Ai Qing's "The Torch Selection" mainly reflects the feelings that the revolution is as bright as the torch, the bright revolution warns people, advocates China people to join in the light, and despises betrayal. The main content of the modern poet Ai Qing's collection of poems Torch is a story of an intellectual who was educated in the collective actions of the masses and strengthened his revolutionary belief in a broader historical background.
1. Historical background: The historical background of the torch is the Anti-Japanese National Liberation War around 1940. There was a serious crisis in the anti-Japanese camp, and the Kuomintang reactionaries headed by Wang Jingwei openly defected to the enemy and became traitors.
2. Character background: The Torch vividly describes the different performances and psychological states of two young women, Downey and Li Yin, in a torch parade, as well as Downey's final transformation. Li Yin has experienced the test of actual struggle, and her thoughts and feelings are firm. Donnie's brother died in the revolutionary struggle five years ago. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, she was also fierce, but gradually she became depressed in a mediocre life and indulged in personal love.
3. Direct source: This poem comes from1the torch parade held in Guilin on July 7th, 939 to commemorate the second anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At that time, the parade was huge. Ai Qing participated in the parade in Guilin and was greatly shocked.
Let our torch summon all the people and let them come to the street. Nobody in this city should stay at home tonight. Let all people join in the fire. Let cowardly souls and decadent souls tremble before our torches. Let our torch show a timid face, a shrinking face.
Appreciation: these poems have completely changed from realism to freehand brushwork, and torches have become the direction of revolutionary victory and bright direction. These poems also appeal to ignorant people to stop being timid and take an active part in this great cause.
5, the original sentence: let us under the supervision of fire, let Judas look up, let each of us be Prometheus, escape from the sky with fire, let the flame of our torch shake the night, shake the high night, and shake the night one by one.
Appreciation: By quoting allusions and metaphors, the symbolic meaning of the "torch" is further highlighted, and the concrete manifestation of revolutionary victory is revealed-destroying darkness with flame, which is the ultimate goal of the revolution, and this is the meaning of struggle, stirring people's hearts and being brave and fearless.
