I am anxious to find an essay by Zhu Ziqing, Song!
Song, written in 192 1 year 1 1 month, is Zhu Ziqing's earliest prose. Although it is a sketch of more than 500 words, the characteristics of his lyric prose have been shown here. At that time, Zhu Ziqing was teaching in the middle school department of China Public School in Wusong. Soon, there was an uproar in China College, and he was kicked out by the school conservatives. But living in Shanghai for a few months is very meaningful to him. He met Ye Shengtao, who he always loved, at the Chinese College, and they were congenial and became very close from then on. China College also has a poet, Liu Yanling, who is a good friend of Zhu Ziqing. The three of them discussed together and contacted Yu Pingbo in Beijing to prepare for the establishment of Poetry Magazine, the first new poetry magazine in the history of modern literature in China (1922+0 was founded in June). At that time, Zhu Ziqing was a 23-year-old young man who had just entered the society. On the one hand, he really felt the mental pressure of the reactionaries on them, on the other hand, he was filled with youthful enthusiasm because he met a bosom friend in the new literature movement. The impression scenery written by Song Dynasty is his ideal hometown. Zhu Ziqing, who went to the "Chinese and Western Music Song and Dance Conference" to listen to the "Three Celebrations Song", temporarily forgot the cumbersome things such as school agitation and immersed himself in the fantasy world with satisfaction. He recalled "a late spring morning" from Singing. At the same time, music turned into raindrops and fell on the poet's face, "creating a moist and relaxed feeling." Then, his hand was touched by a "fresh breeze" and his feet felt a "greasy and lovely tunnel". This passage is all about touch. The following description left a deep impression on people's vision. The poet saw colorful flowers in the garden. Zhu Ziqing's perception of color is extremely rich and unique. What color is "static red", "cold purple" and "wry white green"? Readers can't understand the meaning of this sentence without exerting their imagination in poetry. Finally, it is described by smell. The poet smelled "like a wisp of hungry flowers", "the smell of wet grass and earth" and "fresh steam". Starting with hearing, arousing touch, sight and smell in turn, and finally returning to hearing, the structure of Song can be said to be very ingenious. In addition, there are three technical features. The first characteristic is the metaphor of Excellence. It is a metaphor to compare "breeze" to "lover's breath" and "alum tunnel" to "like a thin layer of emulsifiable concentrate". The above-mentioned "static red", "cold purple" and "wry smile and white blue" can be said to be a metaphor. These flowery words strongly arouse readers' association and produce good artistic effects. The second feature is personification. The flowers in the garden are dreaming, as if they are "worried about Fangchun's rest" and "feeling Fangchun's drowsiness". These words make people feel that they live in "sweet and soft luster" and leave us a very cordial impression. The third feature is exquisite wording. He deliberately used the words "like ~", "like ~", "like ~" and "like ~" with similar meanings. Deliberately used reduplicated words such as "rain", "thin", "misty" and "trickling". Sentences are sometimes interspersed with speculative sentences and interrogative sentences. These rhetorical efforts make this sketch close to a poem. Reading is rhythmic, harmonious and fluent. Ye Shengtao once severely criticized Zhu Ziqing's early prose, saying: "They are all a little artificial, pay too much attention to rhetoric, and their opinions are unnatural" (Mr. Zhu Peixian). But this may be because of close relationship and dare to say malicious words. Song gives people the impression that it is simple and elegant, not flashy and artificial. This is a good work by a young poet, who reveals his heart like the world.
