Strong love and hate in Ai Qing's early poems.
Ai Qing's early poems refer to the poems from 1932 to 1937 before the July 7th Incident. Ai Qing wrote some poems about the country and people on his way back to China, such as Over there. 1In May, 932, he joined the left-wing artists' union in China, organized the Spring Painting Society with the painter Jiang Feng and others, and held the Spring Painting Society. Ai Qing was arrested and imprisoned in July, falsely accused of subverting the government and sentenced to six years in prison. The prisoner's life prompted Ai Qing to turn from painting to poetry creation: "I use poetry to think, recall, accuse and protest ... Poetry has become my belief, my inspiring force and my frank echo of the world view." In prison, he wrote many poems, such as Reed Flute, Transparent Night, Paris, Marseilles, Shout, Nine Hundred Years and so on. Among them, the poem "Dayan River-My Nanny" shocked the literary world with touching emotions and fresh and natural poetic style, which made Ai Qing famous in one fell swoop. Mao Dun first praised this poem as "describing in detail the life pain of the wet nurse and maid in a gloomy style" (on early vernacular poetry). After Ai Qing/Kloc-0 was released from prison in June, 1935, she taught in Wujin Women's Normal School in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province for half a year, and then she wandered to Shanghai, creating works praising national destiny, such as Sun, Dawn and Spring. 1936, with the support of friends, the first book of poetry, Dayan River, was published in Shanghai. This stage is the period when Ai Qing brought back the flute from Europa and sang Dayan River, and it is also the preparation period and fame period of the poet, which determines the direction of his life. Most of the poems in this period were sincere and strong lyrical, which strongly expressed love and hate for life and revealed the deep suffering of working people. Words are full of sympathy for the unfortunate fate of the people and infinite love and praise for them.
1.2 At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the tone of Ai Qing's poems was sad, but his feelings were extremely strong.
The whole War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period was the climax of Ai Qing's poetry creation. However, the tone of the poet's works is different in the early and late anti-Japanese war. Poetry in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War refers to the poems of poets from the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the autumn of 1939. 1937 after the outbreak of the anti-Japanese war in July, Ai Qing went from Shanghai to Wuhan, and then to Linfen, Xi, Guilin and other places to participate in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement. He has been a teacher of Shanxi National Revolutionary University, the captain of Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Literature and Art Team, the editorial board of the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the editor-in-chief of the supplement of Guangxi Daily. During this period, the poet finished his first lyric poem "Towards the Sun" in Wuhan. With Wuhan as the background, the long poem truly shows the magnificent picture of the national people's struggle for the sacred cause of national liberation in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and praises the light and democracy with high enthusiasm. The appearance of "To the Sun" indicates that Ai Qing has more integrated his personal joys and sorrows into the mood of the times and established his position as an excellent trumpeter in anti-Japanese literature and art.
