feed the baby. The question at the end of the poem is "Dayanhe, why are you crying?" It not only makes emotions stir up waves at once, but also vividly shows the great research and the reluctance and infinite love for the baby, and also vividly writes a child's innocence and ignorance.
In section 6, I wrote "I" and returned to a well-off home. I was as nervous as a strange new guest. In this passage, the poet tries his best to describe the rich and luxurious life of the landlord's family from the aspects of food, clothing and housing, such as "carved furniture with red paint", "golden patterns on the bed", "silk buttons on newly changed clothes", "painted kang stool with brazier" and "three grinded rice", which is in sharp contrast with the poverty of Dayanhe's family. Hard-working people are poor to nothing. The plaque of Happy Family, New Guests, I gawk at it, Sister I don't know, Born in my parents' house and Wandering around, the poem contrasts with Dayanhe's home through this series of contradictory images, reflecting that in Dayanhe's home, although poor, it is full of joy and negotiation, but in his own home, it is rich but has no feelings.
In section 7, I wrote about Dayan and coming to my house to help me. Use six juxtaposed sentences to describe Dayan River year after year, regardless of winter and summer, regardless of cold and heat, bearing heavy labor: washing clothes, cooking, feeding pigs, cooking soup, harvesting wheat, drying beans ... The poet repeatedly laid out "She is smiling", which contains profound tragic meaning. On the one hand, Dayanhe's "smile" shows how humble Dayanhe's requirements are and how easy it is to achieve her life goals. On the other hand, it also shows that in the old society, the poor had to smile in front of their masters in order to make a living, which infiltrated the poet's deep sympathy for her tragic fate. The repetition of the beginning and the end shows the great research and use of everything, the milk first, the sacrifice for "me" and my family, and the humiliation and hardship of a working woman at the bottom of society.
Section 8, further write Dayan and sincere love for her baby. Through several typical details, the poet truly showed her feelings for the baby: during the Chinese New Year, she was busy cutting candy for the baby, and put the bright red and green Guan Yunchang painted by the baby in a prominent position. When she saw everyone, she couldn't help praising her for being wet behind the ears, and even had a dream that she couldn't tell anyone. The breast is happy, and so is she. It can be seen that Dayan and his life's fate are all on the map. These touching details show that Dayanhe loves his baby as much as his son, and fully shows Dayanhe's beautiful and rich inner world.
Section 9: Write about the grief of the family when the Wild Goose River died. The husband "shed tears for her" and the five sons "all cried sadly", which shows that she is loved by her husband and son in the eyes of her family precisely because of her hardworking and selfless character. When she died, she was still worried about her baby, calling his name gently, showing the depth of her love. Repeatedly "when she died, her breasts were not with her" shows the author's condolences and guilt.
10 section, funeral of Dayan River. "Bullying of human life for more than forty years" and "Tragedy of countless slaves" are summaries of Dayan and tragic life. "Four-dollar coffin and several bundles of straw" and "a few feet of land where the coffin is buried" are the fate of Dayanhe's miserable life. Here, the author skillfully uses figures to compare, "more than 40 years" and "countless" are huge figures, highlighting the long time of her suffering and the depth of her disaster; "Four dollars", "several bundles", "several feet long" and "one hand" are all tiny numbers, which highlight her meager income and strongly accuse the injustice of this dark society in a tiny contrast.
Section 1 1 describes the tragic experience of Dayan and her family after her death, and the poet himself embarked on the road of revolution. Here, from Dayanhe's tragic life to her family's experience, the poet reveals the tragic fate of farmers in old China from a broader and deeper level, and curses and accuses the unreasonable social system. The poet changed from a "landlord's son" to "writing a spell to this unfair world" and "brothers meet each other and are closer than they were six or seven years ago", all of which shows that the poet really became the son of Dayanhe.
Section 12, this is a hymn dedicated to Dayan River. This passage echoes the beginning, the poet turns from memory to reality, and time returns to today. The poet's feelings also reached a climax, expressing his feelings in eight sentences, showing his strong love and sincere praise for Dayan River. Everything presented to the earth, my nanny like Dayan River and their son, is presented to Dayan River who loves me as her own. These last three sentences make the meaning of "Dayan River" wider. The significance of Dayan River image lies in that the author not only eulogizes and praises Dayan River personally, but regards Dayan River as the nanny of human beings and the representative of thousands of working women in old China, Qian Qian and Qian Qian. This expands the artistic conception of poetry, deepens the theme of poetry and expresses the poet's love for all working people.
How to understand Purple Soul? From the perspective of visual psychology, different colors have different symbolic meanings. White symbolizes purity, green symbolizes life, blue symbolizes the ocean and also means silence. Purple is the color of pain and depression, and purple is also a noble color. What Ai Qing emphasizes here is bitterness, melancholy and depression. Every word in the poem emphasizes the pain that Dayanhe suffered all his life. The purple soul is the soul of pain and sadness. On the other hand, because a person's soul has suffered too much bullying and too much torture, then this person's soul will be glorious and great because of "bearing too much"!
13 directly expresses the poet's high respect and deep love for Dayan River through calling.
The last two verses are the climax of the emotional development of the whole poem, from memory and narration to direct eulogy and praise. The line arrangement at the end of this paragraph can be described as ingenious. The five elements are three characters, twelve characters, four characters, three characters and two characters, which are shaped like hearts, suggesting that the poet wrote heartfelt words.
