Homesickness is a meaningful poem, which not only yearns for the reunification of the motherland, but also describes homesickness vividly. Just as many rivers in China are tributaries of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, although Yu Guangzhong lives on an isolated island, as a China poet who loves the motherland and its cultural traditions, his homesickness poems inherit the national emotional tradition in China's classical poems from the inner feelings, and have a deep sense of history and nationality.
works appreciation
1, homesickness is one of Yu Guangzhong's poems "White Jade and Bitter Melon", together with folk songs, four rhymes of homesickness and Luo Erwazi. They are all classic works of Yu Guangzhong expressing homesickness with folk songs. Yu Guangzhong is known as a poet who "shakes hundreds of millions of China people with homesickness poems", and "homesickness" is a theme that he never forgets in many of his poems.
2. Homesickness gives a new interpretation to an abstract theme that is difficult to describe but covered by a lot of descriptions. In terms of images, four common images in life, such as stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits, are selected to give them rich connotations, so that these four previously irrelevant images can be sung repeatedly under the support of homesickness.
3. Yu Guangzhong himself once said that this poem is "quite realistic": when I was a child, I went to boarding school and had to correspond with my mother; Go to the United States to study after marriage and return to Taiwan Province by boat; Later, my mother died and lost her maternal love forever. The first three sentences of the poem are all about women, and the last sentence thinks of the "big mother" like the mainland of the motherland, so the artistic conception and ideas will be suddenly enlightened, and there will be a sentence "Homesickness is a shallow strait".
4. In terms of content, in chronological order, from "young son's Oedipus" to "juvenile lovesickness", to "the turn of life and death" in adulthood, and then to the feelings for the motherland and the mainland, the ever-developing feelings gradually rose, which condensed the vicissitudes of the poet's whole life from childhood to old age.
5. Homesickness at different stages, the difference between the two ends is: I-mother; I-the bride; I (life)-mother (death); I (a wanderer)-the mainland (the motherland). The object of homesickness ranges from concrete "hometown" to abstract national "hometown", from regional hometown to historical hometown and cultural hometown. Make "homesickness" gradually precipitate rich connotation and expressive force.
