Tagore was born in a well-educated family in Kolkata, India, and his father was a local Hindu religious leader. In foreign countries, Tagore is generally regarded as a poet, but rarely regarded as a philosopher, but in India, the two are often the same. His poems contain profound religious and philosophical views. For Tagore, his poems are his gifts to God, and he himself is the pursuer of God. His poems enjoy an epic status in India. He himself is regarded as a saint by many Hindus.
In addition to poetry, Tagore wrote novels, essays, travel notes, plays and more than 2,000 songs. His poems are mainly written in Bengali, where his poems are very popular.
His prose mainly focuses on society, politics and education, while his poems mainly describe nature and life besides religious content. In Tagore's poems, life itself and its diversity are the reasons for joy. At the same time, his love (including patriotism) is also one of the contents of his poems.
Tagore's poems are used in the national anthems of India and Bangladesh. Owen and Ye Zhi were deeply moved by his poems. With Ye Zhi's encouragement, Tagore personally translated his Jitan Cangli (meaning "Hungry Stone") into English, and he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 19 13.
Tagore supported the Indian independence movement in the early days, but later alienated it. In order to protest against the 19 19 Zalenwala Garden tragedy, he refused the knighthood conferred by the British king, and he was the first person to refuse the honor conferred by the British king.
Tagore traveled many times, which made him understand many different cultures and the differences between them. His description of eastern and western cultures is by far the most delicate of its kind.
