Chang Yao's Riverbed has the characteristics of vastness, grandeur, gentleness, composure and tenacity in image.
Changyao's Riverbed outlines the image of a giant lying on the riverbed at the source of the Yellow River with radioactive conception and infinite spatial sequence.
The riverbed is written in the first person style. The poet not only conveyed the strange feeling of the mysterious and masculine riverbed, but also pushed it to the source of the Yellow River, showing the spiritual life of the mother river. It is this mysterious, lonely, masculine and atmospheric temperament, combined with the feelings reflected in the poet's own life, that makes us feel the fate of the poet in a special era and a rhythm of life for the rest of his life.
In addition to expressing the uniqueness of the theme, the poet's lyric means is also the reason why his poems are unique. Poets love to use short sentences, but they don't seem to emphasize each line too much. Each line has a long and a short, such as "I am a father", and there are as many as five long sentences, such as "I am a sail in an array". It's the square. It is the copper capital of Dayi. This is an unfolding landscape. This is an unfathomable abyss. "
This writing feature also confirms the poet's view on poetic branches: "I don't emphasize poetic branches ... I don't think poetry needs branches." Even without poetic words, it is hard to call it poetry. On the contrary, some meaningful words, even if they don't line up, don't deserve to be called poems. Whether the poem is true or not, I appreciate it with my heart, not by appearance. "
What the poet values is "passion-never-failing passion, which not only means color, lines, melody and active input, but also symbolizes energy, vitality and youthful bodybuilding" (postscript of Chang Yaoshi). Then, the "passion" of the poem largely comes from the uniqueness of the image and the exaggeration of the language, such as "vulture", "female wolf" and "Yellow River elephant" and other warm-blooded animals with original colors, which easily arouse people's desire and imagination for exuberant vitality.
The continuous parallelism of "I am ……" forms an overwhelming momentum, which is not only the momentum of the river bed, but also the momentum, creativity and "energy" of the poet.
