In the "long night", I have been longing for the light, waiting for the dawn, and looking forward to telling my friends what is on my mind. But "you" stopped waiting and went to another world, "lying down and listening to the gossip of Haitao", thus decisively and completely getting rid of the entanglement of "darkness".
Picking a bouquet of bright camellias is the best memory and commemoration for the old friend in the mind of a poet like Dai Wangshu, while placing a bouquet of bright camellias is the best comfort and commemoration for a poet like Xiao Hong who loved and wrote flowers before his death.
The metaphor of "Camellia Camellia" expresses sincere praise, appreciation and nostalgia for Xiao Hong. Isn't the profusion of camellia a portrayal of Xiao Hong's life style-cold ling, noble, Leng Yan, unyielding, persistent and unrestrained?
Wandering all my life, I finally have a place to stay. In the shallow bend facing the sea, I am no longer disturbed, struggling and hesitating, snuggling next to the sea you like, sleeping in a corner of this shallow bend, facing the sea, watching the flowers and listening to the ebb and flow.
This work of mourning for the deceased includes the regret and sorrow for the death of a good friend in his prime, the sincere feelings and nostalgia for his old friend, and the deep feelings and thoughts on his life journey. Long-term bitterness and deep sorrow lurk behind plain words and calm descriptions.
Original poem:
Xiao Hong's Tomb: Modern Dai Wangshu
After six hours of lonely journey,
Put a bunch of camellia on your head,
I waited for the long night,
You are lying and listening to Haitao's gossip.
Extended data:
Xiao Hong died in Hong Kong on 1942 and was buried in Repulse Bay at the age of 3 1. The poet 1938 went to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong 194 1 fell. Arrested and imprisoned for propagating anti-Japanese, with injuries. Although the author of 1944 has been released from prison, the mountains and rivers of the motherland are still broken and the author's mood is still very heavy. The author went to Repulse Bay to sweep Xiao Hong's grave. This poem was written by the author in mourning at Xiao Hong's tomb.
The first sentence is "six hours of lonely long distance". The action is "walking" and the traffic is very difficult; The time is "six hours" and it takes a long time to walk; Emotionally, it is "lonely", and I feel very lonely on the way; Space is a "long distance" and it takes a long, long way. This is a difficult road. The poet was physically tested by the limit and psychologically experienced the abyss-like loneliness.
But he's on his way. There is not much affection in this sentence. How much affection does it take for a person to "walk alone for six hours" to meet you? This way of expressing feelings is very restrained and implicit, and it expresses feelings through the statement of phenomena. This is like using the phenomenon of "no food for tea" to express my missing for you, and using "absent-mindedness" to express my attachment to you.
Then compare the second sentence "a bunch of camellia on your head". The action is "release", in contrast to the continuous verb "go". The short time of "release" is in contrast to "six hours". The contrast between "letting go" and "walking" and "six hours" is light and heavy, short and long, gentle and nervous.
If this explanation can't make you feel the effect, then this poem with similar techniques may be more obvious: "In that year, I kowtowed and held dust, not to worship Buddha, but to stick to your warmth; At that time, I searched all the mountains, not to repair the afterlife, but to meet you on the road. "
Emotional "red" means positive joy. In contrast to the "loneliness" in the first sentence. I am willing to endure a long loneliness for the sake of joy. The "head edge" in space means close. Compare the "long-distance love" in the first sentence. No matter how far away I am from you, I can be by your side.
The third sentence "I am waiting, the night is long" is in contrast to the fourth sentence "You are lying and listening to Haitao gossip". A person is waiting anxiously, and a person is lying listening to gossip. Well, we are talking about mourning poems. So it should be said that the living are suffering and waiting anxiously. The dead in the hearts of the living are carefree.
We pay attention to the time point, 1944, the era of war. Dai Wangshu's mourning is really a sincere envy of the dead in the war years. The mentality of wanting to be detached but not allowed can be seen.
As far as mourning poems are concerned, this poem is implicit, rich in connotation, deep in feelings, uneven in expression, and unobtrusive in expressing feelings, indicating that thoughts are not urgent or impetuous.
