Motherland, My Dear Motherland is one of Shu Ting's representative works, which aims to express the poet's deep affection for the motherland. Compared with similar poems in the past, it has distinct characteristics and personality of the times-both the confusion, pain and happy hope of contemporary youth and the true feelings of daughter's dissatisfaction and dedication to the motherland. The whole poem is novel in conception and sincere in feelings, which is contrary to the floating and mythical praise of some previous poems and sings the songs of the motherland from a unique angle. As the poem sings: "I am your brand-new ideal,/I just broke free from the spider web of myth", the poet scans the poverty and backwardness of the motherland with the eyes of a naked child and expresses deep sadness with the heart of a boxing daughter: "I am poor,/I am sad. /I am your ancestor/painful hope,/I am a "flying" sleeve/a flower that will not fall to the ground for a thousand years. " After indulging in pain, I express the joy of hope: "I am your brand-new ideal", "I am your tearful smile vortex", "This is a crimson dawn/it is bursting". In order to realize this beautiful hope, the poet expressed a desire for dedication: "Then get your richness, your glory and your freedom from my flesh and blood."
In order to express this deep feeling, the poet adopted a rhythm from low to high. Only when you are low and slow can you cry like complaining, like sadness, like resentment; Only with high pitch and quick action can you be passionate and indomitable. In order to express the poet's blending consciousness and dedication to the motherland, the whole poem adopts the method of alternating blending of subject and object. The subject is the poet's "I" and the object is the "motherland". In the process of the whole poem, let them be integrated-I am the motherland and the motherland is me. The motherland is my pain, and I am the sorrow of the motherland; The motherland is my confusion, and I am the hope of the motherland; I am the whirlpool of tears and laughter of the motherland, and the motherland is flying and running in my flesh and soul.
Traditionally, people call works such as Motherland, My Dear Motherland Oak, This is Everything, After the Storm and so on. As the "high-pitched area" of Shu Ting's poems. Because they directly express the poet's political feelings and ideals of the times, they have won more praise and praise.
Shu Ting's To the Oak Tree
Shu Ting's poems have bright images and meticulous and smooth thinking logic. In this respect, her poems are not "hazy". Poetry, on the other hand, mostly uses metaphors, partial or whole symbols, and rarely expresses itself, so the images expressed are vague.
To the Oak Tree enthusiastically and frankly sang the poet's personality ideal. Oak and kapok stand side by side, facing each other affectionately in an independent manner, which can be said to be a group of symbolic images with brand-new character in China's love poems.
The image of "oak tree" symbolizes the rigid beauty of men, while the kapok of "safflower" obviously embodies the female personality with new aesthetic temperament. She abandoned the delicate nature of old-fashioned women and was full of rich and vigorous life breath, which was exactly the same as the poet's ideal of women's independent self-esteem.
In artistic expression, the poem adopts the lyrical way of inner monologue, which is convenient for expressing the poet's inner world frankly and openly. At the same time, the image is constructed as a whole symbol (the whole poem correspondingly symbolizes the independent personality and sincere love of both lovers with the whole image of oak and kapok), which makes philosophical thoughts and ideas germinate and poetic in a kind of intimate and sensible image, so this poem with rational temperament makes people feel that there is no preaching.
