Xi Murong's "Nostalgia" is divided into three sections.
1. These three stanzas are:
1. Stanza 1:
“The song of hometown is a flute from Qingyuan
Always sounds on the moonlit night"
Writing the fresh and lingering local accent, the flute "always sounds on the moonlit night", imagine how many nights there are no moonlight in the four seasons of the year, this is faint It is a metaphor that a wanderer misses his hometown all the time.
2. Section 2:
“The appearance of my hometown is a kind of vague feeling of loss
As if waving goodbye in the fog”
< p>Writing about the nostalgia of nostalgia, the nostalgia for my hometown gradually fades away. The outline of my hometown has been shaken by the passage of time, leaving only a vague sense of regret, like parting in the fog, thick as blood but separated by a layer of mist. Clouds and mist. Using the wave of farewell in the fog to metaphorically describe the vague and melancholy imprint of hometown is to describe abstract subjective feelings with an observable and tangible image, which can be described as vivid and natural.3. Section 3:
"After separation
Nostalgia is like a tree without annual rings
Never grows old"
The eternity of writing about nostalgia is a transition from the lingering local accents and lingering nostalgia in the upper two layers, which is very novel in form.
2. Original poem:
Nostalgia
Author: Xi Murong
The song of hometown is a flute from a distant place
Always sounds on moonlit nights
The appearance of my hometown is a kind of vague melancholy
As if waving goodbye in the fog
After parting
Nostalgia is a tree without annual rings
Never grows old
3. Poetry Appreciation:
1. "Hometown's The song is a distant flute/Always sounds on moonlit nights." Just these two sentences can remind people of the ancient saying "Look up at the bright moon, lower your head and miss your hometown." You can imagine how heart-warming this feels. .
2. "The appearance of my hometown is a kind of vague feeling of loss/like waving goodbye in the fog." At first, my understanding of these two poems was naive and one-sided, and I didn't think too much about why the author said it. "The appearance of my hometown is a kind of vague and melancholy." Later, after getting to know Xi Murong comprehensively, I had a clearer understanding. I also further realized that the "blurred" was due to the separation time for too long, and due to various reasons, this "blurred" became "Wang", understanding the poet's situation is very helpful in interpreting such poems.
3. The last section of "After parting/Nostalgia is a tree without annual rings/A poem that will never grow old" condenses "homesickness" on a tree without annual rings, fully expressing the feeling of "homesickness". "Love" will not fade away as people age, but will always remain fresh. The attachment to the homeland can be said to be the most common and eternal emotion of human beings. Wanderers, drifters, and vagrants who are far away from their hometown, even in their old age, hope to return to their roots.
4. Writing background:
This poem was written by the poet Xi Murong in 1982. This poem describes the songs of hometown, the scenery of hometown, and the growth rings of ancient trees. The author starts from the strong and familiar local accent, then continues the nostalgia from the familiar but vague scenery of his hometown, and finally stretches from the heart. The image of nostalgia is transformed into the annual rings of the big tree, and the eternal homesickness is expressed through the image of the scenery, turning abstraction into concrete expression.
