Author: Xu Zhimo
I left quietly, just as I came gently;
I waved my hand gently and bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky.
The golden willow by the river is the bride in the sunset;
Beautiful shadows in the waves ripple in my heart.
Green grass on the soft mud, oily, swaying at the bottom of the water;
In the gentle waves of He Kanghe, I would like to be an aquatic plant!
The pool under the shade of the elm tree is not a clear spring.
It is the rainbow in the sky that is crushed in floating seaweed, precipitating a rainbow-like dream.
Looking for dreams? Support a long pole and swim back to a greener place on the grass.
Full of starlight, singing in the splendor of starlight.
But I can't play the piano, just a farewell flute;
Summer insects are also silent for me. Silence is Cambridge tonight.
About the author:
Xu Zhimo (1896— 193 1), whose pen names are Nanhu and Yun Zhonghe, was born in Haining, Zhejiang. 192 1 years ago began to write poetry, known as the pillar of the crescent poetry school. 1965438 to 1922 studied at Clark University, Columbia University and Cambridge University in England. 1922 After returning to China, he was appointed as Professor Peking University and Professor Tsinghua University.
1923, Crescent Society was established in Beijing, with Xu Zhimo as one of the founders. 1926 and Wen Yiduo presided over the poetry edition of Morning News. In Poems, Xu Zhimo and his crescent poets are doing their new poetry experiment.
/kloc-in the spring of 0/927, he founded the monthly New Moon with Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu and Wen Yiduo, and presided over the editing work. The publication of "New Moon" pushed the creation of Crescent Poetry School to a peak. 193 1 year 1 month 65438+9 years, on the way from Shanghai to Beiping, Xu Zhimo, who was only 35 years old, died in the mountainous area of Jinan due to a plane crash.
The days when I was studying at Cambridge University in England, especially deeply influenced Xu Zhimo's life. He called Cambridge his "spiritual hometown".
The British civilization embodied in Cambridge intoxicated Xu Zhimo and gradually formed his dream of "Cambridge ideal". 1922, Xu zhimo returned to China. The dark reality of China under the rule of warlords gradually shattered his ideal. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/928, he went to England again and wrote "Farewell to Cambridge" on the boat returning from England on June 6.
Original explanation:
Cambridge is the hometown of Xu Zhimo's spirit. It is natural to bid farewell to Cambridge in a hurry. Saying goodbye quietly and expressing endless attachment are the characteristics of this poem.
He Kanghe sparkling in the sunset; The golden willow by the river is like a veiled bride, and its bright shadow ripples the poet's heart lake; The green grass on the soft mud is swaying at the bottom of the water, which makes people enchanted-the poet would rather be a water plant and take root in the soft waves of Hekang River forever; The pool under the shade of elm trees, the rainbow in the sky, the dream on the ground, everything, were crushed in floating seaweed.
Although everything has been shattered, the poet is still looking for a dream with a long pole. In the depths of the grass, he would rather go home with a boat full of stars and singing. But in reality, the poet doesn't want to wake up the dream in his heart. His feeling of parting just turns into a lingering flute in his heart and a silent summer bug in the night sky, saying goodbye in silence, leaving in silence without taking away a cloud.
Appreciation of the original text:
The melancholy feelings in Farewell to Cambridge are deeply hidden in the elegant and free description. "I left gently, just as I came gently"-the lyric hero is like a floating cloud, invisible and free, stretching. Cambridge in the hero's mind is also dreamlike, beautiful and fragile. Images such as "Golden Willow", "Green Flower", "Xinghui" and "Xiao Sheng" are used to describe the beauty of Cambridge landscape and his attachment to Cambridge.
These images are often both scenery and lyrical, and scenery and emotion are inseparable. "The golden willow by the lake is the bride in the sunset" —— "Bride" is not only a scene, but also the image of my lover and the expression of old feelings in my heart —— emotion and scenery merge with each other.
Between the golden willows and the green grass, "I" stubbornly searched for "rainbow-like dreams" and "singing in the starlight". In fact, "I" could not indulge in singing, only "silence" and "quietly" left. The scenery remains the same and the people are completely different. The poet bid farewell to Cambridge with his lover's lingering farewell mood and style, and wrote a kind of bitterness.
It should be said that this poem is the poet's farewell to the ideal in his heart, affectionate and quiet, and seems to be afraid of breaking the dream in his heart. It subtly reveals the poet's infinite sadness caused by the disillusionment of Cambridge ideal.
Xu Zhimo's poems are simple, light, gentle and full of melancholy. He is good at combining atmosphere, emotion and scenes, and writing dreamlike scenes is also full of a dreamy artistic conception. And the emotional cycle is repeated, free to stretch, and there is no wriggling. Farewell to Cambridge is particularly soothing and pleasant to read, with a harmonious and elegant musical beauty.
Extended data:
Farewell to Cambridge is a famous work by Xu Zhimo, a modern poet, and also a representative work of crescent poetry. The whole poem takes the emotional ups and downs when leaving Cambridge as a clue to express the deep affection for Cambridge's departure.
The language is light and soft, and the form is exquisite and mellow. The poet paints a flowing picture by alternating reality and reality, which constitutes a wonderful artistic conception everywhere. It shows in detail the poet's love for Cambridge, his longing for his past life, and his helpless sadness at present, which is the swan song in Xu Zhimo's poems.
