Notes on Reading Ai Qing's Selected Poems (1)
This summer vacation, I first met Comrade Ai Qing. Ai Qing's poems are full of language tension and emotion. "Why do I often have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply. "
Reading "North", I once again realized his fiery childlike innocence. "The desert wind blowing from outside the Great Wall/has swept away the green of life in the north/the brilliance of time/a dim grayish yellow/covered with a layer of sand fog that can't be opened." It makes me feel like I am in the vast northern land, and the thick loess gives people a strong sense of heaviness. Standing on the boundless desert. It's like a raging north wind blowing from far beyond the Great Wall, mercilessly and ruthlessly insulting innocent lives in the north. The cold wind is not biting cold, but cold to the soul. In Ai Qing's poems, mountains, rivers, villages and crumbling city walls all groaned and lamented the war in the north at that time.
That heartfelt sadness and longing for light. Ai Qing's pen tip is like a bayonet, stripping off his bleak coat, showing me the unfortunate disaster of the northern people, the dying northern people trampled by the enemy fighters, and his strong patriotic feelings.
At the end, "I love this sad country, this ancient country/this country gave birth to the hardest/oldest race in the world I love." This is Ai Qing's modus operandi. At the end, he spoke his mind straight, which made the poem come to an end at the peak, gave him a feeling of doing his best and dying, and made the reverberation linger for three days. It also allows readers to experience the north in the north, and there will be hope in the unknown distance.
As a modern writer and poet in China, Ai Qing was born before New China. In the war-torn era, he spent a passionate youth, which made him feel more angry, disappointed and sad about the riddled country than ordinary people. His poem "China, I am powerless in the night without lights"/Can you give him some warmth? It reflects this kind of psychology, and it is this kind of heart that opens poetry.
To the Sun shows the inspiring spirit and heroism of the Chinese nation with great momentum. Ai Qing's new hope for China also runs through it.
Notes on reading Ai Qing's poems II
Selected Poems of Ai Qing is a selected poem of Ai Qing written by the poet after the May 4th Movement. In poetry, there are people's sufferings, and there are also praises for soldiers' fighting.
For example, I love this land, the author begins with the image of a bird, which implies the smallness of self, the shortness of life and the eternity of the earth, and expresses the author's sincere love for the earth. Think of yourself as a bird and continue to sing for the motherland.
After reading the poem Towards the Sun, I can feel the lofty and intense emotion when Ai Qing wrote this poem. The sun in the poem means freedom and liberation. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, people lived in dire straits. At that time, people longed for liberation and freedom. Finally, one day, the warm and bright sun rises and people are free. They expect that the sun will never go out and society will no longer be dark.
I hope more poets, like Ai Qing, have the spirit of taking the world as their responsibility and become the source and foundation of their creation.
"One wave, one wave, never ending" in the reef symbolizes the poet's strong will to constantly respond to the attack of "waves" and also symbolizes the indomitable spirit of the people. Every wave is shattered and scattered under its feet ... its face and body are like a knife. "But it still smiles at the ocean, which is a kind of confidence and firmness!
I like Ai Qing's poems because he shows his loyalty to his country. I like Ai Qing's poems because he cares about the people. I like Ai Qing's poems, because he loves the land and people as much as we do!
Ai Qing spirit leads us forward and leads us to the future!
Reading Notes on Selected Poems of Ai Qing (III)
On the cover of Ai Qing's Selected Poems, there is a picture: the arid land, at first glance, has no green, the trees are withered and the branches are messy. I know people's lives at that time were very hard and miserable.
When I opened the book, the smell of the book came to my nose and brought me into the world of books.
What impressed me most about this book is I Love This Land. This poem was written in the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At that time, people lived in a hot world, screaming in despair, trying to do something for the country, but there was nothing they could do. So is the author.
At the beginning of this poem, the author compares himself to a bird. Birds are small and short-lived in this ecological environment. Birds are hardworking. From the day they were born, their mission was to learn to fly, fly around the motherland and sing for the motherland until the moment they died. But when the country is in danger, we should also try our best to sing for the motherland. The "hoarse throat" shows us a tortured bird. I can't sing beautiful songs, but I'm still singing. This is its voice with life, expressing its indomitable persistence and never giving up on the land.
On this basis, the poem further describes the singing of birds: land, river, wind and dawn. They were all attacked by the storm, full of indignation and struggle, and even the feathers of the birds below rotted in the ground. This bird is singing about the land, the river and the wind. At dawn, it is integrated with the land and thrown into its arms. It expresses the poet's attachment to the land and implies that he is willing to give his life for the motherland.
"This land attacked by storms, this river of grief and indignation is always surging, this endless angry wind is blowing, and this extremely gentle dawn comes from the forest" seems to be a contrast, but in fact, Storm, Endless Blowing and River of Sorrow tell us that the land that Ai Qing loved at that time is being attacked.
