Reflections on the First to the Ninth Poems of Xing Chun Shui

brief introduction

The Star is a collection of poems, which consists of 65,438+064 short poems. Written by Bing Xin, Bing Xin believed in "the philosophy of love" all his life. She believes that "with love, everything comes." In "Stars", she kept praising love. What she loves most is maternal love. Bing Xin not only loves her parents, but also cherishes them. She also compared her three younger brothers to three bright stars. Bing Xin praised maternal love, human love and childlike innocence. At the same time, she also praised nature, especially the sea she was familiar with as a child. Praising nature, childlike innocence and maternal love has become the eternal theme of Bing Xin's life creation. Its theme is: maternal love, nature and innocence.

"Stars in Spring Water" is recognized as the highest achievement of the poem, and Mao Dun called it "starry sky lattice" and "spring water body". Its theme is: maternal love, nature and innocence, which constructs Bing Xin's ideological core "philosophy of love".

"Spring Water" is a companion piece of "Stars", which consists of 182 short poems. It was first published in the morning paper, but it came out three months later than the Star.

In Spring Water, although Bing Xin is still praising maternal love, affection, childlike innocence and nature, she has used more space to implicitly express the troubles and anguish of herself and her generation of young intellectuals. She tells her feelings in a slightly sad and gentle tone, while exploring the meaning of life and expressing her desire to know the true face of the world.

With her unique femininity, Bing Xin wrote two poems, Stars and Springs, in fresh and beautiful language, forming a unique artistic style. First, a strong philosophy is a major artistic feature of Stars and Springs. Many poems in Stars and Spring Water are philosophical poems with profound thoughts. These profound thoughts are often found in harmony poems. So there is still poetic emotion and beauty. Secondly, tenderness is another remarkable feature of Bing Xin's poems. Bing Xin's poems show a feminine tenderness everywhere. With the lyric style of "full of tenderness and sadness", she sang pure love with deep affection and described the beauty of nature. At the same time, it also expressed condemnation of some ugly social phenomena in a unique way. Thirdly, the words are gentle and elegant, with natural rhythm and beautiful artistic conception. The words and expressions in Stars and Springs seem to be handy, revealing a gentle and elegant style everywhere.

The poem "Bing Xin Ti" has been circulating among poets for several years. Liu Dabai, Ye, Xu Yunuo, Zong Baihua, etc. They all wrote many poems with their own characteristics. These poems implicitly express the poet's unique interest in ordinary things and the change of emotion in an instant with true and concise words. Together with Bing Xin's poems, they form a bright and distant star.

[Edit this paragraph] background

As a famous poet during the May 4th Movement, Bing Xin's poetry titles are always associated with stars and springs. There are 164 stars and 182 springs, which are mainly published in the morning post supplement 1922. Short poems have no separate titles.

Bing Xin's novels and essays have won a wide range of readers and countless praises. It is noticed that this new literary genius has the talent of a poet. But she decided to write her own poems because she was encouraged by Sun Fuyuan, a reporter from the Morning Post Supplement. He put an interesting poem by Bing Xin in the poem column, which greatly inspired Bing Xin. She is determined to open the boundary between the Chinese column and the poetry column in her mind, starting as a poet and in the form of poetry.

Bing Xin later recalled the scene when she wrote poems. When she was most curious, she greedily read all kinds of books and newspapers after class. When she met a favorite sentence, she copied it on her notebook's eyebrows in a few words. She used to be like this, sometimes writing down her miscellaneous feelings and memories anytime and anywhere. This figure is quite impressive. Although there are only three or five lines, there are always some personal experiences behind them.

At this time, she happened to see Tagore's serial of Birds translated by Zheng Zhenduo in a magazine, which was full of poetic and philosophical words. Her heart moved and she felt that the words she had written on her notebook eyebrows could also be sorted out and copied down. When copying, she chose the more poetic and subtle ones and put them together. Because they were fragmentary ideas, she chose one of them.

