background

Tagore believes that as a poet, if you just fiddle with flowery words or show off your writing skills, you can't reach God. Those flashy decorations will become obstacles. He advocates innocence and hopes that his life will be "as simple and upright as a flute" and let God "blow out music", so as to achieve the unity of man and God. Tagore's seventh section

19 12 Tagore personally translated Chittaglia into English and won the Nobel Prize in Literature the following year. The jury spoke highly of Tagore's creation, especially his efforts to "reconcile the polarization of human civilization" through literary creation.

The Gardener's Collection 19 13 after Chittaglia is still a "song of life", but it is more integrated with the poet's youth experience and describes the happiness, troubles and sadness of love in detail, which can actually be regarded as a youth love song. However, the poet sang these love songs when looking back. When recalling the throbbing of youth, he undoubtedly kept a certain distance from his youth experience, so that he could examine and think relatively rationally, thus making this love song shine with philosophical brilliance from time to time.

Crescent Moon Collection is a naive nursery rhyme sung by a poet from a wise and clean heart after many vicissitudes. The poet created a crystal fairy tale world by casting his childhood experience and with the help of children's eyes. Profound philosophy is always revealed from naive words and naive pictures. It can be said that the heart of the wise and the innocent childlike innocence have reached the best integration in the new moon series.
