(A) Dai's staging and characteristics

Dai Wangshu's poems can be roughly divided into two periods: the early "poet in the study"; Later "Anti-Japanese War Poet".

Apart from several high-spirited anti-war poems in the later period, it is no exaggeration to call Dai Wangshu a "poet in the rain lane". Rain Lane is not only his famous work and masterpiece, but also the best footnote of his overall style of poetry. Sad and melancholy; Sorrow and hesitation; A lilac girl has a sad heart.

Dai Wangshu in the study is a sentimental and self-pitying lyric poet.

In a large number of early poems, we can use words such as "loneliness", "sadness", "sadness", "loneliness" and "bitterness" to summarize the overall atmosphere of the poems at this time, just like an abandoned lilac girl crying alone. It focuses on the poet's inner self-perception and is the poet's self-monologue.

The key words of early poetry are roughly as follows:

1) loneliness: loneliness (20 times), loneliness, silence, silence. ...

2) Sorrow: Sorrow (4 times), Sorrow, Sorrow, Wandering, Sorrow, Homesickness, Ancient Sorrow and Sorrow; Melancholy (7 times), worry (5 times), depression, sadness ...

5) Suffering: ghosts, twilight, stillness, darkness, dark night, ghosts; Sorrow, resentment, pain, worry, long-term resentment, resentment ...

About "self-injury and self-feeling":

Sorrow, sadness, melancholy, regret, melancholy, meditation, haggard (5 times), wandering, walking around, wandering, hesitating, worrying, wandering, Nightcrawler, flowers, leaves, autumn. ...

About "tears and crying":

Tears (7 times), tears (4 times), sobs, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears; Cry, cry, sob, cry, cry, cry. ...

Most of the sentimental tone in Dai Wangshu's poems should come from the author's own life experience and the background of that time.

During the five years from 1927 to 1932 when he went to France, Wang Shu's personal experience was quite complicated. ..... Five years of running and struggling, of course, are all futile running and struggling, just to get an empty heart for him; ..... In the midst of suffering and misfortune, what Wang Shu never left behind was writing poetry. This is almost the end of his soul purification. Escape from the smoky real society, read such a sentence in a low voice, and imagine that you have not been caught by the secular network, so as to forget.

-Du Heng's Preface to Wang Shucao

Later "Anti-Japanese War Poets" walked out of the study in the disastrous years. In the face of our compatriots whose damaged land and homes were destroyed, people were encouraged:

Blood-stained land, charred land,

Stronger life will grow.

The new year brings us new strength.

Blessing! Our people,

Hard-working people, brave people,

Suffering will bring freedom and liberation.