Many critics at that time also thought that Bing Xin was influenced by Tagore, but perhaps it is more accurate to say that she discovered her own poems under the inspiration of Tagore, and the real source was her own "fragmentary thoughts".

Zheng Zhenduo's view is more comprehensive. He thinks that besides Tagore, Bing Xin is also influenced by quatrains and poems in classical poetry. 10 years old, Bing Xin reading of the analects of confucius's Tang poetry, "crazy about poetry", read rhyming couplets, made two quatrains after class, and stubbornly gave them to Mr. Wang.

"Stars" and "spring water" are the meeting of Bing Xin's flashes in life exploration, which contains her knowledge and understanding of the true meaning of life and rich philosophy. They capture the flash of inspiration and condense it into short poems, which are "stars" and "springs". Later, it was published in the column of "New Literature" in Morning News, and was included in "Stars" and "Springs" in a natural and harmonious style, expressing the author's perception of natural scenery and philosophical thinking on life, and praising maternal love, human love and nature. It is short in length, beautiful in writing and profound in meaning, which shows the unique thoughts, feelings and aesthetic consciousness of female writers, and is unique in the May 4th new poetry circle and has far-reaching influence. As the saying goes, "a piece of ice is at ease, and childlike innocence lasts forever."

[Edit this paragraph] Introduction

Star, published in 1923, is the first collection of poems created by Bing Xin. Most of the works are beautiful and crystal-clear poems praising nature, maternal love, innocence and great love on earth. These are the natural brewing of the poet's life, feelings and thoughts. Bing Xin grew up snuggling in the embrace of nature. Her pure soul is soaked in blue sky, sea and maternal love. When she was a girl, she was educated by China traditional and western missionary schools. Therefore, the philosophical thoughts of maternal love, human love and natural love have been strengthened and deified, and the surging May 4th Patriotic Movement and the New Culture Movement have given her a "political" baptism of new consciousness. The collision of eastern and western cultures will naturally spark her life and thoughts.

Bing Xin's poems are rich in content, which is far from the omnipotence of "philosophy of love". Her blank poems are yearning, pursuing, loving, hating, dreaming and disillusioning. For different readers, each poem will give people different feelings because of different experiences, knowledge, experience and artistic accomplishment. Therefore, the aesthetic enjoyment of her poems is different. Only real poetry can have such art.

foreword

19 19 Winter night, Bingzhong and his younger brother read Tagore's Birds around the stove. Bing Zhong said to me, "Don't you always say that sometimes your ideas are too fragmented and it is not easy to write jokes?" In fact, it can also be collected like this. "

From then on, I sometimes write it down in a small notebook. /kloc-in the summer of 0/920, my second brother Uncle Bing dug out this little notebook from the pile of books. He read it again and wrote the word "star" on the first page.

192 1 autumn, my younger brother bingji said, "sister! Can you also print these short stories on paper? " I wrote the last paragraph and published it.

It was a fragmentary idea two years ago, which was evaluated by three children. This is the preface of Stars.

Fanxing spring

Loneliness increases depression.

Get busy and get rid of troubles-

My friend!

Happiness lies in continuous work!

(viewpoint)

When we are lonely, we only think about things that bother us, while when we are busy, we have no time to think about things that bother us. Naturally, busyness will eradicate our troubles. Some people don't like being busy, but when they are not busy, they will increase their troubles. Is it annoying, too ! So happiness is in constant work! The best thing about this poem is the word "increase" in the first sentence. The word itself means to increase on the basis of the original, not just to be depressed in loneliness.

Fanxing spring

Smart guy!

In this lonely world,

Can only carry the lamp of "confidence",

March in the dark.

(viewpoint)

This poem is like Bing Xin warning smart people not to be self-righteous. There are many smart people who are self-righteous, but as Bing Xin said, they can only carry the lamp of "self-confidence". How many people are smarter than others? I think the best word in this poem is: Mo Mo, novel and poetic!