"River" and "wind" symbolize the indomitable spirit of China people; "Sorrow" and "anger" show the people's anger and high-spirited fighting spirit against the atrocities committed against China; "Dawn" symbolizes the liberated area full of vitality and hope, and "incomparable tenderness" expresses people's yearning for it.
The last paragraph directly expresses the love for the motherland. The word "deep" may still be unable to express Ai Qing's feelings for this land, and the ellipsis behind it seems to have endless emotions surging, which makes readers immerse themselves in it and think deeply. In the question-and-answer session, this poem pushed the mood of the whole poem to a climax and expressed the most sincere love for the motherland.
Ai Qing combined personal joys and sorrows with the joys and sorrows of the times, reflecting the suffering and destiny of his own nation and people. Ai Qing's love for the motherland, we see it in our eyes and admire it in our hearts! Ai Qing's spirit, we are worth learning!
Notes on Reading Ai Qing's Selected Poems (4)
Since the holiday, our daily reading task is to read Ai Qing's Selected Poems. By reading this book, I understand the general content of this book and the meaning that the author wants to express when writing each poem, and also let me understand a lot of truth.
Take the article Snow Falls on the Land of China as an example. It tells the tragic social picture of darkness and no future under the rule of Japan and China, and also expresses the author's concern for Japan and China. In the last paragraph, China, can I give you some warmth from the feeble poem I wrote in the dark? Expressed the author's sympathy for Japan and China. But we can also see that you are full of confidence in China and want to change the face of China through your own efforts. Through the personal experience of the first person or the author, or the social reality that the author feels, this book strongly expresses his feelings, expresses his views and attracts readers' interest in reading. He put his pursuit on one thing at the same time. I think it's a good way to write a good article by pinning the article on readers and letting them sing. He didn't nag too much in his article. Very little narration, on the contrary, is a better way to introduce a thing to readers in a golden ratio with your own point of view. This is also a secret of the success of the whole article.
In a word, the book Selected Poems of Ai Qing has benefited me a lot, and made me understand a lot of truth, not only the author's own point of view, but also through this book, I felt the fatuous corruption of the rulers in old China and the situation of creating a new China through the continuous rectification reform of literati and poets.
Notes on Reading Ai Qing's Selected Poems (5)
Why do I often cry? Because I love this land deeply ...-Ai Qing
After reading Ai Qing's Selected Poems, my heart was filled with a little cold gray. The vicissitudes and heavy melancholy contained in those poems still linger in my memory for a long time.
Ai Qing's poems always remind me of the feeling of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". With compassion, he loves everyone who suffers from inequality in the world. His sadness and pain are never out of his own interest. "Although a country is divided, mountains and rivers still exist, and trees and grass turn green again in spring. Petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sadness. " No one wants to see that the land where ancient people lived for thousands of years is going to perish under the enemy's iron horse. The mountains and rivers are broken and the lives are ruined. Facing the hardships of current events, it is obviously cowardly to escape from reality, so Ai Qing has no choice to escape. In that particular era, at present, "self" is insignificant, but it needs to have "self" feelings. Therefore, Ai Qing bravely shouldered the responsibility. In plain words, there is a feeling of compassion: "I love this sad land, an ancient land-this land has nurtured the hardest and oldest race in the world that I love." The poem conveys the eager desire for the light, eulogizing: "All good things are with the light" and "Hope for the dawn in the dark/sing the sun in the joy of victory". For thousands of years, since Qu Yuan wrote "I want to take a long breath to hide my tears and lament the hardships of the people's lives", the selfless love for the people and the feeling of "taking the world as my duty" can be said to be the eternal theme of responsible intellectuals' creation and an important part of realistic art. In Ai Qing's poems, there is no sharp fighting will like "The Yellow River is roaring", because this feeling is sometimes a bit blind and naive. Ai Qing's poems convey a profound sense of powerlessness with "sadness in the north", which is closer to the real life of working people. It reads like cotton stuck in the chest, which sometimes makes people feel a little sour.
In Ai Qing's poems, "Dawn", "Sun" and "Torch" can often be seen, and it is not difficult to see that they have very obvious symbolic significance. Ai Qing's hatred of the dark old society and his eager yearning for the light are all contained in these images; These simple images also make it easier for him to dedicate his love and poems to all the people, thus closely connecting with them. Ai Qing abandoned all useless pretenses and freed herself from the shackles of tedious rhyming and phrasing in classical poetry. Therefore, his feelings are more profound and go straight to the reader's heart.
Read Ai Qing's Selected Poems, and you will realize the broadest mind and greatest feelings a person can have.
