Content of the whole poem:
I walked through Jiangnan,
The appearance in the season is like the opening and falling of lotus flowers.
If the east wind does not come, catkins will not fly in March.
Your heart is like a little lonely city.
Just as Qingshi Street faces dusk,
Without a sound, the spring curtain in March can't be lifted.
Your heart is a small closed window,
My dada horseshoe is a beautiful mistake.
I'm not a returnee, I'm a passerby …
Zheng Chouyu's poem "Mistake"
"Wrong" describes the changing process of a woman's mood waiting for her return. After a long time, the lotus flowers bloom and fall. Her heart is like a "lonely little city", closed, dull and lifeless. Here, the lotus flowers bloom and fall, in fact, it is a woman who is happy because she thinks her sweetheart is back, but disappointed because she knows that she is just a passer-by passing by the door; These two kinds of emotional changes are also changes in women's expressions, such as "the opening and falling of lotus flowers". In this "city"-the east wind doesn't come, the catkins don't fly, and the dusk street is deserted. She closed her heart in disappointment. At this time, the pounding of dada's hooves came from the street, which brought new hope to her. But this hope is just a "beautiful mistake". This is not her wish to return home, but just a passer-by.
About the author: Zheng Chouyu, 1933, a native of Jinan, Shandong. During the Anti-Japanese War, she traveled around the mainland with her mother and was taught to read ancient poems by her mother during her refuge. /kloc-started writing new poems at the age of 0/5. However, he said he didn't copy the legacy of classical poetry at all. Everyone thinks that his poems have the essence of classical poetry, just because he has the emotional appeal of classical poets, but the language of his poems is mainly vernacular, mainly to express his own life experience.
Theme: The poem Mistake can be said to inherit the tradition of China's ancient palace grievances and funeral march's poems. In the poem, the protagonist "I" rides a horse and travels far south of the Yangtze River, leaving a woman to live alone in an empty boudoir, waiting for her lover "I" to return day and night. However, the spoony affection of the woman has brought a long and boring wait. Therefore, her heart is "like an isolated city", and there is no "east wind" to deliver news for her, and there is no "catkin" flying all over the sky in spring; Therefore, her heart is a "small window", always paying attention to the "sound" on Qingshi Road, and you can see the colorful spring scenery outside the window without even lifting the curtains.
